Has he apologized enough? Do you think he should do more? Have you ever watched Seinfield and will you ever again?

What he did was wrong. Why is all the attention on Michael? What about the two rude people who showed no respect. The only reason someone heckles a person is to try and make them lose control. Guess they got what they wanted. Why aren't they being held accountable for their actions?

Hopefully, the people will boo him out of the showbusiness.
I don't agree with all the hoopla that the two guys are making now with Gloria Whatshername, that's stupid.
But Michael Richards is an idiot. His excuse is that he was under pressure and words just spilled out. One would think that at the age of 56 and 30 years in a show business you'd know how to control yourself during a public performance.
He's a bad man. And a sad example of raging racism in America today.
If people accept his apologies, it will only give an example that it's okay to say and do anything they want, as long as they say "sorry" afterwards and point out that their best friends are from the same group they have just insulted and degraded.
I used to watch Seinfeld, I won't anymore. I never thought his Kramer character was all that funny anyway.

Apologies aren't enough he needs to go for some professional help. The crap about being under pressure and words jut split out more crap. You can't pour lemmonade out of a jar that has in water. He had those fellings all the time they just came out now

have you ever seen robin williams deal with a heckler? no streams of racist commentary, just intelligent comebacks that make the hecklers feel stupid and sit down/shut up. i think this was an excuse to let loose on a subject that was obviously building up inside him. it's sad, it's wrong, and it seems to me the man could use some therapy. that being said, this lawyer looking for a lawsuit out of it typifies all that is bad in america. regardless of what happens, there is a law suit. i'll await my subpoena for writing this answer....

Stupidity loud and clear, It's funny that now they bring out he really isn't even Jewish, just pretending all this time. It won't effect my watching Seinfeld, the only reason I watched it was if that was on the only channel that came in.

I'm not a Seinfeld fan, never have been but I am familiar with the actors that were on the show. Michael Richard's little outburst was out of line for sure, hecklers or not. I wondering if he was unable to control himself because his judgment was impaired by drugs or alcohol. You don't usually see something like that, a person's self control will usually stop them before it goes that far.

I think he needs to stop apologizing. He's sorry that his career is in jeopardy(probably already was before)by what he said, not because he hurt Black people.He let his true colors shine by calling those men *******, and now everyone can see that he is a racist. If he didn't mean it, he would have not said it in the first place.

He shouldn't have acted that way, but i have seen black comedians have a field day making fun of white people and overly using the word cracker in the dialogue. But no one yells at them when they start ranting cracker *** cracker. I still think he shouldn't have said most things but people need to realize black comedian do it too and michael was being heckled so he started screaming the n-word that means they were being ignorant, it's not a word just for black people anyone can be ignorant

He's sick; needs help. Makes you wonder how Seinfeld could hang out with that guy. Can you imagine the kinds of things he would say when their kicking back? He yelled at those guys as he spotted them when they walked in-- calling them names-- they were not hecklers, they were responding to insults. That's what witnesses said. The media got it wrong.

I wish it would just go away, and everyone would stop talking about it.
The man made a mistake, because he was being humiliated by the crowd.
Seinfeld DVD sales have gone through the roof since it occured, so it's clear that nobody really cares.
