He definitely lost his cool, and you just can't do that these days. There are cameras and wanabe reporters everywhere. From the footage I saw, I don't blame him for losing it. And I'm not condoning it, but it happens. And I doubt if it will hurt his career. It's hard to hurt the career of a man with thirty million dollars in the bank.

He was Michael Richards at the time and none of the things he said were related to his role as Kramer on Seinfeld as a show, He was Michael Richards....

It's a double standard! The fact that rappers say the "N" word (No I don't use it!!) all the time!! And you hear all these little hip hop clowns refer to themselves as it again every other word...I have no problem with the fact that he snapped and called them something they probably refered to themselves as all day long anyway....It was the comment that precipitated it
"If it was 50 years ago you'd be hanging upside down with a fork in your a*s" That blew my mind...
Something like that just doesn't roll off your tongue unless you've thought about it before..That was unbelievably offensive and crossed every line there was to cross in my mind!! The dudes career has been dead for years. So I can't even say he buried himself with that comment...But he sure let people know where his mind lies..He's racist no if's ands or buts about it.

I think that if you can stand the heat you can do the job no matter what it is or what happens while you do it...if you are the type to cry about things you can't change then whats is the point of doing a job...we have all heard the word n*gg*r before..big deal !! "every race" have the most ignorant people you could ever meet....just live your life and stop crying about those people, you are unable to change who they are or where they come from...so please stop calling names and judging others use your time wisely,on things that matter in your life...bottom line get serious about "you"!

There must be something wrong with you, do you realize he hurt peoples feelings? Although I have had times where Black people have upset me, I didn't go and lose my mind on them, nor have I lost my mind on people that are Hispanic, Asian, White or White Trash etc., because there is always going to be some kind of backlash on me for doing so. Also now what is going to happen to his career?

No it was not awesome. Pretty stupid if you ask me. Just cost himself his career. Not knowing how to deal with hecklers is not an excuse for what he did. His apology was as fake as they come. If someone upsets you and you resort to name calling to get back at them that just shows your immaturity and ignorance.
There's just too many great words in the English language to put someone in their place without resorting to name calling.

From the things I've heard he was kinda new with stand-up and he didn't know how to deal with a heckler.
One of the first things they learn is how to do that....his inexperience came out.
