Wow, just wow. I read about this and heard about it on the radio a lot so I thought I'd scope it out and see just how "racist" he was. Surprisingly I can't find what he did justifiable. Usually when a white person snaps on a black person I can find just-cause for the fact that under most curcumstances the black person followed the "nigger" stereotype and got called out on it by a white person. I have called a black man a nigger before and gotten flack for it, and I am by no means a racist person. I have dated three black guys, a lot of my friends and co-workers are black and one of my future brides maids will be a black woman and she knows me very well and knows I am sure as hell not a racist. The actual definition of the word nigger is: a person of any race or origin regarded as contemptible, inferior, ignorant, etc. So this black man that I called a nigger at one point in time was being ignorant and acting like an uneducated fool and I said, "Maybe if you stopped acting like a nigger people would treat you better!" I almost got fired for this, but I managed to keep my job. There is a different between black people and niggers. Niggers are black, white, asian, mexican, whatever that are just plain ignorant uneducated slackers that have no concept of whats going on in the real world, they live how they want and think their lives are miserable due to someone else "putting them down" or "standing in their way" a proper black person like my friend Kim for example wouldn't use such nigger excuses she would solve the issue on her own or with someone elses guidance and over come whatever obsticle was in her way placing no blame on no one due to race or background. Niggers do the opposite. I've met plenty of white niggers just the same and it's sick. I'm not afraid to use the term because I live and work in Benton Harbor for one and for another I am educated enough to know the true meaning of the word and I do not take offense to it if it is used properly, now back to the Kramer vid. He did it wrong. I know the black fellows in the balcony were ragging on him for his comedy acts and being disruptive to the performer, but saying, "50 years ago you would be hanging upside down from a tree with a fucking fork up your ass" to them out of the blue says clans man to me. Sorry but it does. Reguardless of their behavior that instigated it, some of those things he said were truely unnessesary. I don't want to sound hypacritical but, really what I said to the black man I was waiting on at work and what he said to the black man that was interrupting his performance I'd have to say the way I put it was far better than his. I didn't swear, I wasn't yelling my head off, I was very straight faced and said what I felt needed to be said. Then when I got flack for my comment I took out a dictionary and handed it to my boss and said, "that word originally had nothing to do with race, look the word up in the dictionary any one of any color or background can be a shiftless ignorant moron otherwise defined as a nigger!" He said I'm brilliant and he likes me but to be white and to use that word in our restaraunt that is located amoung 2,500 some odd black people is not going to be taken lightly considering most black people only know that word in a derogatory sense. So I had to appologize to them personally and excuse myself for the rest of the evening. Insanity, the racism thing shouldn't even be an issue anymore, let the racism end with Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King they did wonders for the black community and since then successful black people have come out of the woodwork more than ever, so why can't black people move past it and stop blaming the white people and white people stop blaming blacks for the shitty neighborhoods, crime, and the bad economy? I suppose they can't stop because then they'd have to stop blaming the chinese and japanese for the violence in video games that corrupts our children and they'd have to stop blaming the Iraqis for the high gas prices and on and on and on. If everyone liked each other we wouldn't have much news to share with the world and we would be bored without bloody video games and violent movies, as humans we all share the same trait, we end up getting off on carnage and blame and hate and it's sad. It's really sad.

P.S. If I offended anyone who read this message me before you go off on me on my blog and we can chat about your reasons and my reasons for what has been said. No need to turn around and post an angry blog in distaste towards my blog, no need for a Blog war, just use those finger tips and that brain mixed in with the keyboard in front of you to just talk it out. You know where I am. Peace.
