When it comes to the word "nigger", it comes down to this. Whether you are using it in a racist way or not. When black people call each other "nigger" they are using it in a friendly way. Sometimes they use it as how others may say "man", or "dude", or "dawg", or "bro", or however many people say. For example I will say "Hey man, hows it goin. Accept they substitute it with "nigger". In my opinion it is only racist if you use it in a racist way like Kramer did. The majority of the time white people say "nigger" its in a racist way which is why whenever a white guy says that controversy breaks loose. It all depends on how you use it and what context you use it in.

I have black friends and I say "nigger" sometimes and it doesn't bother them at all because I do not use it in a racist way. It all depends on how you use it and what context you use it in.

..i see what you mean but I thought black people used the word so it should not have that negativ meaning...overuse it in a way so you take the meaning and the power away from the word...to me words like afro americans are more negativ cause it places a whole group....

He said they would be hanging upside down with forks in their asses didn't he? Anyway, Richard's response was extreme, although those people were being complete tools he should have the wherewithal to realize that he's on stage. He's supposed to be a pro, and he certainly didn't act like one.

Forgive me for going off the topic, but I had a thought. Would everyone be as up in arms if "Kramer" had insulted a group of fat girls?

[Spec7ral]

what we should really be talking about are the dustin diamond and tom sizemore sex tapes. Now THERE is some celebrity fun.

Oh and Kramer should have sex with fat girls, not insult them.

I think the whole thing has been blown out of proportion.
