Ever been to a comedy club like that? Heckers or people who are disruptive get an absolute pasting from the comedian. This is no different, its pretty much an unwritten law that stuff like that goes on. If you find a simple word offensive in that situation then get thicker skin. Its not like he was screaming it at a church or something.

Obviously no one here has been to an 'ADULT' comedy night, that's right where the kids stay at home (silly on my part to assume many adults here), as was just said it is expected of the comedian to absolutely come down on any hecklers. A good example if you don't get out much is to watch Champagne Comedy on C31 in Melbourne and wait till someone gets a bit of stick from the comedians for being disruptive to there routines.
The thing that really amazes me though is how many of you seem to be so offended by what Kramer said and yet when the black guy (oops African American of colored descent) calls him a mother f'n cracker a**, no one seems to take offence. Who is the greater racist in this, Kramer for having some fun with an interupting heckler or the heckler who doesn't have any recourse but to be just as offensive if not more. Even the others in the audience who 'oooh' at their disapproval of Kramers use of the N word don't seem to bothered at a black guy showing just how racist he is. Amazing it:

If anything it will probably help his career, now his name is in the headlines.

He went to far, and you can sense underlaying hate.
If you want to see racial comedy that does not go over boundaries, check out Russell Peters. |

Raid YouTube for the "Bill Hicks - Freebird Heckler" clip. It's one of my favourite retaliations to a heckler purely because Bill Hicks was the master at upsetting people, and goes so far out of his way to come down on the knob jockey who interrupts his show. Some of the things are pretty offensive, but who in the crowd seems to care?
I take Michael Richards attack no differently. As has been stated, when some jerkoff comes to a show and sets out to interrupt the comedian, trying to look like a hero, it seems to be almost an unspoken rule that he (or she) MUST cop whatever can be thrown at them. No sympathy for the clown who so clearly was upset by someone yelling at him, regardless of what was said. That's what you get for being a loud mouthed fool. |

It always amuses me that in THE LAND OF THE FREE where the first amendment to the constitution is:-
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#Am1 That lynch mobs of minority groups with vested agenda fueled by media hype attack anyone who says anything that is not in THEIR opinion politically correct. There is plenty of freedom of speech when attacking the Government but should anyone make a comment, accurate or not, about any group they come aut guns blazing. That there were murder threats because he (a white person) vilified a non white person is the ultimate in racism. Where does it go from here? Someone kills kramer because he made comments about his group. Is that justified? Ok lets try to kill all the non whites. Then we can try kill all the non christians. Then try to kill all the non catholics. Then kill all the non english speaking catholics. Then kill all the catholics who do not go to church 6 hours every day. Nah, we have already done that, it didn't work. We tested it for quit a while though, from about 500AD for about 1000 years. |

All humans have the right to be TREATED equally but we are not all equal. We never will be. This is just plain medical fact. Each race and sub group is both superior and inferior to every other race of sub group in many many different areas. Obvious stuff:- Why are the majority of fast runners of African origin? Why are all the fasted swimmers of Western Europian origin? Why do Japanese not have as many heart attacks? Why do Tibetans live so long? Why are Pygmies shorter that most? Definitely not equal. We/they are all human and all deserve to be TREATED equally....... |

dunno if u's seen it but on the news he apologized.
i dont why all these 'white boys' on this forums are taking offence to a black word, or N word.. not aimed at me so why should i care ? MILLIONS of 'african american' stand up comedians rip the shit out of white people on stage ... crackers, white bread, white boys.... i dont see 'you people' getting angry about it ... "whats the big ****en deal *****". |

Why are you taking offence to this?? Are you jewish?? Someoine makes an observation and suddenly people feel the need to apologise for someone elses actions/words??? Quote:
We are not a minority, well white people anyway, hang on back the fk up, the numbers might say otherwise, over 2 billion people in just India and China alone, don't know the numbers of black Africans in Africa(safe to say though it would be a lot). Not forgetting the African Sth Americans, the Pacific Islanders, all of the 'small' asian countries, although small in land mass most have far greater numbers of people than Australia, which is not exactly 'white only' either. Then as Tony(Flappist) said the subgroups of 'white bread'' - European, both east and west, Scandinavian, Latin/Latino, Slavic, Middle Eastern (although technically asian) then the English and all the little segments their as well. So have another think about who are the real minority and stop apologising for some PC 90's crap. I remember high scholl(barely but have some flash backs) the guys I used to hang with were a huge mix of nations and colors, so don't someone jump on the racist bandwagon and start painting me. The thing that I remember most was how much crap we gave to each other, none of us got too sooky about it, grow up and enter the real world, leave fantasy for the books.

Just watched it and it was an absolute cracker, oops some black man might take offence to that word on behalf of all the whites and feel the need to apologise to all the whites. But let me ask you this - Who is he actually making fun of??

Some of you are totally missing the point imho.
Comedy that is designed to use race, creed, color, whatever, can be and usually is funny acceptable, etc. This didn't fit in that category imo. |

Simply stating the facts, we have always thought of Blacks, Asians, Indians as a minority, but the funny thing is that they are far from a minority on the world stage. Stating sub-groups puts it more into context, I'm not saying that any of them claim to be anything apart from what they are.

Hey remember, the media only showed us what the comedian said! I saw the footage and could not hear what the niggers were saying to start with...which no doubt would have been as good as they were receiving.
So whats the problem???? Man gets heckled.....man sticks up for himself...all good. Geez the media love to sensationalize boring everyday stuff..pfff |

It was just poor dealing with a heckler. But then again we don't know what was said in the first place.
The negroid gentleman should get a thickier skin at any rate. If he wants to play the racism card he can't start calling people crackers and white boys. |

Before Richard's outburst? If so I retract it. Perfect dealing with a heckler. Shows how ignorant some people are.

I think what he is asking is what was the remark from the audience member that caused such an outburst.

Bloody hell, we have a national sorry day now, you think someone could say that in public and not have it upset someone? I don't take offense to be called a cracker *** or white boy (although Michael Richards didn't like it!)- I don't even know what it implies to be honest, but there are historical racial ties to the word which obviously offends people. I don't know why black people call each other the name, I think maybe it's poking fun of the term like a cruel irony- probably why it doesn't sound as harsh coming from a fellow black person. Like calling someone fat when you're even fatter yourself......... There's too many arguments but it was wrong to do what he did. A true professional comic could have come up with a better response to someone "disturbing" his show- which ironically, they need to appear better by the ability to ad lib etc (it's always better when you go to these show and they poke fun at someone there, but there are lines that shouldn't be crossed) I remember going to one and the only two seats left were right in front of the stage (worst place to be at a comedy night) and I had all the jokes about what a good-looking girl was doing with an ugly bastard like me and all that stuff........ Anyway, I don't think Michael Richards will do many un-scripted shows from now on...... lol
