"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.

63. Yes blacks, and hispanics have problems within their culture not all blacks or hispanics are poor, and uneducated, but when you have people in America who are foul mouth and uneducated its bad for America, bad for our economy etc..

if you use the N word its has a history in America that the whites from the past used it when thy beat a black man to death for whistling at a white woman or talking back.

i hear young blacks use it and i dont like it i even hear some hispanic kids call each other N_____. in america we can use better words.

64. I dont blame Richards at all, he was being harassed. Who know what they said to him to make him go off that way. They call themselves the N word have for years so what's the big deal. All the politically correctness in this country has gone to far.

65. Please do not call me cracker, I would never whip anyone.
Beaten as a child and not funny. Call me white girl, since everyone has to see me in a color. Why would the black community want to call each other the n-word? I am offended by what cracker means! Why would they want to call me that?(embarrassed)

Would never call a white friend a cracker!

69. I would like to thank Micheal Richards because otherwise I might have forgotten how ignorant and hateful certain people can be. Just reading these comments lets you know that many things still have not changed. But a handful of people does not determine how I deal with any human being.

70. "Youd think them darkies would have a thicker skin" right and your little comment is suppose to help the African American Community acquire the "thicker skin"? Why don't you grow up and get a life!

74. what Mr. M.R. said was terribly wrong but I have been curious to know what the heckler said that set him off.

75.
I forgive the Dog because that was a personal phone call to his son. On the other hand, Kramer actually called a black man and his wife the N word to their face. I can only imagine how the felt paying money to go out on a weekend to be attacked by Kramer. God Help You Kramer, you need Help. Two different things and should be handled differently. Kramer is done. Dog has a chance. Maybe I did her he made another stupid comment. I always thought I was really BLACK, but now I know i'm not. WTF! I want to be buried with the black people or in a cemetery where slaves are buried. WTF! UNBELIEVABLE!
