What is said and what is meant are two seperate things.

A white man says the word ******, he is a racist.

A black man says the word ******, he is not.

I'm not condoning the usage (this goes for ***got too) but I'd be lying if I said I'm against their use.

And why isn't anyone saying anything about the black guy in the video calling Kramer a cracker-ass mother****er? huh? Oh that's right, it's because he's black and must be oppressed so we should let him do what he wants.


**** political correctness. honestly I ****ing hate it and it hold humanity back so much.

Well I hadn`t heard that so if thats true then all he did was disrespect the guy in the same way this guy disrespected him.
Which means that my original stance of not labelling the guy a racist on one isolated incident was the correct thing to do.

Shame really that out of all the news stories covering this I didn`t read one about the black guy making racist comments.Maybe somebody should complain to the campaign for racial equality.

Here is the full video. Watch the whole thing.

You will never see anything about the comments made back to him. I really want to know what was said to piss him off so bad though.

how so? not being able to call each other names? if you feel so strongly about it, i suggest you go in tha hood and call someone a nigger or a wetback....
there is a difference in using the word "nigga" as a synonym for "man" or "dude" and "nigger" which was used by the man in question...

also, the black man is not a public figure therefore noone cares if he's a racist or not ( probably is )

I understand that there are meanings attributed to certain words, but you wouldn't catch me dead in the "hood" because honestly 99% of people there are garbage. They have oppurtunity and throw it away to become "gangstas". Those people do not have any worth. And have you noticed that they're the only ones who say nigga? I don't call my friends crackers.

**** ignorance. And **** MTV.
