Kramer snaps

Matt Lauer, who I find entertaining but pretty cloying, brought up the point that as terrible as Richard's outburst was - wasn't it free speech. And one of the two guys said "I think free speech needs to have a limit".

I find that infinitely more offensive than someone screaming racial slurs.

Offensive (kind of racist in playful manner):

Spoiler:

Hey! Everyone jump the bandwagon. The double-standard of this word is gay already, but being like "I've been called nigga by a white man so that gives me the right to sue!"... I swear they are just making the image blacks look worse (or up to sterotype). It's almost as bad as the Wendy's lady.

"And one of the two guys said "I think free speech needs to have a limit"."

Further proves their stupidity and the idea that they probably DESERVED that outburst.

You know I'm Chinese, and white people slammed us sorta back in the day. Sure it wasn't slavery, but it was indeed opression... yet we fucking got over it.

God. How long will (the majority of) blacks ride slavery? Be more Jewish, please.

BTW I'm no racist, although I get fucking frustrated sometimes when I see people from all ethnic groups ride the sterotypes cause they don't have half a free mind.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think the problem isn't Minion but the fact that you are all kids (and yes I'll name names here, Deni, Lehah, Lurker) and are still moved by words, like nigger. Grow up. Any sophisticated, educated person will be able to take a racial slur, and just brush it aside. You just look down on those people who have to stoop so low... that's about it. You don't take the time to make an argument of it, or to blow it up. Who gives a shit if they are close minded? It's not our job to save ever single damn person. I think Minion is coming from that perspective "above".

Words have power man, but words like this... only move idiots who can be provoked by such childishness.

And you really don't need an education for this stuff unless you grew up in a closed closed closed white town with your parents constantly reminding you of white power. It is legit to make a study of it, and to analyze outcomes of people, but it really is something you develope with personal expereince... and you know it.

But back on topic, if you were heckled by a few black guys I bet you'd have the phrase "fucking niggers" crossing your mind. Mike just had the balls to say it... it's about damn time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Actually, thanks. You just made something big click for me You're right in the sense that word has so much image and hype, that if he threw that word out so willingly that is just asking for it. I suppose he could have just been like "GET THE FUCK OUT." Hmm... maybe I should rethink.

Not directed toward you, but in my experience with age comes wisdom... for SOME people...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
