no, it's just that he's such a good black man impersonator!

I just don't think he was being that clever.

It's certainly a long way to go to sell the punchline "That's what happens when you interrupt the white man, don't you know?" But hey, teh kidz loves the "squirm comedy" right?

now you know how we feel

Oh, you don't like him either, eh?

"Actually in a hotel room over the weekend I caught Billy Crystal pretending he was a jass musician/Katrina refugee and making Louis Armstrong faces, it was wack as fuck."

he was making it up as he went along! that's why it's so excruciating. dude neds a script to be funny.

even more damning is that kramer used to be in an improv comedy duo with the whitest man alive:

Say what you want about Chris Rock, but he really helped out Bobby Hill when he played "Buddha Sack" in King of The Hill:

BOBBY: Hey, I've been working on some new material. Check it out. "White people think the 'hood is something on their sweatshirts." And "How come the cops always be pullin' me over? What's up with that?"
BUDDHA SACK: Bobby, let me give you a little constructive criticism: You're not black.
BOBBY: Oh. Okay.

That's really a small part of why it's excruciating.

BUDDHA SACK: I got something called freedom of speech. Ever heard of the first amendment? Thomas Jefferson be turning over in his grave right now, and the slave ladies on top!
HANK: Now, see here, Thomas Jefferson was a founding father! He designed and built his own house!

HANK: Excuse me, sir, I don't mean to criticize your lesson plan, but do you have a lesson plan?
BUDDHA SACK: You sayin' a black man can't put together a lesson plan? Well, here's my lesson plan: I ain't planning on teaching less'n you shut up!

O.J. Simpson Book, TV Special Canceled by News Corp. (Update1)

By Cecile Daurat

Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- O.J. Simpson's new book and television special were canceled by News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, who called the project ``ill-considered.''

The book ``If I Did It,'' where Simpson described how he would have murdered his wife and her friend Ronald L. Goldman, was to be released by ReganBooks, a publishing company owned by News Corp., on Nov. 30.

``I and senior management agree with the American public that this was an ill-considered project,'' Murdoch said today in an e-mailed statement.

Simpson was acquitted in the 1994 killings of his wife and Goldman. Family members of Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson spoke out against the book and TV show planned for the Fox broadcasting network when they were announced earlier this month.

``We are sorry for any pain this has caused the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown-Simpson,'' Murdoch said in the statement.

Class A shares of News Corp. fell 17 cents to $21.10 at 3:50 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. They had gained 37 percent this year before today.

Thanks for this thread today, guys. This is just the kind of madness I reside in a perpetual state of stokedness for.

hahaha i actually want to start arguing the things that stet and jaymc and Uri say that people here are arguing: that kramer is a consciously dyed-in-the-wool racist who has kept schtum for years and is so relentless and obsessive about, about his RACISM that he can never shake it from his soul

because it probably wouldn't be difficult

― songs and ballads of the bituminous miners (sanskrit), Monday, 20 November 2006 22:30 (nineteen years ago)

haha I have a friend w/ Tourette's who was involuntarily obsessed with that song, for like a year he was a twitching scatman impersonating machine

Kramer: "Bro's no good. Too ethnic."
Frank: "You got something better?"
Kramer: "How about the Mansiere?"
Frank: "Mansiere."
Kramer: "That's right. A brassiere for a man."

― Gerard (Gerard), Monday, 20 November 2006 22:31 (nineteen years ago)

all we need now is a racist Scatman Crothers caricature

For like 2 years there was a Scatman record on the wall of the local record store. I convinced the dude who worked there to take it down because if people didn't like Scatman for those two years, they won't like him now.

This is my favorite part:

"Once the word comes out of your mouth and you don't happen to be African-American, then you have a whole lot of explaining," Rodriguez told CNN. "Freedom of speech has its limitations and I think Michael Richards found those limitations."

I'm waaaaaaaaaaaay more offended by this statement than anything Cosmo said onstage.
