Do you know the definition of the word contempt?
That might be a handy bit of information to have to aid in the comprehension of my post. Just a thought.

hiu

If you really have a problem with racism you shouldn't be trying to make a point against some guy that used a few insults and look at the bigger picture, and people that are actually racist.

Just sayin'

What makes Michael Richards different from people that "actually are racist"?
Who says Michael Richards isn't "actually racist".

I think that a guy using tons of racial epithets and references to lynching towards a black man is a pretty clear sign of racism.

Urban Hat€monger ?

I`m aware of what you said.But eariler on you said this....

So in other words what your saying is if a black guy calls another black guy that in a arguement (and I have heard it happen) that it somehow doesn`t become a abusive term yet if a white guy does it`s racist.

And thats why i`m saying it`s a load of rubbish.

A black guy would not call another black in an argument a "******" in an attempt to belittle him.
You saying you have heard it happen is bullsh*t and I do not believe you. THAT is why I am saying your argument is "rubbish"

In the situation that a black man would call another black a ****** in an argument it would once again be in the same sense that he may use dude, man, or in your case "mate" "chap" or "lad" which white people also use in arguments.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in your last post, when you were again pointing out to me what post of mine you were referencing, you quoted the bit that I just referenced. When I showed you how what I said could be understood through the simple understanding of the word "contempt" you changed your mind and decided that you were ACTUALLY talking about a post that I made 3 pages ago? That doesn't make much sense, make up your mind.

Urban Hat€monger ?

I don`t agree with that but let me play devils advocate here...

Why wouldn`t they use it?

Because it has racist connections which was my original point.

The word "******" when used in contempt of another DOES have racist connections.
When used synonomously with "man" or "dude" it DOES NOT have racist connections.

A black person wouldn't use it in an attempt to belittle another black person simply because the word, (in a racial matter) is a blanket term for black people, which he would be. In saying it to belittle another he would belittle himself.

A situation like that would never arise which is why there is no need to decide whether or not it would be racism. It would never happen.

hiu

This is an isolated incident that he has apologized repeatedly for. It's not like he's a member of the NSM, who are really what people should be doing things about if they are so against racism.

He made one public apology in an attempt to save his broken career.

hiu

Oh wow. This guy must be such a bad guy. He apologizes about his actions. I be this guy goes home an puts a jump suit on so he can go and slay a few of dem black folk.
