Michael Richard Racist

Answer 3

I doubt he's a real racist seeing how occasional black solid contributors joined Seinfeld (quite the fast speaking criminal expert, submit to in thoughts him?) I admit i did not see the video of Michael Richards going off on the heckler. besides the undeniable fact that, I definitely have examine it exchange right into a shouting journey the place Kramer used various circumstances of profane racist language and the end result on the objective audience exchange into stunning. Later Kramer did make an apology and Seinfeld too supported his chum and suggested Michael Richards definitely feels undesirable. think of with regard to the rigidity on Michael Richards after the relative success of Jerry Seinfeld in easy of a television instruct spun around the concept of a stand-up comedian turning out to achieve success.

Answer 4

Being apart of the 'white flight' in Detroit back in '76 although I was just in elementary school, I've been exposed to some of the nastier side of the racial divide all my life. I hate the n word as do I hate the c word when hurled at a female, its just so sad to revert to name calling really. The good book is correct when describing the human tongue as a venomous uncontrollable thing. I was really cracking up today at Detroit area's talk show white radio personalities acting like they don't have any racial issues of their own..puleeze.. Southeastern Mich is still one of the most segregated areas in the country.

Answer 5

I think he is a brilliant, funny, deep and troubled man who rode the wave of "temporary stardom" in the la-la factory that is Hollywood, and then when we dropped his spin-off show, he fell to the ground just as child stars do.

We need to see him as a man who is broken and in that, try to forgive his human frailties and pray he gets through it to find his way back to being whole.

I can't imagine he meant a word of what was said, and I don't think any of us has to carry the burden of deciding his future.

This is the same man who brought us deep down belly laughs and time off from the world with just plain good humor, maybe we should keep good thoughts for him to get through this life tragedy like an old friend.

I don't know why their industry needs to analyze and pigeon hole everyone, they need to breathe.

Answer 6

It sounds like he's a racist, but does he go everywhere he goes and say that word to all the black people he encounters? I don't believe he does. Maybe he was provoked by black people in the crowd because they know how to gang up on a white person when they want to.

Answer 7

People are blowing this out of proportion. There is a racist double standard in this country and it's sickening. If you ever watch uncensored black comedians they refer to white people as crackers, cracker devils, honkey, white bread and who knows what else and not a thing is ever brought up about these racist terms. But the very minute a white person uses a term like this he is crucified. We need to all follow the same standards or use no standards at all. If I was him I wouldn't have even apologized.

Answer 8

It was definitely unnecessary and (not to sound 5 but) mean!

Does making racist remarks make you a racist?

Probably not because anyone could say it but it doesn't mean you believe it.

He cracked basically he couldn't handle the stress of the show that night and he cracked.

Answer 9

I love how the gentleman who interrupted his show was calling him racial slurs, but no one cared about that. This is America, and he is just a man executing his right to free speech. He has every right to use the word n*gger as the black gentleman had every right to call him a cheap crackerass motherf*cker. It's a fine line, but seriously, neither one of the men did anything wrong.

Answer 10

It strikes me that we may not know whole picture such as what preceded the rant. No excuse for use of the "N" word but I have heard he was being heckled aboout ethnic issue. May just be internet rumor but woulld like to hear more about that.

Answer 11

I watched the video and I'm still having a hard time deciding if it was all and act or not. I mean it kind of looked like it was scripted.
