"Kramer's" Racist Tirade -- Has It Been a Year Already?

Where has the time gone?


It's been 365 days since Michael Richards, previously best known playing Cosmo Kramer on the hit TV show "Seinfeld," unleashed a verbal assault on a heckler at the Laugh Factory that featured the repeated use of the N word.

Yesterday, the Laugh Factory "celebrated" the anniversary with a press conference at the club. Though it was promoted that Michael Richards would be there, he was not.

Perhaps he wanted to acknowledge this day in his own special way.

3. Has it really been a Year since Jerry went on Letterman? Wow, so much has happened. His dummying up to rescue his friend, being named as the richest entertainer, greasing the way with Oprah for his Plagiarizing wife to push a cook book, the Shoe payola back to Oprah, the stupid Bee Movie, the tyraid on Letterman about the original Author, the getting huffy with Larry King.

Its been a Great Year for Jerry, with all Thanks going to Michael Richards for starting it.

Idiots the both of them

4. He was jerk to say those things, but to hate a person for saying something is harsh. If he is truly sorry, and has really thought about what it is inside him that harbored those racist sentiments than he should be forgiven. Many African-American hip-hop/ rap artists use hate as the backbone of their paycheck. Should we all say F**k them? Murder seems to be the ultimate example of hate, yet they portray a world in which that is acceptable, a goal to attain. This is just inflammatory old news.

I propose Trigger as the new & improved N word - it has a bit of funk - it is snappy - it may be a horse's name & everyone likes horses.

MIchael was just speaking the truth - Sharpton & HiJackson & Adams & Bonds & Simpson & Obama - are all as part blacks eager to be racist & to interrupt your masterful comedy set @ the Comedy Store - 6'-8' cell for them all - Amen.

8. This will be with him forever...permanently attached to both his conscience and attached to his image by the public.

He hurt millions of innocent people when he verbally attacked that young man. When you use racial slurs, even directed at one person, you attack an entire race. This is the price you pay for that.

9. I said it before and I'll say it again, Richards is no more guilty than the loudmouth trash that was heckling him. If they knew enough to behave themselves in society the whole thing would have never happened in the first place. They started it with their racial crap. I'm tired of the lame excuse that "the man is keeping us down". YOU are keeping yourselves down with your ignorance and foul low life "music". Stop acting like animals and hiding behind the racist excuse! Have a nice day Drew! :P

"Affirmative" action is the true USA racism - racist & sexist against Caucasian men.

The low IQ low class liberals are too 50 IQ to figure it out from the barrios & ghettos & San Quentin's of their STD lifestyles - viva le Richards!

14. To Kasey: You're a jackass with the IQ or a sock puppet. How would you like it if someone called you whitey? Or, cracker? Or, white trash? Or, redneck?
