"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.

46. I think TMZ is trying to help get this out of their systems. Racial burn-out! That way racists can move-on to more productive things instead of worrying so much about so little, at the end of the work day.

48. I do not hate anyone for calling me cracker, effects me none. It's a word. If it's meant to be mean, it doesn't work. I have standards that words can't penetrate.
I respect myself and where my life is going.

50. I'd say Martian lovers would be a good thing based on their track record, your point?

51. I think when the black people can stand as proud as the Indians and work as hard as the hispanics and get an education like the whites, they will have a new found breed worth breeding.

52.
The lazy low IQ black man tries to make racism toward blacks & others fashionable & they wonder why the radical hate toward them?

As a black man - I could care less if you call out the N word - wake up black boys - raise your kids & get smart & get wealthy & stay drug free.

54. As a comedian he should have been able to handle hecklers. as a black person i have been places with white friends and someone in the crowd who had to much to drink who otherwised smiled in my face at work said mar is a Ni_____. i think to say something racist iis lettting your anger get the best of you, you dont have things under control in your life.

he is forgiven just learn from your mistakes. its easier to come out with something derogatory when your in the majority. As a black person i learned diversity training when i was born.

The reason you aren’t offended by the term cracker is because it doesn’t have any meaning to you.
Cracker is based on slaver foremen using bullwhips to discipline African slaves, and the sound the whip being described as 'cracking the whip'. The foremen who cracked these whips were thus known as 'crackers'.
To say that N*gger is just a “word” is ridiculous coming from a white person … you can’t understand the word because it has no personal meaning to you.
