Oh no don't bite the hand that feeds.

But he has now been accused of making anti-Jewish comments during a stand-up routine as well.

Richards allegedly lashed out at Jews during performance earlier this year, yelling at one audience member: "You're a f***ing Jew. Your people are the cause of Jesus dying."

prolly bullshit. people are just taking shots now

 

[krunchykrome]

It's probably true, although now since he's under alot of pressure and publicity, a lot of old minor incidents are gonna come to light making him seem like the devil.

Kickin' em while their down, that's the American Way.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

[BuckNaked]

<Jackie Chiles> That's totally inappropriate. It's lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!<Jackie Chiles>

Yea, I do to, but you can't just start using certain words to just anybody. There's a certain comfort level that has to be reached before you can talk like that.

Isn't he Jewish himself? Thought I heard that.

It's interesting that this (and possibly other) incident never made the news before. Probably because people thought it was no big deal at the time.

 

[krunchykrome]

wrong thread

 

[Kilim]

Oh man, Oh wow. A COMEDIAN made offensive comments about race, religion and culture! Gee, who da thunk it?

Oh man, Oh wow, A COMEDIAN went too far?!!!??!?!? Well, we can't have that. When I go to a comedy show I expect a civil discourse on Shakespeare, not offensive jokes.

Yes, Kramer went too far!

Yea, people are gonna start digging around for any dirt on this guy and that girl he called a "wh@re" in high school in gonna resurface to tell the world what happened to her.

The past always catches up with you. He's getting exactly what he deserves.

The man made remarks he's said sorry..Who cares!

The guys heckling him were also making racial slurs, I don't see anyone upset about that.

You'd be upset too if you were black. Sorry is just a convenient word that may or may not be genuine. I'm willing to bet that he apologized because he wanted to save his career, not because he gave a damn about the African-Americans. Instead of seeing it from your point of view. Try to see it from that of the victims.

 

[FoBoT]

i blame Kramer for Global Warming and Hurricane Katrina

 

[Jeff7]

If they are the cause of Jesus dying, isn't that a good thing? I mean, isn't a big part of Christianity the death and resurrection of Christ? Can't have a resurrection without a death.

The persons that were heckling him were also using racial slurs:roll:
But, I suppose that's alright, since they probably aren't famous:roll:

I'm black. I don't care. The whole incident amuses me.

Seriously, it was out of line, but who the f*ck cares. People get called those types of names everyday, but since Kramer has a bit of money, it suddenly injured somebody emotionally. The black people (I assume they were black) in the video didnt make themselves look much better as they called Kramer a "Cracker a$$ white honkey", or something like that.
