I think he heard his career continue to crumble and took it out on the guys in the audience.

I think there are so many hypocrites out there. It's unreal. Chris Rock and Dave Chapelle make there livings off of "making fun of white people". It's funny may I add. However do you really think this would be a problem if someone like a washed up black actor made these comments to a white audience member. Not a chance! Actually I see it everyday if I am watching a comic on BET. Some of them...there whole act is based on picking a white person out of the audience and rolling with them. They have no talent. Similarly to if a white man had this same act...and ripped on one black audience member. That white comedian would have no talent...but he doesn't exist because there is such a double standard. And guess what? It's going to be the press (the white press) who will continually push this in our faces...and how outraged they are about this incident and how one sided the story is being told so that they will get there stupid lil story. I am sure these people he was talking too didn't deserve to be heckled back at all? He lost his temper....that is all. He was dumb to do that and make it a racial thing. These people had no business being in a club and talking while this man is doing his job (white, black, hispanic, asian, whatever). He picked the wrong way to heckle them back...but if the roles were reversed...it would be a non-issue....that wouldn't even make local news...let alone national news. It was not a publicity stunt. He has nothing to promote. If he wanted to do a publicity stunt in wouldn't involve the word "******" as a publicity stunt.

No and what sucks is I absolutely looooooved Kramer from Seinfeld. I dont think he used it to get attention, I think he thought that since he was in a comedy club he could get away with it and still try to be funny at the same time. I now cannot watch Seinfeld in the same way again and believe he is a racist. I have been mad at so many people in my life of all different backgrounds and ethnicities and I have never once used the color of their skin to put them down. It has never even occured to me to blatantly point out a persons race in a negative way, I serioulsy dont see what that accomplish. Thats just not right.
Too the person below me you have it all wrong. The two black hecklers called Richards a cracker in response to him calling them the n-word. The heckler shouldnt have responded by calling him that but he was responding in true anger because it became personal. The hecklers were at first heckling because of Richards performance, not of him as a person.

It's possible he was trying to get publicity but I doubt it. Celebs do outrageous things all the time for attention but I think he just went over the top and went into an angry tirade. It got his name in the paper and on the news but I don't think it will resurrect his dead career. The American public still has some common decency and limitations on what we will tolerate. At least they scraped the OJ thing.

No .. I dont' think he said it to START up his career.
I do believe that he said it cuz he was very mad at those guys heckling him.
He should of been more professional about it.
Easy for me to say, but to say "******" over and over again is crazy.
He just lost it.
Besides I'm sure this will help anyway...Show Biz is a crazy business.
I bet he'll be doing a movie with Spike Lee by the end of the week.

No...it wasn't wrong what he did.
If you saw the whole tape on what occurred....
tell me what you would have done?
He responded to black hecklers calling him
a "cracker a s s"! He unfortunately, lowered
himself to their class and responded with
racial slurs.
No. His career is not over.
There are still a lot of his fans out here that
see through the one-sided b.s.

specific, he's a fat slob. yet, he only brings out issues that prefer interest in our united states of america. only turn over to CNN or any of the main significant "information" channels and that they are all masking our so observed as "well-being care disaster" now. only because of this fat slob's documentary.

Seinfeld continues to run in heavy syndication. Is that enough success for you?
