Poor Kramer

I am not racist, homophobic or any of these lovely defects of character that seem to cling to our race like static. Matter of fact it makes me sick to see it. That being said I saw the clip several times and mostly what I came away with is that the guy is a hack as a stand up, tried to get it going with the heckler and it got way away from him. He couldnt bring it back and just burried himself deeper and deeper. Is the guy a racist? I have no idea. Could it have gotten so ugly from a non racist? dont know..... just sayin what I think.
 
The best part was his apology on Letterman. He says "afro-americans" and the crowd started laughing because it looked like a bit and Jerry says "Stop laughing, it's not funny!" At that point is was hysterical.
 
He should have just turned around, dropped his pants and mooned 'em. It would have been funny, shut 'em up, and made him at least not be the villain of the peice.

Nice picture of Scott Ian eating, above me, btw...

I also like the quote further up about being different enough to change by staying who you are. Alternative to what? -- Absofuckinglutelly brilliant...
 
These 24 posts here contained probably a half of dozen of "fuck" word (with capital "F" or otherwise, but spelled fully and correctly), but only one person was brave enough to type "my pals" instead of "n"-word...
I tell you what. I'm not a racist. I'm full of love to every human being no matter what race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation... (as long as they don't support the reunion:heh: )Therefore I have a full right to say "my pals" and to call anybody a my pals anytime, because I mean no insult by saying that.
 
The "African American" bullshit sounds like... well... bullshit. Even the blacks know that. That's why they prefer to call themselves "my pals" instead of "AA". I'm not even going into why the white race is called "caucasian" these days? What, they all come fr. the Caucasus montains, even those who are afraid of heights? Hypocrisy, anybody?
 
Reason fights a losing battle in today' political and social atmosphere...

The word Bigot, according to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language 1977 edition, applies to "anyone with strong opinions, esp. in the area of race." That describes everyone. Not just racists. Pro-civil rights people, myself included, are bigots by this definition.
 
I'm racist against whoever broke into my car. Whatever color they were (?), I hate the pieces of shit. And I'd love to hang them from a tree.
I'm sure if I knew the color of their skin, I'd call them the offending name. If it was a couple black dudes who broke into my car, I'd call them my pals. BUT I have friends who are black- I wouldn't call them that. I wouldn't even think that.
I have a lot of Mexican friends too. But if I knew the guys who broke into my car were Mexicans, I'd probably call them spics.
Also, if it had been some white folks who broke into my car, I'd call them piece-of-shit white trash motherfuckin' cracker-ass-crackers. But I'm not racist against white people either.
I'm only racist against whoever it was that broke into my car. Whatever their race may have been.
My point is, there's black people, and there's "n-word" (don't want to say it too much, though BALDGUY makes a good point). Two different types people in my opinion.
There's Mexicans, and there's "s-word". Also, two different types of people.
There's white guys, and there's "c-word". Same thing.

that is EXACTELY the way I feel, minus the reunion part

You think typing the word "my pals" from the safety and privacy of your own home makes someone brave? I intentionally refrained from using the word in my original post out of consideration of others, not out of fear.
Why is it that everytime I come to these boards lately I get this weird vibe?
 
I can't help but feel sorry for the guy. I mean what he said was really stupid but Jebus Christ do they need to make such a big deal out of it? The guy's getting death threats and all kinds of stupid shit over a stupid fucking word...in AMERICA! If it was a black guy making racist comments about another race nobody would even give a shit. It's fucking stupid shit like this that keeps racism alive in this country. Some people need to grow the fuck up and get over it all and worry about imporntant shit, like changing that stupid law that forbids selling booze on Sunday and shit.
