I think it's a huge shame what happened to him. He used to be so well thought of, and he's ruined. I guess that's what he deserves though, the whole thing was just horrible.
But I mean, no one deserves to be heckled like that either. Why would you go to a show, if you didn't like the comedian? And I think those guys should get the same treatment that Michael Richards gets as well. What they did was no better, they just didn't have a microphone.
But I also think that everyone deserves a second change. Should he be labelled a racist jerk for the rest of his life? I think at the start of each day, everyone's slate should be wiped clean. I just hope one day he realizes the extent of his mistake, because the whole thing was just horrible...

What Michael Richards said was completely wrong. Although the show ran for almost 10 years, I didn't see one episode. I never really thought Richards was a funny comedian, so I'm not worried whether or not he is banned from the air.

Does the american public have this much free time on the hands; We are all sinners, pick your sin,, at your breaking point and let us make permenent judgement of you. With the seriousness of crimes committed in america, corporate financial crimes, child molestation, abductions, etc etc ,,,, this should not even be in discussion even more so since the hecklers called him a very derogatory name for white slave owners, which is a cracker. I suggest you look the term up on the web, before you make judgement on kraemer and start pointing the finger to the real racists... the hecklers.

While I'm very disappointed with Michael Richards, I think a ban is probably a bad idea.
His movies and television appearances are collaborative efforts, and banning him would also hurt others who do not share his views.
Of course, I suspect he has already been black-listed from comedy clubs, movies and television programs.

Get over it, Seinfeld has been off the air for like 8 years so I don't think they care if you watch anymore, oh and sell back the dvd you got off eBay? well since the guy that sold it to you already gave Kramer his cut I don't think he'll mind.

Is this a question or just a statement. I really have no comment on what happened, I just think it's a shame what celebrities have been doing recently that's getting everyone all heated. Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, and now Michael Richards, it's just a shame.

Just like jessie jackson -- calling NY hymietown, cheating on his wife, kids out of wedlock. Richards apologized. He does not have a history of racism like jessie jackson or mel gibson. Time to move on and not have another chip on your shoulder.
NOT TO MENTION THAT YOU DID NOT EVEN ASK A QUESTION!

Have you actually heard the full tape? - as shown over the 'net, if you Google it.
Enough is enough. If you choose to be offended, by all means, be my guest. I'm sure after this incident cools off, you can find someone or something else to get you all hot under the collar. And I bet it will be really easy for you.

Oh God, come off it. He made a mistake. Big deal. Are you saying you have no prejudices? I'm not condoning what he said at all, but get over it. He said he was sorry, what more do you want? Don't you think the blacks who were calling him a "mother effin' cracker" should apologize too? Save the dramatics for something that actually affects you.
