Michael Richards, Seinfeld's Kramer, stuns audience with racial rampage
LOS ANGELES -- Michael Richards stunned a comedy club audience, shouting racial epithets at people who heckled him during a stand-up routine.

The 57-year-old actor-comedian, best known for playing Jerry Seinfeld's eccentric neighbor Kramer on the hit TV show "Seinfeld," was performing at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood on Friday night when he went into the verbal rampage.

A video posted on TMZ.com shows the tirade apparently began after two black audience members started shouting at him that he wasn't funny.

Richards retorted: "Shut up! Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f------ fork up your a--."

He then paced across the stage taunting the men for interrupting his show, peppering his speech with racial slurs and profanities.

"You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now mother------. Throw his a-- out. He's a n-----!" Richards shouts before repeating the racial epithet over and over again.

While there is some chuckling in the audience throughout the outburst, someone can be heard gasping, "Oh my God," and various people "ooh" after Richard uses the n-word.

Eventually someone says: "It's not funny. That's why you're a reject, never had no shows, never had no movies. 'Seinfeld,' that's it."

Richards performed the next night at the Laugh Factory without incident.

I have to be real with this one, i see the ignorant comments that other racist idiots are making and it makes me sick. but it doesnt suprise me one bit that they still feel that way.I am mixed but society says that i'm black and leaves it at that.Dont you racist dummies ever get tired of the unecessary hate? You cant get rid of us, were too strong to take out.Blacks and Mexicans are really taking over and were more powerful then ever, so continue making your racist comments but you cant turn on a television or listen to the radio without seeing and hearing us because were all over it, haters!

I'm not racist myself but I assume there are many people of all races who are closet racists.
