What do you all think of Kramer now?

[Husky15]

So Kramer was the man spewing racial comments after he got dissed. I remember seeing my mother watching a video of this on the CNN website, I just wasn't really paying attention to who it was. I never really watched Seinfeld a lot, but when I did I got a good laugh, and I loved Kramer. But he was way too out of control. Any racist in my book is a low-life, and any racial jokes are in poor taste and can be very offending, even if they don't mean them. I knew someone who liked to crack the occasional racist joke and I did not find them funny at all.

But I have to agree with you on one thing, Valerie, I just do not get it that when white people use the "n" word, it's terrible, but when black people say it, it's not that bad. Okay, I do get it, but I don't think that it should be used by anyone. It's very disrespectful. And I think that when black people call themself by the "n" word or their friends, they are disrespecting themself.

We are all people, it doesn't matter our skin color or our nationality. We all bleed, we all see, hear, feel, hurt, think. We all breathe. Racism is one of the stupidest things.

Racism is ugly, period. It's one of if not the most assinine forms of ignorance on earth.


That having been said, while this is the dog house, I don't think some of the language in this thread, either typed or implied, is needed. Dog house or not, this is a family oriented site.

I just want to say something in regards to the couple comments about why it's ok for a black person to say the "n" word, but, not a white person. I think it's not even that separated. I think it's among friends, if that makes sense. I think if a black man said it to another black man that he doesn't know or if he said it in a negative way, it would be offensive. I also think that if a white man who is friends with a black man says it to their black friend, it's usually ok, too. I know that's the experiences I've had when I've heard that word. But, I also will say this...it's ok if I give my brothers and friends crap, but, I'll be damned if I'm going to sit back and watch anyone else give them crap, even if it's the same type of crap. I hope that makes sense. I think it's more of a comradery thing. I dunno if I'm getting my point across at all.
