Your english is fine. Far better than my spanish.\n\nYes, racism and ignorance is a problem in most countries in the world, including the US.\n\nIs it worse there than others? I don't know, I'm Canadian.\n\nI suspect the problem is more of one of distribution of wealth than simply race. It is a sad truth that even in a world with no racism, its easier for the poor to stay poor and the rich richer. Say you have 3000,000 people who used to be slaves and you free them but give them no money whatsoever. Even if the world is not racist, how likely is it that many generations later those peope are still poorer than those who actually were not put in the said situation? Once you factor in racism, the situation gets worse but, well you know.\n\nObviously there is racism in the US. Is it really the only problem that causes the symptoms one sees? I wonder. If only the world could be a simple place but it isn't. It is not black and white but more grey.

It's impossible to tell what's in another person's mind. Seinfeld was and still remains one of my favorite comedies of all-time and Richards (Kramer) was an integral part of what made the Seinfeld show special.\n\nAfter decades in the business, it is unfortunate that he will be remembered for that single moment in his life instead of the body of work (some good/some bad) that he put together during his career.\n\nTime will be the best test of how this plays out though I'm gratified that he appears to be facing all these issues straight on.\n\nI am hoping that he comes out of this a better man. I am also hopeful that those most personally offended by this might eventually find room for forgiveness.\n\nPeace.

Sure, I believe him..\nAND..\nI don't care a bit about his having made these remarks ...\nI am so sick of this inane insane double standard political correctness I could puke...\nHave you ever watched the comics, black & white, at the Apollo \non HBO ???....Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, on and on and on...\nTotally racist profanity and not one word of complaint from anyone.

There just remarks. \n\nYou might not be racist just because of a remark. \n\nLook at jokes on nationalities-they are just jokes and many laugh. Or jokes on men and women-we laugh. But they could be called raciest\n \n Who ever in post above ,said ba ba black sheep is right-it is how it is perceived.

Not only he uses it, but he also says racist comments. I don't know how long they are going to tolerate him, maybe another month if the time they took to ban CherokeeHo is any indication.

i don't think richards is racist and i thought those two assholes got what they deserved. richards reacted the way most people would when they are being heckled. he went and got even! i do believe richards went too far when he made those comments about hanging blacks. \n\nthose two idiots were just desperate for attention and they coudn't keep their mouths shut. if u don't like the comedy act shut your mouth or leave! they are only suing richards because they are broke ass motherfuckers who want money and they want to be on tv.

He was real wrong to say those nasty things, but i do not see how money would help anything. what really gets me is that i hear black people say that word and not one person even gasp, yet a white guy says it and they cant believe they have heard that word. Racism knows no color. to the lady who gave an answer addressed to me. I by no means meant to offend anyone. i really did not know there was a diff. i do appreciate you explaining that to me.

Is this a joke?!?!?!\n\nI don't even know if I think this guy is serious or not!\n\nSeriously though, if he is, then I have 2 major concerns\n\nOne, I hear some people say only white people can be racist!  Ha!  Watch this video if you believe that\n\nTwo, people actually clapped for that!  \n\nMy goodness, what a world

as an educated muliracial woman, i am offended by such comments.  i think comments like this are ignorant.\n\ndoes the person who says this mean to say that black is a behavior and that white is a behavior?  and if so, then that means that to be black is to be stupid and loud and to be white is to be intelligent and proper.\n\ndoes the person who says this mean to say that black people can't be smart, and that white people can't listen to rap if they want to?\n\ni think it's a disgusting comment and the people who say it have no imagination.  anyone can be whatever they want to be.

YES!!! People are used to his way but are scared to say anything because they don't want to be "racist" because he is of Spanish decent. He has lived in the US, even became a US citizen so its OK to have an opinion but when your in front of millions of people you need to have some type of respect towards other people. No matter what!!

thelongfella:\n\nYou are a piece of shit racist. Yahoo answers is not to be used for racism. I am going to report you.\n\nClearly you are white trash...ignorant, probably failed high school...

I think there's a lot of joking about black people that is accepted (along with other races) but Richards was just vicious and way out of line. I'm not sensitive about race, at all, but when I saw his video, I thought, "WOW!".

I dont know but of course they arent accountable for their actions. Apparently its ok to harass someone when they are trying to give a performance. Im not a fan of the comedian or of the Seinfeld show and its former characters but I do think Richards wasnt the only jerk in this.

I think racism is classified as any derogatory remark towards a person because of skin color, nationality, or ethnic background. If you discriminate against a person because of their background or make harsh remarks regarding their ethnic background, it is racist.

I haven't see the users question .the fact that so many of you is offended means the question must be pretty bad..i don't think reporting him is the answer .it'll be far better to do as you are doing now and voice your displeasure.to their questions .when they see that they are not getting the response they want .in time they will stop and move on .thank you for apology.i'm black and i'm not a spokesman for the whole race .i can only speak for myself .and my view is this .someone saying hateful things on a computer site can't hurt me .if you read my name backwards that's what i think of people like that ...once again thanks for the apology but  there's no need .you can't be held accountable for the whole white race anymore than i can for the black race

In the very last episode, when they were sitting in jail, the last conversation they had was the same thing about the button.\n-The backwards episode "The Betrayal" is based on a Harold Pinter play, "Betrayal", which also uses the same gimmick. Sue-Ellen Mishkie's fiancée in the episode is named Pinter in tribute to the playwright.\n-In the episode where Elaine dates a man named Joel Rifkin, she tries to have him change his name, since Joel Rifkin is also the name of a man involved in a notorious New York City murder case. One of the initial suggestions for a new name was O.J. This episode was shot in 1993, a year before the O.J. Simpson murders.\n-Jerry Seinfeld turned down an offer from NBC that would have made him $110 million for a tenth season of the show.\n-In some episodes, when exterior shots of the fictional "Monk's Diner" are shown on 2 sides, you can visibly see the real name, Tom's Restuarant.\n-George's
