I think people are being way to quick to judge on this. Everyone sees Michael Richards
saying alot of shit,but the cam wasnt turned on to see what the hecklers were saying/doing to get him so pissed off in the first place.
It doesn't matter what they were doing. I'm more than certain they were being a$$hole jerkoffs, but it doesn't excuse K-K-Kramer.
A very narrow and choicy way to view something.
I don't think so in this case. There's more to judge by the audience's reaction. They didn't feel it was a proportional response, I didn't either from what I saw. He blew his f*cking top off like a madman. He's dysfunctional and we got to see it on full uncensored display here.
Anyway, the facts are in from others at this point, so it's not the narrow view you make it out to be any longer. The hecklers were loud, obnoxious, and he didn't like being interrupted by it. Most comics find creative ways to deal with hecklers telling them, "You ain't funny," etc. K-K-Kramer found his way. A racist way.
Also,while it was horrible and vile(and sadly amusing) to see him break down like that,you have to keep in mind that sometimes people snap,and they use the lowest,most horrible under the belt things they can say to try to lash back,before even thinking what they are saying.
Sure, but what he said here in particular was despicable and completely unacceptable. If it was just the n-word (dumb black rappers love using that themselves), it'd be one thing. But he went further, alluding to a racist/violent past and how these two black dudes would've been dealt with. I don't think you can defend him by suggesting he wasn't thinking through exactly what he was saying. He was specific. He might've had that card to play in his defense if he was drunk or high, but that wasn't the case here. Even if he was drunk, some would simply say, "In wine, there is truth" to suggest the alcohol merely helped uncover thoughts that are normally kept private.
And for what its worth,its not like the hecklers didnt lash back with "f*cking cracker-ass motherf*cker" and "f*cking white boy".
I hate/despise black racists too. Meet a lot of 'em in Chicago.
It should also be noted the hecklers,Frank McBride and Kyle Doss,are both denying anything they did,and they are seeing cash signs,planning to sue over this. Only in America can you sue for being called something after heckling. They are being represented by Gloria Allred,a complete joke of a attourney,who sues anyone and everyone over the stupidest shit.
She sued the Boy Scouts of America for not letting girls in. She sued K-mart for having a boys and girls toy section. She chooses easy victoms to sue. She tries to get quick cash and tries to stay in the media as much as possible over the stupidest cases. Im so surprised she hasnt been banned from practising law in certain states yet.
Its a complete joke. All of it.
They did admit that during and after their seating they were being loud and that they heckled him with, "You ain't funny, etc." in an interview along with that piece of trash lawyer, Gloria Allred. I was so aghast that this succubus of a lieyer somehow found her way into this... Just infuriating. Here we find agreement. These two chumps are looking for a payday, and yeah, it is hypocritical given the "cracka" comments. However, their actions don't change what we now know is in K-K-Kramer's heart as unfortunate as it is.
For that matter,hes not hiding,or trying to deny what hes done,and hes been pretty forthcoming about talking about it.
It's called damage control.
Im pretty reserved on this,because I wasnt there to see what happened before he broke down,
You actually think what he said might just be justifiable/understandable if you had seen what the hecklers were doing?? Pffft.
and Im pretty damn sure its not easy to get on nationwide tv and admit to the things he said and did. Im sure that was a very humbling experience in and of itself. he could just as easily got on a plane and flew to a island till it all blew over and was forgotten about.
Again, it's called damage control.
And its not like hes doing this to save his career,for money,ect... because the guys rich off his ass,he doesn't need to work,ever,and he turns down roles,turned down the role for Munk for christ sake, he may actually honestly feel bad for what he did.
I dunno about all that. I loved the character Kramer and I can understand not wanting a final conclusion being made on him as an insane bigot, which is what he appears as on that video, but it's gonna be pretty f*cking hard to dig your way out of that. Whatever we may all decide at the end of the day, he's never gonna be looked at the same again.
Plus I'd like to add f*ck those two black shit-suckers for trying to sue over this, what a couple of f*cking pussies. I f*cking HATE gloria alred almost as much as I hate the ACLU, they all need to be banned from the legal system.
You don't hate the ACLU (aka, American Criminal Liberties Union) and trash like Gloria Allred as much as I do... I guarantee you that. Now see, I knew there was a reason I took a liking to ya.
