Michael Richards apparently has alot of racist thoughts, he yelled them out while he was on stage doing his comedy act. What do u think of the lovable Kramer now?

I am shocked! I can't believe the man who plays one of my favorite characters of all time is a racist asshole! I am shocked! I guess we really see his true colors.

It is sad that a white man can racially attack an audience member and people complain about the black man and make excuses for the white man. It was not a joke. Saying "You're a N***ER!" 12 or 13 times in a row to a black person is not a joke. Why are you making excuses. He could have picked on his clothes, his hair, his speech, his eyes, his girlfriend, but he chose to CALL a black peron the N-word.
I am still looking for the joke. Or maybe some understanding from white people that this is not a good thing or an excuseable thing for someone to do.
And if any of you can show me a tape where eddie murphy or richard pryor had a heckler and said "you're a H****!!" over and over and over again. then maybe I will change my mind.

As a comedian i relize that hecklers will always be around. However using the N word has become a so openly used bye comedian, even white comedians, there is no reason for him to use that. Also what about the black man that called him a "motherf*&^**** Cracker" isn't he a racist for using that word?
Also the video isn't shown in its entirety. I'm not defending him but the media is coming down really hard on him. I wouldn't be suprised if he never did statd up agian. Wonder what jessie and Al sharpton does about this?

I seriously cant believe what happened and to all you "hes a decent guy and not racist" Why would he be calling them names from the 50's when the white people (not all) were racists? You think oh, everyone else has minor racism in our comedies so why shouldn't the white? Everyone else hasn't committed major racists parts in history did they? I am white but I cant believe after all that he said that you people can be 100% behind him, He just called all the blacks stupid mother***** N's how could you say OH I don't think hes racist he just got interrupted. God did you actually hear what he said or read about it? That was uncalled for and when you do tell jokes and get on stage your not supposed to rip on the people being immature, you freaken R-TARDS
" quote So....Michael Richards gets ostrocized but no one cares about Mencia...I don't know exactly what he said but I think people just need to stop being so sensitive. At least he's honest. "
Im glad youve shown who you think is honest now look at this video and look at the hero thats so truthful http://us.video.aol.com/video.index.adp?mode=1&pmmsid=1772645

KRAMER: Shut up 50 years ago, we'd have had you upside down with a [EXPLETIVE]-ing fork up your [EXPLETIVE]. You can talk. You can talk. You can talk. You brain dead [EXPLETIVE].
KRAMER: Throw his [EXPLETIVE] out, he's a [N WORD]. He's a [N WORD]. He's a [N WORD].
WOMAN IN THE AUDIENCE: (mumbles) Oh my God
KRAMER: A [N WORD], look there's a [N WORD].
Woooo. Ohhh. Alright you see. It shocks you. You see what these stupid [EXPLETIVES] have done.
MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: That was uncalled for.
KRAMER: What was uncalled for? It's uncalled for you to interrupt us, you cheap [EXPLETIVE]. You guys have been talking, and talking and talking. I don't know? I don't know? I don't know? (mocking the audience member)
(The man in the audience gets up to leave)
KRAMER: Wait a minute where's he going?
MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: That was uncalled for you [STRING OF RACIST EXPLETIVES]
KRAMER: Cracker [EXPLETIVE]? Are you calling me a Cracker [EXPLETIVE] you [N WORD]
MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: [STRING OF RACIST EXPLETIVES]
KRAMER: Are you threatening me???
MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: We'll see what's up
KRAMER: Oh that's a big threat. That's how you get back at a man.
MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: That was really uncalled for
KRAMER: Wait a minute. He's not going is he?
MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: It's not funny. That's why you're a reject and never had any shows or movies - just Seinfeld, that's it.
KRAMER: Oh I guess you got me there. You're absolutely right. I'm just a wash up. I gotta stand on the stage.
MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: That's Un-[EXPLETIVE] called for. That ain't necessary.
KRAMER: Well you interrupted me pal. That's what happens when you interrupt a white man - didn't you know.
MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: That was uncalled for.
(the crowd begins to get uncontrolable.
KRAMER: You see, you see. There's still those words - those words - those words.
(Kramer then hurries off the stage while the crowd erupts in pandemonium)

I still love Micheal Richards. His comedy act
was not a " Live at the Apollo" routine, The rudeness
of the hecklers was uncalled for. I think his
comments was for them, and their rudeness.
To one funny man, I LOVE YOU MICHEAL.
If I was there I would have yelled out,
:-O " DO YOUR ACT FOR ME", forget those Turkeys.

I do not think he is seriously a racist, it would have come out before this. That being said, he probably should not have said some of the things he said.

Kramer is a non-existent character being played by an actor. The personality of the actor has nothing to do with the personality of the character.

He's not racist, he just lost it when some blacks in the audience continued to heckle him. If you watch the video they also refer to Richards as a cracker. I would just say it's more of he lost control of his temper to people who were trying to ruin his routine on the stage. It was uncalled for by both sides, but Richards will probably be doing night clubs more often than TV from now on. I guess the Seinfeld reunion is out.
