Michael Richards Loses it!
 

Kramer goes out of control at a comedy club, not funny at all.

Comedy is a tough gig and I guess heckling is part of the scene. In this case Richards goes too far obviously. It was as if he was trying desperately to come back with some clever lines but resorted to the totally unprofessional material in the video. It was a tough crowd, but nothing a pro shouldn't be able to handle. I have always liked the Kramer character, not as much now!

If you saw his public apology on Letterman a couple nights ago you could tell he was visibly shaken by it. I think the heat of the moment got to him, or he has internal demons to deal with. Either way, while I don't condone his actions I have to give him a little respect for not pulling the typical, "I'm going to rehab until this thing blows over" like so many others in the spotlight have lately.

I was at Carolines in NYC And I got called a cracker, I thought it was funny :). Its ashame cause I don't think he meant to insult them, I think he was just trying to get a laugh, I dunno, either wait the whole thing is sad

It appears Gloria Allred is representing the people who were on the recieving end of this tirade. Not sure how I feel about this.

Why would they need representation? He (Richards) said something stupid; ignore it and get on with your life guys. I wouldn't even ask for an apology if I were them. Racist or not, who cares what "Kramer" says or thinks? Who is he that we should care or worry what he says? You know, "sticks and stones..." He's an actor/comedian, nothing more. Racist people extist. Stupid people exist. People make mistakes. I don't know where Richards falls in these categories and I don't care. I can only control what I think and say.

I think he does have serious anger/self-control issues, but that's his problem.

Let It Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They act like salvery ended yesterday. Please!!! They need to get over the whole thing. Frist off, none of this would have happened in the first place if those black guys weren't messing with him. This entire inccident goes back to the stupidity of the black guys that started it. THEY started it. Then, we have the "he's a nigger!" thing. Alright, alright, he went to far on this. But they all call each other that like it's nothing When we say something, though... that's a no-no? Now the have the black guy yelling 'cracker' at Richards. So they can call us crackers or whatever the hell they want, but if we call them something... the whole world knows about it. That makes a whole lot of sense. Now they're going to sue Richards? FOR WHAT???!! He never used a name, what would he sue for?? Well, in that case, Richards oughta sue that black guy that call him a cracker. It's the same difference.

:mad: :mad:

I'll get off my soapbox now....

Thank you Otto!! EXACTLY!

Relax buddy, lets not turn this into a ''Them VS Us" debate as I dont think thats allowed on these forums. Stop with the stereotypes and the use of "They" to classify black people. Just as not all white people will agree with you using "we" in that paragraph. Not all black people will use the "N" word to refer to one another. Just putting this video on here to show everyone what happened at a comedy club, nothing more.
