Chevy Chase Rant: Actor Apologizes For Outburst On Set Of ‘Community’

That show sucks. And what is the "N" word? Are we all in kindergarten?

This is news?

We should still enjoy his vacation movies and forget that he is an egotistical progressive actor…….

He asked the question "what if his character was to use the word niggger"? So what? He was referring to the word itself not calling anyone one. He didn't owe any one an apology. It's "just a word" until a white person says it.

Chevy needs to dump all those losers and produce and direct his own show. He's certainly got the money. I'm surprised he'd be on a program that he didn't have most of the control over any way. It doesn't make sense to me.

yea he said it to richard pryors face back in the 80s on SNL also, just 1 diffrence, the world wasnt full of peice of shit people that cant mind their own fucking business.

halleluia! holy shit! where is the tylenol?

This IS a good show, but they have failed miserably in developing that character when they have a comedic actor the caliber of Chevy Chase. He's right to rant, the writers are falling way short here.

He said the word in the proper way( if there is a proper way), do not blow this thing out of proportion, I think we are going little to far when it comes to the word, he was not saying it in a hateful way, if people are that upset about it then nobody, not even blacks should be saying it.

eww Chevy u're going to go to hell for that one…lol.

I'm not offended at all. He was talking about a character who is a bigot and was obviously upset over where said character was going. Believe if something is truly racist I will be the first to say it, but I do not see that beiing the case in this instance. I still think he is hilarious.

He is still living off a STAR from 40 years ago on SNL and also a few panned movies. I guess, in his mind, that makes him gifted and an authority on comedy.

oh no! He used the N- word. arghhhh.
The only ones offended by the n-word are liberal whites. Got to keep your voting base under your thumb. God forbid if African Americans were allowed to get along with their lives without you closet racists to push them along.
Amazing.

Typical arrogant, liberal, and overrated actor, who is way past his prime. The guy was alwasy an obnoxious liberaal snob.

More so than you Jim King………………………LOL!

I could not have said it better myself! This story headline is bogus. There was no racist comment by Mr. Chase. Great post Candace!

Oh he's just acting 70 yrs old. make sure there are prunes in his dressing room he'll be fine.

You know…I am around a lot of black people…and they call each other the 'n' word all the time. Its only a big deal if a white person says it!

I'm sorry but given the history of this country, I have a right to be angry if a white person says it in a derogatory way. This is actually why I do not like it when black people say it. The word has an ugly past, and I wish I could just make it go away. However, that is not possiible. Just please do not make it seem like we are wrong for getting upset at a word that has always been used in hurtful way against blacks. Having said all that, I still do not think that Chevy Chase was wrong in this case.

Yes, he said a "bad" word. I think he should be commended, instead of being branded a bigot. People need to stop being so sensitive and so quick to play the victim. Stop letting words affect you emotionally and they will eventually lose their power to incite. I'm sorry, it's 2012 and we as a country need to move on. We have to face the problems of the present and future, and stop fighting the battles of the past. The Ignorant have had their say in this country for long enough, and it's only because they have always said it louder than the kind, decent and intelligent people. To often people feel the need to prop themselves up at the expense of another. Enough is enough.

Agreed. "Taking it back", indeed.

I agree, Candace. I'm white, and personally I think the word has no place in our society unless one is speaking of the past and using examples of words that were hateful and used by hate-filled people. I can't stand hearing the word. I find it annoying, to say the least, that young black people have found a romantic usage for the word. :/

I agree, Candace. I'm white, but I hate that word. My son is 25, and he has friends of all races and they use that word all the time, and it really means nothing to them. But when I was growing up, that was a hate word and we weren't allowed to use it in our house! When I hear it now, that's what I think of.
But I agree with you about Chevy Chase, too. I'm not a fan of his per se, but that word would be nothing to a racist, so I think he had a good point. This is way different than Mel Gibson's racist rants – Chevy was talking about his character, and Mel was just being himself!

No, Nick. I'm a conservative white. Believe me, there are plenty of us who find that word annoying. It's not just liberal whites who have the decency to be offended by racists words. Geez!

Seems to me like Chevy was upset over the direction of his character's bigotry and effectively used the n-word to prove his point to the writers. Sometimes you have to shock people into waking up. Perhaps the media should be writing about the reasons the writers feel compelled to make his character more and more of a bigot?

i appreciate your point but my point was in the context that Chase used it was hardly controversial. Correct though, name calling is extremely annoying and childish. I do stand by my point that liberal whites try to keep the minority base needing.

He should be fired if he has done this crap before. It is amazing how the left will take more than enough crap from those on the left. Imagine if he was a Republican that said this. Hell they cannot take a black person being a Republican.

This shows what HYPOCRITES the looney leftists who are so open minded are.

Black people seem to have a massive issue with confidence and self worth. They are the only group of people that are so offend by a word to such and extent that it upset production.

Candace Rich you do have a right to be upset but that is it. The issue with blacks is that somehow the utterance of the word by a white person can "rightfully" create riots and when a black person uses it we call that a concert.

Chevy is the epitome of comedy. he didn't direct it at anyone. No apology needed to me.

