Default So.....racist or not

For all those who say Michael Richards is racist for saying the "N Word," Damon Wayons got fined and banned from a comedy club for saying the "N Word."

Where all you PC people now? Why isn't Wayons a racist? (And no I don't think he is, but according to you guys earlier, he should be)

But Damon Wayans is black and basically grew up around people saying it which is totally different. You wouldn't expect to hear it from M. Richards. 1, he's white and 2, he didn't grow up near a ghetto. That's what I think. You know when it's right and when it isn't!

See that's the point. Can only people of African decent say the "N-word?" What if you grew up in that type of neighborhood, then can you? What if you were white, but adopted by a black family, is it OK then? What if you are black, but grew up in a white neighborhood and never experienced "the word", are you allowed to use it?


My point is people are so incredibly PC nowdays that it actually gives power to those people. Then if they don't like things, they sue. America is turning into a facist country because of all the lawyers and PC people. You need to remember that this country was basically founded by people who didn't like the freer thinking religious sector of England and if the people who live in America didn't like it, they forced their strict views of religion and life on them.

STOP THE MADNESS!!!!

I just hate the double standards.. Black people can have entire comedy acts making fun of white people, but if a white guy EVER made a black person joke, he would be shunned by society.. Gay pride parades.. Ever see a Straight-pride parade? People with "Brown/Black Power" stickers on their cars.. They're considered to be proud of their heritage.. If I had a "White-Power" sticker on my car, I'd be killed on the road.. We, as caucasions really have to watch what we say/do.. We have ZERO forgiveness..

I agree the double standard has to go. I also think all the PC stuff has to go. Furthermore I think that we need to kill off 50% of all the lawyers in the world.

Because Damon didn't say, "50 years ago we'd hang you and stick a fork up your ass."

That's why. The aforementioned is almost worse than the use of the N word. That's what outraged me.

The context is different for sure. However, why ban a word entirely? Why not go to all the books with the N-word and burn them?

I understand exactly what you're saying with the whole black/white power thing. Now for GZire....i've heard a few white people on comedy acts say it and it was ok. Like I said, you just have 2 know how 2 use it and also grow up around it. We all know when you're using it with hate and discrimination (M. Richards), and using it as a joke and think nothing of it. That's all I'm trying to say. White people make fun of black people on stand up but it's not racist, just like black people make fun of white people but not in a racist way. Now when you say something like we had you upside down a few years ago, that's something different. Really fk'ed up sh*t to say.

Certain comedians are never going to use that word again. I just think its funny that it took one white guy for this to happen. Its a terrible word and no one should use it. Black people shouldn't use it and white people shouldn't use it. You need that consistancy.
