We have hesitated posting about the whole Michael Richards, horribly racist comedy act. But I have been personally sent a few tips regarding it. So we posting the actual act, and Michaels response, for you to discuss.

If you are easily offended, please skip this post for the hatred that Michael spews is quite vile.

The “outburst”:

    Wow. I imagine that was quite entertaining to watch as it happened, if you’re not offended of course

  2. Roberto Felgueiras says:

    He’s an idiot, the “mea culpa” seemed forced, the whole thing was a shame and think the best thing he can do is stay off camera for a while. From what I’ve heard he’s always been an ass off stage after the show went off the air.

    wow he really lost it…. agreed though totally uncalled for, I still think the racial tension is a bit rediculious but after seeing this I hadn’t realized it was still alive and still as sharp ……… I would have pulled the inconsiderate a-hole card and avoided the N bomb however.

  4. Jed says:

    I don’t see what the big deal is. Black people have been calling white folks “crackers” and “whitey” for ages on comedy shows and nobody throws a fit. Other than this seems to be done more out of anger than from a comic standpoint.

  5. Don Wilson says:

    Jed – exactly. The black dude during the stand up video called him a “cracker ass white boy”, but appearently everyone fails to grasp the notion that possibly thats as racist as using “the n-word”.

  6. I’m still amused by the fact that people call it “the n-word.” Just for your information: nigger is an actual English word. It basically means to be ignorant. Ironically, those who use it in a racial way are the real niggers.

    Oh, and I think he took that a little too far. I, for one, love pissing people off and offending people, but what he said didn’t even make any sense, and, quite frankly, wasn’t even funny. Also, the man’s response was a bit extreme.

  7. Jimmy says:

    dead white boy

  8. Don Wilson says:

    Matt, you’re absolutely right, which is why I quoted it as “the n-word,” as if we can’t say it without it automatically having a negative connotation.

  9. If you can’t handle/ignore a heckler, then you shouldn’t be a comedian.

  10. Roy says:

    a better appology then John Kerry gave to our “stupid” troops

  11. molotovito says:

    He wasn’t funny. He wasn’t even trying to be funny, or get back at the heckler, like other comedians. He just lost it. Just by the way he used the word is insulting, he was being mean 100%. Come on…you can sense the anger in his words. He lost it….period… and no matter how much he apologizes he will not be forgiven.

    When I heard about this I thought is just a small fight between two guys: they call each others niggers, whitey etc not a big deal.
    But seeing the video I can say its more than that, Kramer try to turn all his public against black people like a mad man. I didnt see that angry and hate since ’60s when they use to kill people only because they are black.
    Very sorry for this guy, I think is got sic after his big succes with Seinfield!

    cheers

    America is sick..
    in Europe you can call anybody anything..
    they will laugh at you, or may cause you nosebleed.. :D

  14. Micro center says:

    hahaaha…. Yeah, why do we Americans have to be so sensitive about just some stupid name calling. yeah the guy lost his temper and exposed the fact that he is nothing more than an unfunny racist who definitely deserves to have is nose bleed. but he is a comedian and he is on stage to say what ever he wants… it WAS nice to see all the people doing the appropriate thing by displaying their freedom “if you don’t like what the guy is saying, leave the show”
