Ya, but it seems in Canada people can take those jokes with more of a grain of salt. We are a country with major multiculturalism, and I've seen just as many Canadian comedians make fun of East Indians, Native Indians, White people, Black people, and more.
I dunno what to say about it. Black comedians make fun of whites, Mexicans make fun of everyone, but let a white comedian say "nigg er" and they instantly become the white Satan. Granted, Richards (who I hate with a passion) went a little far...but I would say it would be the same reaction if it was Drew Carey and he did it just as a joke.
I do agree - that there is more freedom given to blacks - Indians or whatever when it comes to comedy, but I do not think that they honestly lash out in anger against someone. This was clearly a verbal 'hate' assault and had nothing to do with comedy. Kramer simply does not have the mind to create a fast, eloquent reply to a tough situation that is what makes comics great.
robin williams as an example would have made a black joke, but done it in such as way as not to offend or from being pissed off.
So fucking what? Turn on the Comedy Channel. Count how many times a day some nig says the word "cracker".
Chappelle would be the biggest offender when it comes to that. The weird part is, I find him extremely offensive (ok, not offensive...just unfunny) but I could (and have) watched Carlos Mencia all day long.

Yeah, I don't think it is a big deal. But he was pissed and getting the guys thrown out of the club for heckling him. He wasn't making a joke. I don't see that on Comedy Central ever.
Sadly, we live in a world where one side of the tracks involves hand guns and gang wars while the other side involves sensitive little teary eyed ninnies who complain about how their little feels get hurt at anything that might be remotely close to benig not politically correct.
For some reason, people can't be happy living somewhere in the middle... where we don't think death and destruction is normal and that we don't cry at a harsh word.... we need to be doing one or the other because someone somewhere has convinced us that that is how "reality" really is.
What the fuck are you talking abouit? Bill Cosby came from poverty and is one of the greatest black comedians of all time...
That's the thing about white sock wearing Busch beer drinking redneck crackas like JimtheFiend...As soon as somebody doesn't do the coon dance and use their wit, some dumbass says that they aren't black...
Everytime I run into a honkey-tonk like you in person, and physically intimidate them and mentally DESTROY them with my wit, the only thing left to come out of that cracka's mouth is that I'm not "really black", which is nothing but an excuse that they use to make themselves feel better for not being able to beat me.

Stop using racial slurs at me you fucking spearchucker.
its called positive discrimination in the uk you go for a job so does a black man you are slightly better for it the company is encouraged to hire the black guy. Its a fucking joke If I hired a white guy on the basis of him being white i would end up getting seriously sued

Try being a white guy in Vancouver Canada... you simply won't be hired no matter what your qualifications are.
Every job posted anywhere comes with the statement "looking to hire women or persons in a visible minority."

You know...thats a damn good point...and i'm pasty white and I have to agree.
There isn't a lot of room for variety in our stereotype of what a "real" black person is. At least not in this version of reality we seem to be on.
were whites persecuted, forced into slavery, tortured and murdered for 400 years in North America?
Even though none of them is alive today...
To be historically fair of course, Slavery continued in Brazil until after 1900, so why are you only mentioning NORTH America....
...and slavery had been going on in Africa when the whites got there...the slaves were sold to the whites by AFRICAN slave traders. Whenever there was a tribal war, slaves were taken and held. Later, when whites started showing up, the slave-holding tribes sold them some.
...and slavery is STILL going on in some areas of Africa today
...and by the way... Since African-Americans wish to claim the the Egyptians and their early civilizations were "African", then as a Jew I demand my reparations from African Americans for holding my people as slaves!!

Nope, but the Scots were by the English...No not in North America but in the UK. My point being is every race/religion whatever has had major hardships at one point by other races or religions. It does not matter if you were black, white, Oriental, whatever its happened to all.

thanks for the history lesson
and I said NA because that is where this incident took place
i know blacks have been used as slaves in other places as well....thank you for reinforcing my point

People don't realize whites were afraid to go past the beach. Blacks caught and sold other blacks to the slave traders. Slaves were held waiting for slave ships. The tribal slaughter continues to this day in Africa. Instead of selling their enemies they now just smack 'em with machetes.
Does anyone really think whites rowed ashore and went slave hunting? That would have been suicide.
What don't you people understand. Hateful diatribes with no attempt at humor are offensive. Off-color observations about cultural differences with an attempt at humor is art. This whole thread is another attempt at pity for white males (I am one) because we have such a challenge in life. The fact is, if you are a white male in the United States you have been born with economic and social advantages never seen in the history of the entire planet. Richards acted like a fucking racist idiot and no amount of screaming "it's a double standard," will alter this.
The reason it's not okay for white people to utter racial slurs in North America is because we are presently at the economic "top of the heap". From the top looking down, it ISN'T funny to make fun of the struggles and hardships non-white people have to face in this continent just trying to get ahead in today's world. But from the bottom looking up, it IS okay to poke a little fun. Besides, most of the white jokes are funny and somewhat true!
These jokes aren't really about race, they are about economic disparity.
