i think it's embarrasing for those poeple who actually laughed at him at first.
anyway i doubt he was angry at the whole race. more like to those two guys who hackled him.

anyway the words seem a really strange thing. ok so you are not supposed to say black people but african american. and how do you call a black man in europe then? african european? or does each country have it's own "african"?
we used to have such nice word (IMO) which meant the guy who came overseas. but then they said the words is insulting. WTH? i meqan it was a very polite word 100 years ago.

same goes for gipsies. the are Roma, right? so does that mean the gipsy kings are insulting someone? they should be Roma kings. anyway same for this word. it was a nromal word to describe certain enthnic group, but then people started using it when they should on soccer judges. so suddenly it's an insulting word. ?!?!?!?!?

but the funny thing is most slavic people have actually very insulting word for germans - we call them "mute people" - "Nemci", "Njemci", "Niemci". And their country is "muteland" to us. but that the official word for them. no one finds that offensive, no one seems to be bothered by that fact... not even the germans. weird.

point is words really don't matter that much. especially if people don't really mean them, but say them in some emotional outburst. Kramer just got pissed of. it just happens that the guys harrasing him were black people.

moreover did you notice how no one seems to be bothered that they call him "white boy"? and that is also racist. because of the "white" word.

Spanish speakers seem to be able to converse with them just fine. Hell, the Philippines even has a region called Negros and it's not even black.

So uhm it's OK that every second word on MTV is n1gga(damn censor) and bitch, or "I'm gunna shoot your white behind", but this causes such a havoc? I mean sure it's wrong to be racist but I'm positive if it were other way round it would be tolerated.

In Spanish it's the same word for the black colour and for black people, there's no other words such as "n3gro" or "n1gger". In fact "n3gro" is the Spanish word for the black colour, although likely Americans took it from the Portuguese but it's the same. Well words accumulate a history of their use and you can't reverse that.

What the heck do you mean about me personally? Please elaborate. I happen to have one thing called empathy, which makes me experiment to some extent the feelings of other people. So when I watch Kramer having such a horrible time I feel bad myself, even if he were as damn racist as the Ku Klux Klan and Malcolm X or not, I didn't discussed it. I'm not the kind of person who enjoys seeing other people having a bad time or making fools of themselves, sorry.

Thank you MDesigner for hosting this up ... I was looking for the apology. It's ironic how if a white man uses the N word, he has to apologize and is greatly hated, yet when a black man uses it, it's OK.

One of the comments on the apology video. JUst an interesting thought...

Nope the people in audience. first they laughed, after a while they laughed less, and finnally they started saying OMG, OMG. strange how the same thing was funny for them at first but then they perceived it as not funny at all.

i completelly understand the guy. he had a bad day and it just happens to be two blackman spoiling it even more.
