I don't think it was the fact that he was calling them n....'s that really offended them (hell, It's a greeting in ghetto language - 'sup ni..a' . Moreso the comment that 50 years ago they were hanging upside down from trees.

My ex-wife is Fijian Indian. If anyone called her a n.... I'd smash their teeth through the back of their skull. To most of the coloured people it's an offensive name and just because a small percentage of coloureds use the term doesn't make it right for others.

The apology is the funniest part of the whole thing. He got more laughs trying to say sorry.

There seemed to be alot of built up hate in Cosmo when he was yelling the N word to the audiance member. Really uncalled for in this day and age it wasn't like it was a simple joke calling his homeboy a N..... it semed to be straight out race hate. Move over soup nazi, theres a new nazi in town.

Not being there or seeing it happen means I can't comment on this actual occurance, but in general I find Americans can be a little over sensitive sometimes.

In the good old US we wouldn't be allowed to have a Dyno Wog :tease: .

You only have to watch Borat to see that unless someone holds up a signe to tell them to laugh, they don't really understand comedy, expecially sarcasim.

:spoton:

My sentiments and experiences exactly - humour is wasted on the Yanks.

All the same one should be smart enough not to make racist remarks in this day & age IMHO

Need to clarify that I have many wonderful friends in the US of A and I didn't mean to run Yanks down

although his remarks were 'overboard', the guy in the audience calls him a 'cracker' so if your going to berate kramer for racism, you better berate the bloke in the audience at the same time.

I think he was trying to do a 'bill hicks', but just couldnt do it well.
