HOLLYWOOD - Enraged Jamie Foxx has threatened to physically harm former Seinfeld star Michael Richards if the pair ever meet after the comedian stunned America with a racist rant during a recent stand-up show.
Richards has publicly apologized for remarks he made about two African-American hecklers during a performance at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood on Friday night--but that's not enough for Foxx.

The Oscar winner, who was once a mainstay of the Los Angeles comedy circuit, admits he was particularly offended by Richards' remarks.

He says, "When I see him, it's on. I'm not going to let him get away with it."

"If I'd have been in the audience he would've had to put his dukes up. He probably should go get a private island somewhere, cause if I see him..."

Alrighty then.

Sounds like Richards has a lawsuit should Foxx "touch him" since he already made verbal threats. LOL

Oh thank God!

I was wondering when Jaime Foxx was going to say something about this!

And what is that going accomplish? Jamie Foxx is Ugly and retartded

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Wow!! One celebrity stalked by another celebrity!! What's this world coming to?

ohno:

This is the kind of idiocy that i hate---- someone says something that one person doesnt like, so they think that physical violence is an acceptable reaction-----

just plain stupid

that is what freedom of speech is all about, people are allowed to say things that others might not like

and you cannot assault them because you dont like it

Foxx needs to grow up--- yes Michael Richards made a really bad judgement call and its gonna hurt his career, but Foxx threatening to attack him phsyically is 100 times worse than anything Richards said

TWO THUMBS WAY DOWN!!!!!!

because THAT is so much better then what Michael Richards did.

Jamie Foxx is a ditzy little ******, who should jump off a cliff in my opinion at least:)

because THAT is so much better then what Michael Richards did.Oh yes, I'm sure that Martin Luther King, Jr. would agree. :rolleyes:

Jamie Foxx is a ditzy little ******, who should jump off a cliff in my opinion at least:)Careful, Jamie "Ditzy Little ******" Foxx might start coming after you next!! :lol: :seeya:

I saw the interview where he threatened Richards a couple nights ago on one of those entertainment shows like ET, or Extra. I can totally understand him being upset, but violence just makes an already bad situation worse. He should know better then to say that. Maybe they should put a celebrity boxing match together with the two of them. After Richards comments, I wouldn't be surprised if that's where his career took him in the next couple years. LOL!!

because THAT is so much better then what Michael Richards did.

Amen.

Hey, Where is Rosie O'Donnell in all this? LOL

Hey, Where is Rosie O'Donnell in all this? LOL

Apparently Richards is not homophobic. He's just racist.

;)

Apparently Richards is not homophobic. He's just racist.

;)
Richards has attacked the jews, blacks, I am waiting for the gay bashing to come next!:lol:

i used to see Pryor live in the 60s and he did TONS AND TONS AND TONS of jokes about white people, jews and asians

he was not a racist

i used to see Redd Foxx live in the 60s he also did TONS of racial jokes but wasnt a racist

Racial jokes used to be done all the time and people used words like the N word or KIKE or SPICK or WETBACK all the time in humor
and it did not make the comics racist

richards also attacked jews as was noted BUT HE IS JEWISH--- so it is OBVIOUS that he does NOT hate jews since he is one himself, this is a NON -ISSUE

I am being sarcastic Lamont. I was merely pointing out that with all these people sticking their noses into this matter, (hence my Rosie O'Donnell reference since she opens her mouth where it doesn't belong) I was merely wondering how long before we hear from her.

And you keep referencing Pryor and all the other old comics who have used references to the "N" word and so forth. The difference between Richards and those comics is that Richards is not a stand up comedian...he is AN ACTOR...he tried to be funny and went abt it the wrong way. I grew up on Richard Pryor and George Carlin and all those comedians. I love Chris Rock and George Lopez. The difference between them and what Richards did is that we know what to expect from those comedians. We knew watching Richard Pryor we would hear such graphic language and references to "N" and "honkeys". I don't expect a person TRYING TO DO stand-up to get defensive at hecklers and using the skin color of those hecklers to try and be funny and/or make a point.

i understand what you mean
but i still think its really NO BIG DEAL, so what? so he called them the N word? no harm, no big deal--- there is blame on all sides----1. its not cool to heckle anyone, and 2. he shouldnt have called them the N word

whats stupid is how they have turned this into such a big deal

also richards WAS a stand up comic at that time, he is an actor mainly, but was trying his hand at stand up and obviously he isnt so good at it

BUTTTTT at the same time, i see a LOT of comics in my area (we go like 2 times a month) and when someone heckles them--- the comic ALWAYS fires back---- if the heckler is Fat, he makes FAT jokes or calls him FATSO, FATA$$ etc, if the heckler is really old they insult him for that---- these hecklers were black and he insulted them racially---- its not all that different---- its A LOT MORE OFFENSIVE and a pretty stupid judgement call
but i think the reaction to it has been 100X worse than what richards said to start with

Heckling has been around since Vaudeville. It comes with the territory. You can't stop drunken people from hurling insults to a comic. You can't stop people from sitting there and saying, "Hey you suck." True comics know that they will always deal with a heckler, which is why they are prepared for the "comeback" that will put the heckler in their place. I have been to hundreds of comedy shows, professional comics and up and coming comics. I have been to the Laugh Factory and the Improv in Los Angeles. It's common to hear hecklers. Some hecklers want the attention and they end up regretting it when the comic gives it to them good. You can't change the heckler. It's up to the comic to put him/her in their place. Richards thought screaming like a banshee was funny. It may have been at first, but when the "N" references came out and the references to lynching and other violence, that was where he crossed the line.

You just don't get it, there was no excuse for him to start rattling off racial slurs and talking about lynching. If you are a comedian and heckling makes you react in such an angry way, you have problems.