I grew up in a mixed neighborhood in the 70s and 80s.It didn't matter one bit if you were white black or anything else. In my neighbor to the two things you needed to deal with was racial slurs and rank outs on your mom. We had a great time doing it and not one person took any of it seriously.

Why is it okay for black people to use it constantly but not okay for whites? I hear it at the high school, in public, and especially with black comedians who think it is funny, while the audience roars with laughter.

Just askin' – would prefer an honest and sincere answer rather than hate-filled responses.

The reason why Black people " are the only group of people that are so offend by a word to such and extent that it upset production" thesaint125 is that a certain group of people still identify Blacks as lesser than most people and use the word in a way to define them as such. Its not the power that black people believe it has its the power that other groups believe the word has. That's why so many blacks have embraced the word in their communities to lessen the power it has, however do not be fooled it still offends us because of our ancestry and out of respect that word should not be used in offense to our race.

This Politically Correct BS has gotten too far out of hand. It would have been one thing if Chevy called somebody a n####r. But he wasn't. That was no way in the context of him using that word. He was merely voicing his irritation at how much of a bigot his character is developing into. If anybody was offended by that, then I say either grow up and stop being such little crybaby or go live on a remote deserted island where there'll be nobody around to say something you'll find offensive.

True, hardly controversial. And I have to agree with you about some liberals using racism themselves to keep blacks to the left. After the crap they said against Stacy Dash, wow! And Obama's co-chair, Eva Longoria, herself a minority, not saying anything against that sort of rhetoric was disgusting. But then, Eva made it clear why she didn't; she agrees with that sort of rhetoric, evident by the FACT that she retweeted some tweets that were sick. Even though she "claims" she doesn't agree with them. Who on here has ever re-tweeted things with which they didn't agree? Not me. Would she have re-tweeted a racist rant by David Duke? I'm pretty sure she wouldn't have. Even though I don't agree with Alan Colmes on virtually anything, I have to say he was right, she should have to leave the campaign

Oh, I'm just wondering about something. [I look at an empty chair] Mr. President, you called Sandra Fluke when she was called some bad names by Rush. Um…Did you call Carrie Prejean, Samantha Pawlucy (16yr old), or Stacy Dash when they were attacked by some vicious left-wingers? I'm just wondering because you're the one who said we all need to be "civil" in our disagreements. Oh, you didn't call any of them? Hmm? Ok. Kinda what I thought. (Thanks for the use of your chair Mr. Eastwood. LOL)

jaelge… couldn't wait for your day to write that word, could you? Hopefully it is out of your system now. BTW, I agree with Candace. There is nothing to see here…

I've made $64,000 so far this year working online and I'm a full time student. I'm using an online business opportunity I heard about and I've made such great money. It's really user friendly and I'm just so happy that I found out about it. Heres what I do, Max14.comCHECK IT OUT.

I'm 62 and white. Since I went to school in the 60's, I've had a lot of black friends and still do. Being a drummer back then, I've played in all black bands and the only "honkie" in the bar. But you what, I never had a problem. I"ve been called names by blacks after that, doesn't bother me, cause I know better. Call me a redneck, fine I'm from Tennessee, I'll wear that like a badge! But nobody has a right to call me a racist. Move on folks, do what's right, look inside and see if all of this nonsense is worth it.

Chase needs to take a chill pill. It's a comedy show after all. Lots of laughs.

so what? he used a racial slurr.it's not like it has not been done before.besides mirrorities do the exact same towards whites and get away with it like every second of the day.so people who are offended by what this celeb done, just get over it cause you can't change what humans do in general.

Candace Rich candace – the word has an ugly past, an ugly present and hopefully no future. As a Jew who lost 298 members of my family in the nazi concentration camps(according to the records at the yad vashem Holocaust museum) i can relate to pain and loss. discrimination is inexcusable and hate is too. I am also a writer at The Inquisitr and I wrote a column about hate today you might find worth reading:

Candace why don't you Teach Whitie something and Tell us what the Term Nigger means( Dictionary),you say it's hurtful is it More Hurtful Than Honkey,Redneck,Hillbilley,Briar,Grayboy,snake lips,these are just a few of the names blacks call White People,and the worst one is RACIST,A term used all the Time especially when a black person starts losing an Argument. I've dealt with All Races of People My Whole life and I can Truly say Black's are the most RACIST,That's why They use the term ALL the time and call everybody Racist's to Hid their True feelings.

Chris ""WHY"" WHY DOES THE WORD NIGGER offend you and tell me why it's a Racist term In other words give me the definition of it and not what you Think it means.

John you are a beacon of the Truth, thank you

Chris- You're problem is you make too much sense! However, I'm at a point where i believe the democrats NOR the Republicians give a rip about you and me.
Can't wait for the election to be over.

Candace, the good news is all derogatory name calling seems to be subsiding. the reason I believe is more equality among the races in income, education etc.
My 21 and 23 year old kids get pissed when they hear that kind of name calling. Also, for what its worth, as a boy I watched sports with only white kids around me. Now, I watch football, basketball and baseball with whites, blacks, Latinos etc. insports bars around So. Cal. I never hear vulgar name calling. Makes me happy.
