Mr. Ed was funnier than Seinfeld.
Three’s Company was the greatest sitcom ever.

Ok I’m always hearing disgruntled blacks talk of being held back by a RACIST…WHITE …opressive society …I don’t buy this line of horse crap , Because what I’ve seen of the people making these claims is a character no different than the average lazy white person …The only difference being it’s not politicaly incorrect to say the white is just plain…LAZY . But for the lazy Blacks it’s not P.C. to say you are just lazy , So instead it becomes society that is to blame namely …A WHITE…RACIST…SOCIETY .
This is my opinion ,and it’s based not on what I’ve heard ,But rather what I’ve personaly seen over many years . No it’s not what floats the boats of those that want to beleive they aren’t resonsible for their own actions ,or that their current position in life is due to not working hard enough or at all , But rather a “RACIST SOCIETY”

Where do you live?
I often notice when someone is trying to shove ideology or loosely based opinions down others’ throats they usually have ulterior motives for doing so.
You are packaging your disgruntle and anger in a misrepresentation of what you think. Do you really care if you think “blacks complain about racism”, I am sure there is more to it and you than just that, just be direct with your argument instead of trying to drive home a bankable point.
Taran had a fantastic point making note of the Individuality rewarded to the majority versus the collectivity given to the minority. One broad stroke.
Based on the fact that we are all socialized, and the fact that things are not equal most caucasians would either say or think the same things. European Americans know that, that is a weak spot and a position of power and in a verbal argument like a physical morale and ethics seem to be thrown out. His reaction is common to that of most of Americans and the world. His apology was equally pathetic.
I guess if I want my argument to match yours I should stop using the words “most, some, a few” and just say “all”, lol.

What is your point though?
I mean honestly it’s just as easy to post modern day pictures of the many hate groups in America or of white serial killers or go back circa 1920’s in the South and post pictures of families gathered watching blacks being hung from trees…what is your point?
To show that there are people from various races who are dumbasses? That’s not news. Is there a certain attitude bread within American Ghettos where the destruction of the family and of social structure and poverty occur, it’s not a news flash friend.
You are attempting to judge a groups of people who are linked based on what society deems as being similiar as a collective force.
I am sure your desired reaction from posting the videos would be, “Holy crap, they are out of control, we see your point now buddy!”.
You are creating a schism in your argument, you are stating that there is no racism and no judgments based on race , creed, social status, and that you hold no bias feelings. Then you draw a preference of posting videos of “Blacks Gone Wild”. Ok, genius. Like I said if you just let it all out and be honest then you can have a guaged debate.
What does this really have to do with racism? I can find plenty of african-american comics that are openly racist against whites.
Has anyone considered the idea of fighting words?

Sure, there’s a double standard when it comes to race and humor. I don’t think anyone can debate that.
The more important question is “Who cares?”
So the real question, that nobody has asked is… how much does Richards bench?
I’m guessing not a lot, but you never know, that kind of intensity and anger seems to indicate a very active CNS. He might have great functional strength.

No those videos were not posted to suggest that this is the black race as a collective . I posted those videos to illustrate the class of blacks that I beleive to be the ones that blame their troubles on “SOCIETY” .
The one video was also posted to visually illustrate how the “N” word is commonly used among young blacks as a way of greeting ,and adressing each other in casual conversation , and seems to hold no real deep meaning of “OPRESSION” as stated by an earlier poster. I point this out ,because when an earlier poster basicly said it’s no big deal for a black to utter the word CRACKER , but it’s a real bad thing for a person to say nigger ,because of a deep rooted sense of opression tied to the word , Well I don’t see the ties of deep rooted senses of opression in the word with regards to young blacks ,as clearly illustrated by the way they use it to conversate wit each other in casual conversation , So calling a young black the “N” word is no worse than a black person calling a white person a the “C” word .
As to the actual topic of the thread regarding MR. Richards …I never condoned the actions I saw in the tape ,As from what I saw he was harassing the people in the crowd , However I never saw what lead up to the point of his out burst ,so maybe there was some instigating that provoked his out burst . However what lead to this argument was a poster basicly saying only blacks have a right or real reason to be offended by racial slurs ,as they are the only ones who have been the victims of opression and discrimination ,well I don’t see it this way, there you have how this argument started .

Just like a bad politician, you make your judgements on who is yelling the loudest(which is usually a small percent)or what you see in movies and television.
Every culture and society has people that embarrasses the masses. (You are currently embarrassing your own)
Look beyond your stereotypes and see what each culture is doing as a whole.
As a whole there has been a huge increase of minorities in colleges and a huge increase of minority business owners in the last couple of decades. It will eventually trickle down to their children and so on and so on.
I would call that taking responsibility.
You see a dozen minorities who are lazy and classify the whole group as lazy.
I see millions of minorities working their asses off and not taking hand outs to make better lives for themselves and their children.
Try looking for some good in cultures other than your own. It’s really not hard to find.

In none of my posts do I single out the black society as a whole .What I do make refernce to is the fact that the majority of blacks that blame society for their actions ,and financial situations instead of themselves are no different than white trash ,but they use society as their argument for their situation .I never claimed this to be all blacks I claimed this to be the GHETTO blacks , and these are the ones that use the racism card to justify their position in life rather than taking self responsibilty for their own actions .

Didn’t you render yourself irrelevant like three pages ago?
Yeah…
Thought so.
Sharman, hang it up, you’ve already cemented your reputation as a low brow bigot, no sense in reminding everyone.
B.
Kramer’s rapping now…
Now the situation became a whole lot sadder as the two hecklers have retained the services of high-priced lawyers and want to be compensated.
What’s more they want to meet with Richard and go before a retired judge and have him suggest a proper compensation. If he refuses then he will, in the words of the lawyer, “face the consequences”.
I doubt that they managed to get anything out of him if they sued, as offensive as it might have been it’s still constitutionally-protected, free speech… I don’t think that slander would even apply in this case.
But good going guys, way to turn any given situation into a potential pay day (we’re so offended that only money could make us feel better). It reminds me of the Dave Chappelle sketch of what would happen if the US government paid the black people (the descendants of slaves anyhow) reparation.
