Kramer is not a racist. I've seen many episodes where he had black, Cuban, Chinese, you name it friends.

Stand up comics have a tough gig. If some uppity ****** starts heckling them then you can't blame them for calling them on the color of their skin.

That's disgusting.

But did you have to address this just to Billy? The rest of us care about this stuff too, you know. :D

Clary knows that me and the big man upstairs are like this...

:Hug2:

..so my prayers are a little more impactful that the average human.

And Michael Richards needs all the help he can get.

What a hump.

In fact, I don't think I'm even going to pray for him. I could care less.

So, in closing, Clary was correct to address it to me in a prayer abilty sense, but as of yet I am unmotivated to help him.

I look forward to hearing his apology and then I'll reevaluate.

Thank you.

Apparently he apologized via satellite on Letterman, which coincidentally had Jerry already booked for the night. So obviously Michael orchestrated this whole thing to get some much needed talk show face time...

blacks shouldnt be using it amongst themselves either.

yes. and while we're outlawing objectionable speech, we should probably go ahead and outlaw objectionable thoughts, too.

it's such an objectionable phrase that we ourselves, as a society, should stop using it.

no govt pressure, just based on our own caring and understanding of the connotations and implications of the word.

Ahhh...the RZA & Nas.

Oddly, I now almost never use the word save for when I'm drunk with my drinking crew (as opposed to drunk by myself) which is mostly girls, none of whom are black, which adds to the comedic value in my opinion.
