From TMZ.com:
Michael Richards exploded in anger as he performed at a famous L.A. comedy club last Friday, hurling racial epithets that left the crowd gasping, and TMZ has obtained exclusive video of the ugly incident.
Richards, who played the wacky Cosmo Kramer on the hit TV show "Seinfeld," appeared onstage at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. Kyle Doss, an African-American, told TMZ he and some friends were in the cheap seats and he was playfully heckling Richards when suddenly, the comedian lost it.
The camera started rolling just as Richards began his attack, screaming at one of the men, "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your a**."
Richards continued, "You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now motherf**ker. Throw his *** out. He's a n****r! He's a n****r! He's a n****r! A n****r, look, there's a n****r!"
The crowd is visibly and audibly confused and upset. Richards responds by saying, "They're going to arrest me for calling a black man a n****r."
One of the men who was the object of Richard's tirade was outraged, shouting back "That's un-f***ing called for, ain't necessary."
After the three-minute tirade, it appears the majority of the audience members got up and left in disgust.
You can watch the video of the tirade, as well as his apology on Letterman at http://www.tmz.com. It's unbelievable. He goes OFF THE DEEP END.

Michael Richards, as Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld was the only reason to watch the BORING show. Not that I ever watched it. (Not all the time anyway.)
So he flipped out. He said some bad things. How many people haven't got mad at someone else? At the moment he just said whatever. He said he apologized, and if he is true with his apology. We just need to let it go. I think the guy can be very funny.
My concern is what took place before he flipped out. How would you feel if you was him in that situation. Just say it was some Hispanic people or even Asian people.
Michael Richards still has my support.

Michael got heckled by some black guys and told them, "fifty years ago we'd have forks up your asses for that" He called them dirty N*ggers and made many other racial comments. He was yelled at by the crowd and told he was nothing, "all you ever had was seinfeld; no movies, no more TV shows, your done!" they yelled
