Bloody hell, we have a national sorry day now, you think someone could say that in public and not have it upset someone?

I don't take offense to be called a cracker *** or white boy (although Michael Richards didn't like it!)- I don't even know what it implies to be honest, but there are historical racial ties to the word which obviously offends people. I don't know why black people call each other the name, I think maybe it's poking fun of the term like a cruel irony- probably why it doesn't sound as harsh coming from a fellow black person. Like calling someone fat when you're even fatter yourself.........

There's too many arguments but it was wrong to do what he did. A true professional comic could have come up with a better response to someone "disturbing" his show- which ironically, they need to appear better by the ability to ad lib etc (it's always better when you go to these show and they poke fun at someone there, but there are lines that shouldn't be crossed) I remember going to one and the only two seats left were right in front of the stage (worst place to be at a comedy night) and I had all the jokes about what a good-looking girl was doing with an ugly bastard like me and all that stuff........

Anyway, I don't think Michael Richards will do many un-scripted shows from now on...... lol

i think that's pretty spot on.
