While he was performing, an African American man heckled him, and "Kramer" unloaded on this guy, using vulgar language and insenstive racial remarks. It was really quite disgusting; when it was shown on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Oberman, half of his words were bleeped out. I would try to run it through Yahoo! or Google news or search on some of the news sites. Take my word for it, it was vulgar and an apology won't even begin to cover it. BTW, I am white and I took extreme offense. No one should ever act in the way that "Kramer" did, no matter what race you are, period!!

While Michael Kramer was on stage telling jokes st the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood he was heckled by 2 Black Guys ,Richards (Kramer on Seinfield) lost his cool and said the worst possible things to the two guys. As the the two hecklers left the stage you could tell they were very hurt and said he statements were uncalled for. This whole episode seems blown out of proportion,a lot of young Black Men call themselves that particle word but whenever someone not Black calls them that name they get offended and sometimes want to fight that person.Black people should stop using that "word" when talking to each other,then no one else would ever use it again.You can see the whole sorry scene on www.Youtube.com

I don't think there is a video that starts at the beginning. The video shown on tv was done on a cell phone by one of the offended parties.
A group of black folks arrived late and they were noisy when ordering drinks and it was in the middle of his dialogue. So he started off on them and got racially abusive in his choice of words.
I wish we could concentrate on how much we have in common rather than our differences. And it is unfortunate that only the few get all the attention that keeps this on the front burner. Only when newspeople stop publicizing this stuff out of proportion, and us real people work together and dialogue about our problems and issues, will be get past this....

YouTube has the clip from someone's cellphone cam.
BUT what people seem to be either ignoring or they arent informed is that he was being harassed by 2 hecklers. Badly.
Yes, he overreacted and lost his cool which is a shame cause he is a veteran standup comic and should be able to take it but the 2 hecklers are just to blame as much as he is.
They cursed him off, called him a cracker ***, mocked his career. Of course those things are going to set anyone off.
Richards should apologize to the people but not to the hecklers. They should come forth and admit what they did. I bet you there going to lie and try to come off as the victims and downplay what they said to him while he was on stage.
Edit: to MAC
Why bother posting one word answers if you dont have anything to say? You're such a rating whore.

Check the web for it. There is a transcript with some words deleted someplace. It would have to be a news site in the area of the club.

You can get it on You Tube to hear the entire thing. He seemed very agitated, he was pacing the stage like a caged animal. The audience got up and left.
Like I said, go to You Tube and type in Michael Richards. It will give you the video footage.

My husband saw a non edited video of it on the internet somewhere. Krammer makes me sick and is a horrible person. I wish he would just go away.
