Nigga please.
Meet persona non-grata, I mean Michael Richards. If you have half a life then you already know that he recently dropped the “N” bomb on some black people at the Laugh Factory. I certainly didn’t think his tirade was at all funny. Despite his attempts to apologize, it seems the general consensus is that he is a racist. Maybe he is, and maybe he isn’t. Since then, he’s been the butt of many jokes on late night television and that probably won’t end anytime soon. This whole incident brings up a good point:
Family members are allowed to badmouth each other, but no one else can–Keep that in mind. Black people can call each other the “N” word if they so choose, but anyone else who does must realize there is a fine line between “really funny” and “racism”.
That said, leave the “N” word to Paul Mooney (or maybe not?).
Leave the Honkey jokes to Jeff Foxworthy.
Leave the Mexican jokes to Carlos Mencia.
Leave the Jewish Jokes to Mel Brooks.
Oddly enough, sales of the 7th season of Seinfeld have gone up. Sad. There’s an old adage that states “There’s no such thing as bad publicity”, –And this is pretty bad publicity.
I’ll end with a quote taken from The Family Guy: “Brothers and sisters fighting is as natural as a white man’s dialogue in a Spike Lee movie.”
Be good to each other.

Man, he wasn’t using the N word to be funny. It was an all out attack. It wasn’t just the N word. He was talking about hanging people from a tree. It was about the worst public spectacle I’ve seen in years.
his career is dead. No one will ever hire him again. I think it’s probably hurting the Seinfeld syndication as well.

Maybe you missed the point of this post. My whole point is that I didn’t think it was funny.

Oh, I gotcha. Hey, I grew up in the South. Even us non-racists are slightly minimally racist. But this guy was borderline criminally racist. He lost it. I’ll never watch another show with him in it without thinking about hit tirade

Yeah, ramdac it wasnt funny, because he was trying to be funny at the time.
Sales of Seinfeld Season 7 should decline because to Richards. If the show was called Kramer then I would understand, but the show is about Jerry Seinfeld. Yes, I did buy my copy after the fact to be exact.
I do believe Richards is a racist though, the words that came from his mouth can only come from someone who believes that way. It is pretty sad.

Yeah, this guy’s got issues all right!
UHF and Problem Child are forever ruined experiences for me, LOL!
His career may be dead, but he’ll never starve, what with those lucrative Seinfeld royalties coming in.

UHF was a special movie, but dont forget him trying to shoot the Lone Rangers in Airheads.
Obsolutely, the man will never have to work again anyway.

What do you think about the guys he attacked about trying to collect money from him?
Personally, I thought they hurt the morality of their point by doing so. Also, I just dont want this to open a can of lawsuits that when someone goes off on you, you now have the right to sue them for money.
I can see all the judges feeling like big mamas nows
“Mr. Jones called me a stupid head!! Make him pay me and make him tell me I am not a stupid head!!”
