He's a comical actor, best known as 'Krammer' from the T.V Show "Seinfeld". :)

When someone pisses you off, and you don't know anything about them, the easiest thing to do is to comment on their appearance. Perhaps he is racist, perhaps not. Its hard to say from one incident with strangers involved. I know people who are definitely not racist, yet will make a racist remark when its the only insult they can pull out of the air when they get extremely offended.

Besides, a lot of black/hispanic comedians make more money off of racial differences than anyone else, so racial observations will always persist.

I doubt he's racist and if he is, he's as racist as you or me. Again, imagine if he made light of their weight - what discrimination is that classed as?

Yeah, I tend to feel that everyone possesses some innate racism. I felt really bad for him when the audience laughed at him when he apologized on Letterman. Shame on those people.

After Michael Richards apologized to Jesse Jackson, Jesse Jackson gave a press conference in which he urged people to do two things that will never happen: 1.) stop using the n-word if you are black, and 2.) don't buy the latest Seinfeld DVD.

Ah yes. I remember him now.

I have looked at the video now. I think everyone was a bit lacking in good manners. Niggardly in fact :lol:

PS - I remember someone in US congress got into trouble for using the word niggardly - look it up before you get upset. :lol:

An assistant to the mayor of Philadelphia was fired for using it.

As allways we never here the real story. I know a friend who has an uncle who knows
someone on the net that read on a website the real deal was those blackmen where
there to collect $50000 that Kramer barrowed back in New York for smack. Kramer
told them he would be paid $2000 at the end of the show and he would hand it all over
to them. During the show a cellphone rang that one of the Black men had. Its not
clear at this time what was said but thats when they ordered the drink and the outburst
started. The money they claim they want publiclly is infact the $50,000 he owes for the
smack he bought over the summer.

One theory is the blackmen were told this would be Kramer last show and that his
leg should be broken after the show. This is farther backed up by one person in the
club who heard one of the men say in a low voice during the show "that bum going
home in a wheelchair" Thank God we have the internet to get the truth.

That is interesting. :P

Could you rate, from 0 to 100 %, your confidence that that is what really happened?

Oh 100% :D Thats why he got so mad because basically those guys were ordered to break his legs because his comic acted sucked. He likely thought he was going to get
cement shoes and totalily lost control maybe if he knew only his legs were going to
be broke he would have only said "you people" instead of the "N" word. I'mean two
black guys with no chicks watching a white guy comdey act I do not think so! That was
not a gay bar and Kramer was not Dave Chappell.

This guy knows his stuff!
I mean, I am not going to stop saying the n word as long as blacks do it themselves.
Still, blacks say "blahblah whiteboy" and always refer that a person is "white" and making it seem like a shame or that being "black" is superior to that.
I'd say blacks should shut up about racism when they do it themselves.

why do you refer to 'blacks' as if they were one homogenous group with collective conciousness, guilt and responsibility? Is it remotely concievable that some of them might possess the capacity for individual thought? /sarcasm

on a lighter note -
