I dunno, all the pictures I've seen (granted I don't know what text books your school used in history class) they were never hanging upside down.. and if they were, what exactly were they hanging them by??Spudtrooper said:
You've been sentenced to die, at the earliest convenience of the court we sentence you to die.. You'll be hung by your gonads until dead. So, we start at dawn, by thursday of next week you should be dead.

It just sounded like a very specific slur...like it was from a scene in a movie or something where that was depicted? I don't know either way...its not right.itsbob said:
Fine, he lased out....whatever. There was no mention of hanging and "upside down" has absolutly NO implications of hanging or lynching. Hell, you cant hang somebody by the neck upside down.
He says, "50 years ago you would have been upside down with a fork up your ass." Sure, that probably is a racist comment....but it has NOTHING to do with hanging.
And, you have no idea what these characters were saying to him before the video started. They could have been yelling anti-sematic cracks at him. I say, if you weren't there, don't judge. It seems like the first few times he said the N word everybdy in the audience laughed. I think they left out of fear or awkwardness. Hell if LAUGH! let him perform again the next night on the exact same stage, they must have had SOME reasons to keep him there.
Disrespecting a performer is uncalled for...Richards (although I am sure there were more civil ways to handle it) handeled it his own way. You don't go to Broadway and sit in the back and scream "your voice sucks!" do ya? And if you did, your ass would be out on the street in less than 30 seconds. Its a comedy club. It's a rude place as is, if you can't show respect for a well known comedian your black or white or yellow ass should be yanked out anyway.

Im On 1.
I just watched the video again and I too did not hear him mention hanging from a tree. But having him say that implied lynching....no question in my mind. What act around 1956 would describe "50 years ago you would've been upside down with a fork up your ass??"itsbob said:
u cant be this foolish.
I believe it was Lauryn Hill's first hit.
Y'ain't gonna do nothin'. Maybe...what? Stop watching his movies? Boycott his TV shows?flomaster said:
