He was being heckled and was just grasping at something to
**** them off, but overlooked pissing everybody off. He should
have been more proffesional, but stand up comedy is a stressfull gig and he just didnt handle it well. I still love him and hope he
doesnt do it again

When i turned 16 my friend influenced me to rap and hip hop,
listening to that type of music for a couple o0 fyears i found myself using that term and slag and all that comes with it
I am not proud of it but i have used the word before to insult someone, and one time i when clubbing in Chicago and i was waiting in line like most people do when they are trying to go clubbing, anyways i was standing there and a huge truck full of white guys dressed in gang member costumes ( i say costumes because unless you are working and sweating or actually in a gang you shouldnt wear a rag around your head.)(
anyways these dudes saw me and singled me out and call me a ***** so what the **** it is just a word, if someone calls me gay i dont get offended i just assume that the person is gay themselves and they are projecting their own rejection onto me
I was kinda shocked, it sounds to me like Kramer is at the end of his rope and maybe the end of performing, maybe it was a cry for help.
I know peole that when they get depressed then stress and anger follow.
Any interviews of that actor away from his charater as Kramer i have noticed some sort of interal pain on his face?
I dont know but i was shock and i sometimes find myself using that word.

"Kramer" realized that he was wrong and he is very sorry. It's not acceptable to justify such a hateful word that contributed to lynchings, suppression and mistreatment.
Race baiting is enticing, even daring, but it doesn't really go anywhere. Try something different.

Yes they (Michael Richards' words) are because he actually lost it on stage and was totally out of control. You see, I'm an overweight person, so I might light-heartily call a heavy friend of mine "fat-boy." Likewise he may do the same to me. But when it comes from "left-field" by someone who doesn't even know me on a first name basis and furthermore who is attacking, disrespecting and insulting me; then Houston, we have a problem.

Yes and no. His comments were racist and spoken in an angry rant.
However, I do agree if he were a black performer, there wouldn't be so much attention, specifically because black people sometimes use the N word to each other.

No one should use The N word .Black nor White.
He admitted it was wrong & apologized.
When Blacks use Nig ga ,it isn't the same meaning as Nig ger.
It refers to comrade, compadre' etc.
Others non-blacks use of the word nig ga is offensive only
because they aren't buddies.

Blacks are pretty hypocritical when it comes to racism. If black people found the word as offensive as they claim, then they would have more of a problem with rappers and gangsters using the word in a positive sense.

yes, of course his words are "that bad". do you even realize the context he was using them in? his reasoning for calling those guys or that guy a "n***er" was because they "were interrupting him". kramer said that's what they get for "talking and talking". i mean, is the guy on crack? you don't just go about shouting racist slurs because you'r being "interrupted". honestly. kramer was acting really really strangely. too weird.

Black men and women refer to themselves as "niggaz" not niggers. Same word just used in the black community (unfortunately) but is different when a white person says it. ****** has a negative conotation to it. The black guy called him a "cracker" but in my opinion whites have not been discriminated, dissed, looked down up on because they were called crackers. If you look up "******" on google what do you see and if you look up "cracker" what do you see. Probably a picture of a saltine cracker. If anybody can tell me why they feel cracker is negative please let me know..seriously. I just noticed when I went to approve my question..it blocked out the word ****** and not cracker...Why is that?

I'm sure it's all being blown out of proportion.
