Why is it that blacks can call each other the "n-word" but whites can't use it? I've heard similar language from comedians on Def Comedy Jam and there was no uproar.
Some comedians feel they can only be funny by being insulting/degrading/shocking. IMO, that just shows a lack of imagination. Too bad, George & Kramer were my favorites on Seinfeld. Sounds like Kramer's success came from the writers more than the actor.
True freedom of speech requires letting others speak no matter how offensive you personally find what they're saying. You know how I would show displeasure at what he said? If I saw that he was appearing near me, I'd write to the venue and tell them why I'm not going to buy a ticket. If I had tickets, I'd ask about getting them refunded. When the money stops coming in he'll censor himself or look for a different job.
