Why are people making such a big deal about Micheal Richards comments? What's the big deal?

Some people (although I do not agree) that the club booked the act and so they have a certain responsibility to their patrons to return their money or apologize to people that came to the club for a good time. \n\nAs I said, I don't agree with that. I think the club's only responsibility at this point would be to bar Michael Richards from ever appearing on their stage again. Unless public opinion changes, I believe that allowing him back on stage at their club basically condones his attitude and his conduct.

The man is racist pure and simple and the worst kind at that.  \n\nHe is the kind that is lays low, the one that will hurt you when you least expect it.  I prefer the ones who show me hatred upfront.\n \n\nHis lengthy diatribe was not spontaneous at all.  Those were his  thoughts before he vocalized them in a frenzied rant.\n\nHis apologies were not sincere either, he's sorry he allowed his true self to show on public TV, is all.\n\nAnd make no mistake - whosoever makes excuses for him are JUST LIKE HIM.

I saw the whole thing. Have always admired Jason Richards skills in acting on the big screen, TV and Broadway. This was a very sad sight to see. Why does anyone need to use racial slurs to get a point across? Would have been better to have ignored the hecklers. That would have taken the better person. I sincerely hope he is sorry for what he did.

I have gotten some nasty, small minded, ignorant comments.  One guy in particular stand out as being a complete "Penis"...\n\nBut, the way I figure it, Karma will bend him over and rape him in the rump with a rolled up newspaper...  so I don't really sweat it.

It was a little more than that...\nIt is starting to come out that Kramer was heckled for over ten minutes. One of the things that was said to him was, "you aint funny nigg a" then when kramer replied with a witty retort the heckler replied with "You don't know me nigg a, Don't fuc k with this nigg a".\n\nIt also is being reported that the black guys who were calling kramer  nigg a and threatening him were also threatening the people who opened up the show for Richards..\n\nReal innocent victims...? Seems like two punks who should've been bounced out before Richards ever hit the stage..

I'm guessing that you heard of that guy from Seinfeld and what he did to some black guys during his show at the laugh factory? Well watch the full clip on TMZ.com those black boys were throwing out just as many ant-white slurs as him its not right i mean the media is only covering one side ya he should not have done that but that does not give them the right to do it back and they need to own up to it.

Well, since I'm telling you I am bold enough to ask it.\n\nWhat is wrong with you people? I've never heard of more stupid, ridiculous, hateful, or prejudiced things in my entire life than on here! You honestly think that one negative comment or stupid remark is going to change the way someone thinks???\n\nWow, I feel better now. Thanks!

The reason why you are seeing so may posts that are essentially "HA! In your face republicans! How do you like me now!?" Is because those people are gloating in a 'win'.\n\nThe ***overwhelming*** majority of the posts that I've come across like this don't have a ***real*** question any where in the "question". It's just folks gloating. No new information. No legitimate request for information. Just gloating.\n\nYou see this ***same*** type of behavior when rival sporting teams compete. The fans of the winning team will gloat and say things like "How do you like those apples?"\n\nIn point of fact they are not intrested in even the slightest way shape or form how the fans of the loseing team feel about apples.\n\nIn short... let them gloat. None of this will matter in any real scence until 2008. For the time being it's pretty much status quo and gearing up for the next big thing.\n\nHope this helps!

the guy screwed up, what he did was just plain wrong, and there is not alot he can say except to appoligize and keep a low profile for a while.\n\nTo piant the guy as a "racist" over one incident is more than I care to do. Folks screw up,..at what point is the pennance paid? Besides,...I am more concerned with the racist that I do not see. Just me,...your mileage will vary.

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

I don't really give a shite mate, I was just being disaggreeable for the fuck of it. Aint that what this is all about? You certainly got a lot of people squealing. I don't aggree with censorship especially on a site like this, although, your joke was a bit crap wasn't it? Keep 'em coming!

The anwsers  to this question are a joke!!!\n\nKramer was heckled for over ten minutes. One of the things that was said to him was, "you aint funny nigg a" then when kramer replied with a witty retort the heckler replied with "You don't know me nigg a, Don't fuc k with this nigg a".\n\nIt also is being reported that the black guys who were calling kramer nigg a and threatening him were also threatening the people who opened up the show for Richards..\n\nThe only thing people can have on him is the comment he made about "If it was 50 tears ago you'd be hanging upside down with a pitchfork in your a*s That crossed every line there is to cross and was highly offensive!! But you know what though....If those clowns had just shut up and watched the show none of this would've happened!! I find it funny that no one thinks these "Vitcims" bear any responsibility about what happened!!\n\nHeckling and threatening every comedian on the stage that night tells me these punks were looking to be a problem and I don't think they deserve a dime!! Kramer gave what can be chalked up as a human response ..He just had enough of their noise and snapped!!! I'm guessing the people anwsering this question have never got mad about anything in their lives...And before you get into any of the  "I get mad and never say things like that" That's why it's a human response.....Every human is different..

Mark Cuban; 'nuf said.\n\nHave seen him, have been to Dallas, have read his blog. He insults many, but mostly is just an embarrassment to Dallas, and the Mavs, and certainly to the NBA and USA. Watch as the league takes action on him. He's out of control, and sets a poor example to impressionable young people. Oh, and it seems like you're the one that hasn't gotten over the season. Most other people have.

Chris Rock does it all the time.....no one says anything. The other black comedians do it and no one says anything. I admit that Michael Richards was waaaaaaaaay over the line. But let a white comedian even hint at the "n" word or something close to it and whamo! he's automatically a racist. Sheeeeesh.

My 1st reaction is to give it right back to 'em, but then I think, this is gonna come back on me cuz snotty/SNOOTY people seem to "run in packs". After 1 very public personal attack <on me>, I've really tried to 'disconnect' a bit. It's easy <and CRAZY> to let people ya don't even know get your goat.

A. Responding to people like this only gives them power.\nB. It isnt your job to forgive or not forgive Kramer. First of all, you don't even know him, and besides, that's god's job\nC. Why would you try to punish the other actors, writers, etc . . . for the bad behavior of Michael Richards?\nD. Seinfeld is over, and the repeats are immensely popular, so there is probably nothing you can do\nE. In this country, we have been given the freedom of speech. In order for you and I to be able to say the things that WE want to, we must also, sadly at times, allow all others to say the things that they want to say, even if we dont agree with them. It's not freedom of the speech we agree with, its freedom of speech, period.\nF. If you have to force someone to apologize, its not a real apology anyway. My thought is that he wouldnt have said those things if he didnt mean them in the first place, so any apology at this point would be insincere.\nG. The man is a washed up actor. What he thinks doesnt matter.
