I've never been called a cracker as far as I can remember.

i've been called a cracker! there used to be (maybe still is?) an open air drug market at iowa and austin on chicago's wild wild west side. i used to walk home 2 blocks north and one night i was told "if you're not buying, just keep walkin' cracker".

it totally made my night.

I don't know what yr argument is bobby, but it doesn't seem like mine. I'm not defending him, and I'm not saying he can't be a racist twat.

Don't worry, that's all I'm saying. But, as several ILXors have noted recently, people love to jump all over me. So, if they can associate you with me in their minds, that's even better for their argument against you.

Happening once should be "more than makes [you] comfortable," so that doesn't really prove any kind of greater point, does it?

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:32 (nineteen years ago)

Happening once? Disingenuous or sheltered, I'm not sure which.

― Bobby Ganush (Uri Frendimein), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:33 (nineteen years ago)

UH did you bother to read what I actually wrote? I mean, I already know the answer to that, so I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Like I said, I lived up there as have several ILXors and I don't recall any one I know having trouble at all. It happening at all is more than anyone should be comfortable with, so stating it has happened more than you'd like it to is pretty worthless.

you know who could have sold kramer's ill-fated stab at shock-humor:

Yeah, that doesn't mean anything, either.

Jerry: "You didn't know smoking is bad for you?!" [it caused his face to look like a 'catchers mit']
Kramer: "Well... emfysima, birth defects, cancer yeah... but not this!"

― Gerard (Gerard), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:36 (nineteen years ago)

i've been called a cracker, too. a "dead cracker" no less. and in des moines! but still my teeth are in pretty good shape. i'm a survivor

"OH MY GOD THERE IS A NEGRO HECKLING ME SOMEONE CALL THE LAPD"

people would have been rolling in the aisles. gilbert should teach a class.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:36 (nineteen years ago)

Did Gilbert say that? He is hilarious.

― Bobby Ganush (Uri Frendimein), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:37 (nineteen years ago)

no, he didn't say that. just saying some people can get away with stuff cuz they are funny.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:38 (nineteen years ago)

i do think that kramer is a gifted physical comedian though.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:39 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, that's what I was saying. The first few times she told me about this sort of shit, I thought, "Oh, that's not too bad. I'm pretty comfortable with that." But, then, you see, after several times, I said, "Now hey wait a minute. This is starting to make me feel uncomfortable here!" Dummy.

― Bobby Ganush (Uri Frendimein), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:39 (nineteen years ago)

wtf is it with tmz getting all the racist (sorry if the use of that term offends any crackers) outbursts?

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, that was totally what I said, Carrot Top.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:42 (nineteen years ago)

Say, that's the line I just used on you. Good comeback.

― Bobby Ganush (Uri Frendimein), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

irrelevant

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:44 (nineteen years ago)

blount, you watch the Michigan-OSU game?

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:47 (nineteen years ago)

the dude i work with felt the Blakk Panthers were not radical enuff fo him in th 60's and I showed him th video and he said he wooda got sum of Kramers DNA on him sumwhere if he ever heard that shit in a club,he claimed he woulda balled up his car keys and hit him in th forehead.So this polite protesting on the way out is pretty minor by comparison to what coulda woken him up of his porsche induced racial biases.anyone who is as unfunny in person,a Mason,and just plain tweeked as Michael Richards hadda seen this one comin.Either that or his publicist had no more entrees into mainstream media left at his disposal.So perfectly timed to th 7th season dvd release party.

― dan bunnybrain (dan bunnybrain), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:48 (nineteen years ago)

@ work, missed most of it, heard some it sorta on the radio (radio dudes breaking in intermittantly to describe what's happened as much as they could without actually having rights to the game), got home in time to see lotta crackers in red streaming onto the field.

― j blount (papa la bas), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:51 (nineteen years ago)

vineyard h.s. MURDERED nantucket. fuck you, whalers!

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

I watched a few minutes of it through glass at the Verizon center before heading off to do my thing. I was supposed to be rooting for OSU, so I'm glad they won, I guess.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:52 (nineteen years ago)

i'm not a sports guy to begin with but i will never understand college ball. people say it's more "pure" and shit, i don't get it.

― geoff (gcannon), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:53 (nineteen years ago)

Ohio students need something to feel good about in their life.

― Beth S. (Ex Leon), Monday, 20 November 2006 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

I'm totally not a college ball fan, offered to root for them on behalf of someone else. But then didn't watch the game, whoops.

my friend hates chris rock-"Who's more racist, black people or white people? Black people. You know why? Cause we hate black people too! Everything white people don't like about black people, black people really don't like about black people. There's some shit going on with black people right now. It's like a civil war going on with black people. And there's two sides: there's black people, and there's niggas. And niggas have got to go."-chris rock

I can understand why YouTube comments threads would have people arguing about this, since YouTube comments threads seem to be populated exclusively by repulsive morons; I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring out why ILX would have to argue anything out about this.

P.S. I am really sick of people who are all like "black people call each other nigger all the time" -- this is a severely fucked-up perception based on people getting their information on What Black People Do All the Time pretty much solely from hip-hop videos and The Wire and shit, and I seriously wonder if people who say that honestly believe that the middle-aged woman in the next cubicle at work seriously goes home to her kids and says "what's up, my niggas, we're having Applebee's tonight!"

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 20 November 2006 21:09 (nineteen years ago)

from tmz.com-TMZ Comment 841. "I am offended by this not because I am defending the blacks but because Michael Richards is a kike, so how can he say anything about any other races. Jews are at the very bottom of the race ladder. They are dirty, cheap, ugly, and uses other races to get what they want, just as michael richards uses blacks to get laughs. And the dumb jew bastard needs to know his history because 50 years ago he would not have been lynching niggers because he would have been already been thrown in the oven with the other kikes to burn to death. Somebody needs to remind him that he is just a jew bastard so he does not matter.

I can't find any funny lynching pictures to post.Hmm.

― dan bunnybrain (dan bunnybrain), Monday, 20 November 2006 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

"what's up, my niggas, we're having Applebee's tonight!"

is it wrong to laugh at this?

― cutty (mcutt), Monday, 20 November 2006 21:12 (nineteen years ago)

Ooh, that Sacha Cohen posing as Borat posing as Ashley - what a crack-up!

― Maria :D (Maria D.), Monday, 20 November 2006 21:13 (nineteen years ago)

Still giggling over "...what's up, my niggas, we're having Applebee's". ALTHO I have heard the mother who lives next-door to me call her grown children "nigger", but granted, she is not a middle-class person who works in an office. Also, not to detract from the original point.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 20 November 2006 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

It's funnier if you imagine nabisco saying that to his roommates every night, actually

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Monday, 20 November 2006 21:14 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know if you guys know this, but if you listen to enough Hip Hop you begin to think using the N-word.

A brief (and completely true) example:

I am in Banana Republic, browsing their sale items when in my field of view two white guys rush over to the belt rack.

The thought verbatim that popped into my head was this:

"Niggas be buying belts!"

now I'm not about to go around voicing these kind of things, but that's the sort of context I meant...
