If you go to websites where the video is posted, it is telling, how many people come out supporting him. I am so over people who enjoy privilege based on their race telling people who have endure oppression because of their race to get over it--and then claiming not to be racist. I AM SO OVER IT. If you are a bigot, at least claim it. Do go around spouting racist and bigoted beliefs and then try to claim that you are otherwise.

Down with Michael Richards. There is no apology that makes up for this.

He performed at the same club the very next night! Shouting racial slurs at your customers isn't enough to get him fired???

Personally I'm glad he said it, b/c now I know his true colors. I'd rather him be honest about how he feels than be a closet racist. At least we know what to expect from him now. I can't imagine being in that audience though :mad:

Star might want to try a sit up or 50 before she tries certain outfits

OK....I just saw what he said. It was on the news. I encourage everyone to try and find a clip. There is one on youtube but you have to log in or sign up due to the content of the clip. He was enraged in the clip:eek: It's just disgusting. He was pointing and saying "He's a ni**ger!!":eek: :mad:

ETA: Go to www.tmz.com and scroll down a little. They have it there.

teena 11-21-2006 12:28 AM

He was on letterman apo-la-lying.
I think it wonderful when people with a certain level of celebrity have a break from reality and say what is really on their minds, just like Mel Gibson. Can you imagine how many blacks supported his career? This is the best. Now he will get to see how n*****s will respond to his foolishness.

Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't get jumped afterwards. He's washed up...unfortunately "we" can't really "hurt" him in any way. Mel Gibson going off on Jews and dude going off on Black folks are two different things.

Y'all know what I mean...he apologized and said that he took the heckling personal, which translates into "this is really how I PERSONALLY feel about Black folks..." :mad:

I agree. Mel Gibson's comments may be viewed as slurs. It's open for interpretation. According to sources, he said that "Jews are responsible for the wars in the world" and asked the officer if s/he was a Jew. One may or may not take offense to those statements. Though I am NOT excusing what he said, it's open to interpretation as to whatever the comments were inflammatory.

However, in the case of "Kramer," he was sober, in what appeared to be his right state of mind, and decided to go on a tirade! He REPEATEDLY referred to these particular audience members as the n-word, made references to lynching, made statements that would imply that he KNEW what he was saying and that it was WRONG. He even continued with his tirade after he heard/saw the audience's reaction.

He can keep his raggedy apology. But, since he was only talking about black folks, I'm sure his fan base will go for the okey-doke and welcome him back with open arms. Isn't that how it always is?

delph998 11-21-2006 01:39 AM

Some things will never change. We will always be the N word to somebody.:confused:

lovelyivy84 11-21-2006 11:40 AM

His apology wasn't for black folks, point blank. We were not part of his fan base to begin with, and really there's no way to apologize for something that appears to just be your mindset.

His apology, IMO, was so that all his white and jewish fans can feel better about liking him again. SInce folks were actively laughing in the audience while he was saying it, I think it'll probably work out just fine for him.

you hit the hammer on the head!

His Jewish fans need to think carefully before accepting him back. In my experience, the people who hold these feelings toward blacks tend to hold worse feelings toward Jews; where there is disregard for the pain and suffering of black folk, there is pure hatred for the very existence of Jews.
