It's really friggen sweet.
Did anyone else feel kinda sorry for Mr. Richards when the guy called him out about his acting career?
Of course, I guess the proper rebuttal would have been "I'M RICH, BITCH!" instead of QQing off stage.
Um... no? He doesn't need to do anything else. You know how much he made from Seinfeld?Originally Posted by -Omni
Hence the proposed "I'M RICH, BITCH" retort...
Actually it's Latin for the color Black, which is spelled niger but pronounced exactly the same as the derogatory word.Originally Posted by Axil
lmao.. Have you seen how other ppl in the media are talking about this? You'd think the guy killed a baby and ate it infront of its mother. as long as you place a taboo on a word it remains just that, a taboo. theres far worse things in this world than words
I don't think he's right for saying those things, it's still horrible. However, I think people that heckle anyone on the stage are complete morons. It still takes alot to get up in front of a group of people you don't know and entertain. If he's doing shitty, just leave. I think that the people that were heckling Richards deserve an apology unless they were willing to apologise to him. Just my two cents.
Wow...
OFN I know, but that's still pretty tame compared to how George Carlin handles hecklers.

I had a dream a few months ago that I was performing stand-up in L.A. and a mexican guy in the audience was heckling me. After a little bit, I stopped my routine, turned to the guy like I couldn't understand his language (he was heckling me in English) and said "I...'m sorry sir...I...don't want any oranges...?"
If someone is heckling a standup comedian, the gloves are fucking off. No holds should be barred in non-televised standup anyway, but if you're asking for it, be prepared to get it, and don't go crying to the media when some comedian that you were heckling calls you a nigger. Sure, Kramer's delivery of his retort wasn't funny, but be mad about that, not what he said while he was not being funny. If I'm paying a $15 cover and having a 2-drink minimum, I don't want "calling black hecklers in the audience niggers" to be off the table as part of the entertainment I'm paying to see. Nothing should be off the table. It should just be funny.
I was listening to the radio today and they started talking about this. Apparently, the black guys are attempting to sue Richards. I don't see how this is possible, seeing as it's freedom of speech, but they were on cnn with a lawyer or something. Radio show also had Jackie the Jokeman from Howard Stern on and he was on Richards' side.
Can they even afford a lawyer, or are they all throwing themselves out there?Originally Posted by Anyway
The apology on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5eZqtb1hZw
i think it's retarded. You heckle someone on a stage, you might as well just sit there and have a spot light above ur head saying "please fuck with me, and make me look like a stupid idiot"

lol
But seriously what the fuck ever. I dont see what the problem is, the heckler got heckled. People are going to throw a fit because the word nigger was used? Boo hoo, fucking niggers.

To be honest, I really did not find that offensive at all...Instead of calling the guy a complete fucking moron he called him a "complete fucking moron who is black" boofuckinghoo. Not a good word and he should stay away from it, but the outrage is so fake, PC, and so fucking ridiculous. Racism cries here are retarded and unfound...omg I said retarded, I'm such a biggot.
I don't understand why people make such a big deal with it. Racist exist, but it's not what you see in that video. It's just 2 people who say bullshit cause they are pissed.
I think calling someone fat is worse than nigger, chink or anything like that. How could you take a racial slur seriously or a retarded comment directed at your race is beyond me.
He doesn't have enough finesse to deal with hecklers. He could have gotten away with calling that guy a nigger, but he would have had to be a lot more smooth about it. He went way over the top with it, maybe that is his style, but entertainers do need to cater to whatever will get them an audience.

Kramer's career in freefall after fresh claims of racism
The career of actor Michael Richards, famed as Seinfeld's wacky neighbour Kramer, took a further nosedive today as fresh details of his racist comments came to light.
Richards launched a furious rant at two black hecklers during a standup show in Los Angeles last weekend.
At the request of pal Jerry Seinfeld, Richards later appeared via satellite on the David Letterman Show to apologise.
But he has now been accused of making anti-Jewish comments during a stand-up routine as well.
Richards allegedly lashed out at Jews during performance earlier this year, yelling at one audience member: "You're a f***ing Jew. Your people are the cause of Jesus dying."
Carol Oschin, who was at the show, said: "We didn't know if this was part of the act. He was getting very (verbally) violent, very agitated."