Not only that, but it proves you aren't a comedian. True Comedians know how to handle hecklers.

Right. Richards took his "act" to the next level by talking about lynching and how those black men would have had a fork up their azz or they wouldn't even been in a club watching him some 50 years ago. He didn't have to go there. Once you cross that line, that's it.

HOLLYWOOD - Rev. Jesse Jackson has lashed out at actor Michael Richards after he went on a racial tirade last week--insisting the comedian is "dangerous to himself and others."
Richards is reaching out to civil rights leaders to repair damage after launching into a racist rant in Los Angeles when he was heckled by two African-Americans at a comedy club.

Jackson has slammed the former Seinfeld star, saying, "He's embarrassed. He got caught on tape. That's a big part of his anxiety now."

Jackson said Richards is ill and in desperate need of professional help, adding, "Clearly he needs some race sensibility training, and some psychiatric help.

"His anger is volatile and dangerous to himself and others. I hope he gets the help he needs.

"We have to evaluate the use of the n-word and categorize it as hate speech, no matter who uses it."

You just don't get it, there was no excuse for him to start rattling off racial slurs and talking about lynching. If you are a comedian and heckling makes you react in such an angry way, you have problems.


I think Lamont is Black and is saying that the Hecklers should have not been that worked up over the N-word since the white comedian said it so they could get upset.

well what he did was wrong

but i believe 100% he THOUGHT it would come off as shocking , sort of like a howard stern type rant

he was wrong--- but he is certainly NOT a racist

a few weeks ago he did the same thing against JEWS and he is jewish!

he was trying to be controversial and came off as stupid, BUTTTTT im sure this aint the first time those guys have been called N***ERS and wont be the last, and its stupid for the media to turn this into some huge deal

he is NOT david duke here--- hes just a comic who made some stupid remarks and he apologized--- what else can he do? move on people, the show is over!

I don't know the hell you are talking about. You have issues

That "Heckling has been around since Vaudeville" is no excuse for this disgraceful behavior. If we're to going to apply the "grandfather clause" to heckling, why not do the same for other vile behaviors that have been around even longer, like: war, rape and, well....RACISM?

If comics are supposed to deal with heckling because it "goes with the territory" then why aren't black people supposed to deal with racial slurs from angry people of other colors? these comments pre-date Vaudeville by many years.

Of course, we could work towards ridding society of these ills, but then, what would people do without someone to villainize?

Ironically, a black man who suffered real harm and oppression posed the best solution in the form of a question:

CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?

I don't know the hell you are talking about. You have issues
what r u talking about solomon???
did u read what i wrote???

my point was that richards was WRONG_--- but he clearly thought what he was doing was SHOCKING and he did the same rant a few weeks before against Jewish hecklers (and HE HIMSELF IS A JEW!) so im sure he is not racist--- but just trying to be a shock comedian (LIKE DICE was in the 1980s!)

and my other point was that these black men who are suing--- im sure they have been called the N word before and didnt sue, they are suing NOW only because the guy is a millionaire and thats total BS!!!!

richards was wrong--- but the media is making him into some hatemonger that he clearly is not, he was just STUPID is all

So let me get this straight. You are stating the two men who did the heckling HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR HECKLING?

And I wish people would stop referring to Richards as a COMIC. HE IS AN ACTOR!

You've got it straight: Heckling is a boorish, aggressive behavior best left in the dark ages with Jim Crow laws-do you have a problem with this idea? Would you care to defend heckling? What good does it do?

As for Richards being a comic, the fact is, he's done standup for years-You've made it quite clear that you don't like him as such, but in light of the recent incident, I'm afraid you're going to have to deal with people referring to him as a COMIC, rather than an actor-really, it's not worth worrying about is it?

:rofl: comparing heckling to Jim Crow laws...:rofl: That's too ridiculous. Heckling has been around and it's not going away. As long as the REAL COMEDIANS, the real professionals don't have a problem with it, why should you? :rofl:

Calm down; you're obviously agitated and spoiling for a fight, but why? Your response betrays you: Of course you have no valid defense for hecklers and by the way, who says that REAL COMEDIANS don't have a problem with them? You're lumping a large and extremely diverse group of people into one category with no distinction...

And how the heck can you possibly not understand what my problem with this offensive act is? I spelled it out clearly in the post you just answered-just as I clearly spelled out my position in the post that you wanted to make sure you got "straight."

I wish you peace and I'm not being sarcastic at all-The fact is, the Michael Richards incident that started all of this has ignited all sorts of rage and rage is a psychotic beast, not a constructive solution to a problem.

Yes, because heckling is just as disgraceful as rape. Pleeze. If youre not funny, which he was not b/c I saw some of his standup, then expect to be called unfunny. No one wants to sit through hours of listening to your lame and unfunny jokes. What a weak argument you just made...

Wow. Way to go, Jamie Foxx. Way to bring yourself down to his level and set a good example for all the young folks out there. :rolleyes:

Well, if you read my other posts on the other threads regarding this jerk, you will know that I abhor his behavior and what he did. He brought this onto himself and has no excuse for it whatsoever. He screwed himself over, bottom line.

As for the professional comedians, there have been at least ten that I have seen on the news or other sources that have been blasting Richards for what he did. Rightly so. Richards "antics" and disgusting behavior is not liked by those of us who hate racial slurs and those who are professional comedians and make a living doing their job.

There's nothing left for him/her to say lol. Dismissed!

well anyone who does stand up IS a comedian or comic---- even if not a good one

and i agree, heckling is realllllly uncool

but at the same time, richards reaction was uncool too

there is a lot of blame to go around, and richards is surely wrong on this, but he HAS apologized several times and no harm was done

There's nothing left for him/her to say lol. Dismissed!
DIS-MISSED...but my money is riding that they are "lurking". :rofl:
