Michael Richards aka Kramer talked with David Letterman (via satellite) yesterday to try and clean up his now fucked up image. Of course he delivered a weak-ass apology and talked about how he lost his temper or some shit. Sorry homie, your true colors came out that night.
And why is that audience laughing so much? This is far from funny.
Uh yeah okay. What eva. Dave asked him the hard questions though. Did ya’ll see it? He didn’t let him off that easy. Still, it wasn’t enough.
#1 F–K YOU Karmer
Also, how dare he bring up Katrina? WTF? **sighs and shakes head**
Let me tell you all something; when you get heated up or even drunk, your TRUE colors and feelings come to the surface. You better believe that whatever he said that night, he believes and has said privately MANY times. That’s real!
Michael Richards aka Kramer:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKK
YYOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I’m not a racist” …WHAT a JOKE!
I confused here…
WHY is he apologizing, I SAW the video
He MEANT that SHIT he said, I would’ve had more respect for him if he didn’t ( MAN UP BITCH !!! )
This IS WHY I HATE Fake-ASS People ( Regardless of their color/race )
Aint he from that show Seinfield?!, troll lookin ass. I KNOW this ugly ass mutha fucka aint tryin to get racist/hateful towards ANYBODY. He aint got NO ROOM…NONE. I dont even like how he bought up Katrina, he need to get stomped out ASAP. Corny ass.
He cant hide it now!, its all in the open!, hes racist…PERIOD. Damn redneck.
IM GLAD YOU POSTED THIS CUS I GOT ALOT TO SAY!
DID ANYONE ELSE ACTUALLY HEAR THIS APOLOGY? BECAUSE IT WAS DISHEARTENING TO HEAR PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE LAUGHING AS HE EXPLAINED THE WAY HE WENT OFF ON THOSE “AFRO-AMERICANS.” IT WAS ALSO DISHEARTENING THAT DAVID WOULD ASK IF KKKRAMER WAS BEIN HECKLED OR IF THEY WERE TALKIN AND DISTURBING THE SHOW…YEAH BECAUSE EITHER ONE WOULD JUSTIFY CALLIN THEM NIGGERS. STFU LETTERMAN!
THAT APOLOGY IS A BUNCH OF DAMAGE CONTROL BULLSHIT. IT’S ONE THING TO CALL THEM NIGGERS BUT TO SAY 50 YEARS AGO, THEY WOULD BE HANGING….THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT. THAT IS COMPLETE AND UTTER RACISM. YOU DON’T GET MAD AND SAY SOME SHIT LIKE THAT. YOU HAVE TO FEEL THAT DEEP DOWN BEFORE YOU SAY THAT TYPE OF SHIT.
AND HE’S MAKING THIS APOLOGY TO THE WRONG DAMN AUDIENCE. THE AVERAGE VIEWER OF DAVID LETTERMAN IS A MIDDLE AGED WHITE PERSON. SO WHO WAS HE REALLY APOLOGIZING TO? SEEMS TO ME HE WAS LOOKIN FOR BACKUP. BITCH PLEASE!
I was browsing through the channel guide last night looking for something interesting to watch, and I saw that Jerry Seinfeld was gonna be on David Letterman…how ironic and coincidental is that? Seinfeld just “happened” to be a guest on the show on the day that Kramer made headlines for the “nigger” situation at the comedy club.
So I knew immediately that Letterman was gonna ask Seinfeld how he felt about the situation, so I decided to watch it. And indeed, Letterman immediately asked Seinfeld about it, and Seinfeld said he was very upset about it..then he said he called Kramer and asked him to make an appearance on the show last night to clear this thing up.
Kramer didn’t even know what to say. He was stumbling over every word that came out of his mouth. I have never heard him stutter like that before. He had soooo much to say at the comedy club, but he was at a loss for words on Letterman’s show. He sounded like an ignorant asshole last night. Couldn’t even get his response together. Fuck his apology..he know he meant that shit…he’s just pissed that his ass was the top story all day yesterday…fuck him. He gets no love from me.
He’s only sorry because he got caught. I doubt he’s sorry for what he said because deep down, that’s how he truly feels.
oooooooooooh Kramer, apology accepted. Yeah right.. NEXT!
What’s in you will come out.
Another moment in our black history…. This is the modern day racism. It’s no longer in your face, it’s subliminal through comedy, television, internet etc… WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Bullshit….
Whatever…this fool is DONE in my book…and I actually liked him…WOW I watched it one youtube and ya’ll should see the racist people on there commenting applause for his lil act…Some man in the audience at the show was cracking up the whole time. And what’s up wit that audience laughing…i take it they were laughing at his weak ass excuse of an apology…but then again maybe NOT!!!
he can break the sharp end of his apology
deep inside of his pasty jew ass…………
game over kramer, aint no way back from this one
This guy is an idiot. He should know that he’s gotta watch his back. I mean, not for a beat down, but while hes out for a nice meal, that NIB$$er waitress or waiter may just give him some “special sauce”.
This guy is Jewish – GOD forbid a black comic hurled anti semetic expletives at a specific audience member. The entire Jewish community would SHUT THAT ASS DOWN.
So, what are we gonna do?
Sad…He sounds like an idiot without a clear thought in the interview. There is no doubt in my mind that he is a racist because you would not say that unless you were one.
You should never apologize for being yourself.
He is a racist. His career is over.
He will never be able to resurface.
Period. Nuff Said.
yeah…. isnt he jewish???? soooo… why so racist?
He will never forget this. He is going to feel sorry for the rest of his unnatural life.
good point #9
If it’s not in your heart, it CANNOT part ways through your lips.
I think the Letterman audience members were laughing because they know that Kramer is a joke and now this fool is trying to backtrack yeahhhh right. They knew he didn’t mean the apology, I mean hell he really couldn’t answer Letterman’s questions head on. And why is dude interviewing via Satellite while his ass is right there in LA, it’s not like he is working right now. His ass could have come to the show and answered those questions in person, but he don’t know what to say because he meant what he said. It is what it is. I feel as though deep down Kramer has always felt this way about blacks, the other night was just the night that it surfaced.
tisk tisk tisk. wat a lame apology. how dare those people in the audience laugh? whether or not they were laughing at his apology or not, it was very inappropriate. that was a serious matter and quite frankly i believe that he picked the wrong show to apologize on. he honestly shud have known better. he shud be ashamed of himself.
idunno. i think he may bemore upset because he got the wrong reaction.
Class A Asshole
NOW….I REALLY WASNT GOING TO SAY MUCH ABOUT THIS SHYT….BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW AT THE END IT WAS GOING TO PLAY OUT….WITH A BIG AZZ DEEP APOLOGY….NOW IF U GUYS SEEN THE TAPE OF IT….THIS ASSHOLE KEPT SAYING NIGGERS THIS N NIGGERS THAT..BECAUSE THE GUY GOT UP AND CONFRONT THIS SITUATION…KRAMER LIL DIRTY AZZ KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE HELL HE WAS GOING…ASSHOLE MAD DUE TO THIS SHYT CAUGHT ON TAPE AND NOW U SO DAMN SORRY……AND YES WTH KATRINA HAD TO DO WITH UR AZZ USING THE NIGGER WORD…IM BLK SO I CAN TYPE NIGGER…BUT EXCUSE ME YALL…BUT WHEN THIS SHYT ALL SUMS UP…..IT WILL TAKE LIKE A WEEK AND ITS DONE…FAR ASS WHEN THE BLK GUY CALL HIS COWORKER GAY ON THE LIL ABC SERIES I THINK..THEY BLASTED THAT SHYT LIKE THEY AZZ JUST FOUND OSAMA….KRAMER BIG O LE HOLE FOR THAT U R…AND SERIOUSLY…..I NEVER WATCH SHYT HE DID…LMAO…
Michael Richards apologized. In my opinion he sounded very, very sincere on the Letterman clip from last night. We need to forgive him and move on; he’s an actor/comedian. I’d be really pissed off if he was a Congressman or Senator or some other person of power. Haven’t a lot of us said highly flamable racist or offensive things (maybe not on some comedy stage)? We need to forgive this guy and move on. If this guy decides to run for Congress one day; that’s when we should revisit this video and what he said the other night.
amen @ 25
and whats with bringing up katrina and the comment about how hes glad black have come together to fight this incident…he must be on drugs…
Whatever, Kramer’s a racist bastard. He can kiss my entire black ass! How you gone say you’re not racist! When you get mad, that’s called honesty, cause that’s when all the true feelings come out, any other time, we’re composed and we polish up and sugar coat what comes out of our mouths. If he wasn’t racist, then there’s no way he would have, or could have, said the things he said, unless they were already rooted within him. Sad to say, when people are mad, and they yell out shit, that’s when true feelings come to the fore.
It’s weird how when the guy on Grey’s anatomy made a reference to call his co-worker out by calling him gay, everybody was calling for his resignation! The shit was even on CNN! I couldn’t believe it.
Now this blatant racist bastard straight up said the “n” word countless times, and made references to hangings and things of that sort, and yet, he’s goes to work the next day like the shit just didn’t happen. And no one seems all that alarm, and i havent heard that he’s banned from that club either! Fuckin hypocrites. I don’t hear people saying he should quit or be fired! All i hear is excuses being made for his racist ass!
That’s why i urge people on concreteloop to be slow to judge people like kanye west and the guy on grey’s anatomy cause they take so much bullshit everyday, and when they do get mad and blow up, the world (sadly, including us blacks) act like they done committed a fuckin cardinal sin! I just remember the comments on here when both those incidents occured, and my reaction at the time was “so fuckin what!” Yet, alot of blacks on here seemed to truly be offended. I fall back when they have their tirads because white people say shit all day, everyday, and have tandrums, and excuses are made for their behavior. But when black people get mad, it’s like they should just go off somewhere and die! Bullshit!
This dumb cracker needs to be lynched! And to think the only character on Seinfeld that Black people could stomach was Kramer…and he’s on some mess like this?! I would love for his car to break down in South Central L.A. – we’ll see who has a fork up their ass! Stupid bastard! So what if people didn’t find his lame ass jokes funny…you can’t run into a wall on stage (like he did so often on Seinfeld), to get a laugh, you better have some raw talent when you talk about getting up there and doing stand-up. Need to sit his lame ass down somewhere! No apology is sufficient, because I don’t believe he’s sorry…I think he’s fearing the consequences.
Koo-Koo for Coco Puffs, I tell ya….
Kramer, if you’re not a racist then slavery never happened. That is why it is good to be a Muslim right now. If he had said some derogatory shit to a Muslim, they’d be plotting how to kill him right now. Or putting up reward for someone to kill him. Killing him would not be too extreme either. You know how many Blacks died behind that name? But Black folks just take in on the chin. I am still waiting for prominent blacks calling for his head.
And he was born in california….goes to show racism is ALIVE today…when you think about it 50 years wasnt that long ago..its deep rooted still 50 years later….
At what gets me is first that he said those nigger comments and secondly it said it to an audience in West Hollywood….the gayest place on earth, where they dont tolerate any form of discrimination….what did he think he was in Georgia and was gonna be applauded…
My parents always told me when someone mentions something to you about your character…jokingly or not…if its the forst thing that pops up in their minds…deep down they really believe it…
This comment has set us back 20 years….
Is Rev Al Sharpton too busy getting a perm? Where the fuck is he? Oprah? Anybody?

@31 spike webb
Your ass must be on that shit! There’s no fuckin way someone can call me a nigger, showing their true feelings, and then the next minute, cause the shit was caught on tape, apology. Kramer can kiss my ass. And you can go to hell with your dumb ass post as well. Forgive him my ass. Bitch just worried about his career, he’s not really sorry, just sorry we found out his racist.
and also
1.He’s apologizing to the wrong people, I mean they’re actually laughing over this shit.
2.I’m more mad at the club that let him come back and do his shows the next night after his rampage
That is a damn shame!
Both him & Jerry ARE doing serious damage control because season 7 of the Seinfeld DVD is being released today, what a coincidence… He can keep his apologies because you can’t hide that type of hate.
I told someone this yesterday. In a month this story will be forgotten about and white America will move on. Already, White people are really not that concern about Mr. Richards comments, (look at how they laughed while he was speaking, even he had to inform them that it was not a funny matter, and they actually applauded this clown at the end of the interview!) My people, black people, ,we need to finally, finally wake up and see what’s going on in this country! Go on line and read some of these blogs and you will see the racism is still present and still relevant! Remember I told you about the two little girls who sing about hate in their songs, well they made BILLBOARD, and are not recieving offers from majors! AMERIKKKA has spoken NIGGERS! Oh by the way speaking of Katrina, (I’m from New Orleans and lost everything in the storm), Did anyone see the U2 Video featuring Green Day? Well in the video they take Katrina news footage of the houses underwater and C.G.I. fake Military Choppers and show them dropping supplies to victims, something that didn’t really happen! WHATS UP WITH THAT SHIT!
@ RUNTHESHIT: yeah you are so right….
There are people who lived through that shit 50 years ago who are still alive today. Can you imagine the PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) this can rekindle within these folks?
Good ol’ fashion damage control. Let’s all move on now, we have bigger fish to fry!
YOU can apologize for what you did. But u can’t Take back Who U are.
But I do say thank U. For reminding black folk that for many, we are TOLERATED not ACCEPTED. Ummm hum.
kind.
So maybe it’s time for blacks to stop calling each other the N word so that whites and others realize it’s not accepatbale. You don’t hear other races going around calling themselves by derogatory names. Ever hear a Mexican call himeself a wetback or a Italian a spick?
His apology was not sincere and all the stumbling over his words just showed that he didn’t know how to apoologize for something that he meant to say. When you do something wrong and you are genuinely sorry you know how to say sorry without stumbling over your words. I was upset that he brought up the whole Katrina situation and when he kept referring to black people as afro-americans. His whole apology made no sense whatsoever. The fact still remains that he is racist and he meant what he said.
HE HAD NO CARRER SINCE SEINDFIELD NOW HIS CARRER IS DEAD! IT WAS WRONG IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE!
#26 The Letterman Show is in New York.
The audiance was laughing because he looked like a stupid jackass trying to apologize. He’ll I had to laugh at him!
Like I said, I hate when white people say some ish they really mean and turn around and apologize…WTF?
I’m at a loss for words. I can’t see any of this cause of the plantation, (I feel so outta the loop!) but when I logged on this morning I couldn’t believe it. I actually thought he was the LEAST funny character on Seinfeld anyway. Fuck ‘em.
@ #9 Ne-Ho For Ne-Yo
Co-Sign.
It appears to me that the only effective way for him to make his apology would be to do so in a strictly black forum. Let him book his ass on the Tavis Smiley Show and face the music for 60 minutes and take some g_ddamn phones calls. Hell, I’d even accept a Larry King Live appearance, which is probably his next step, anyway.
With regard to the acceptance of his apology, I was willing to cut him some slack as I turned this situation towards myself and was thinking, you know I DO have my PREJUDICES, which I think are quite different from thinking that other races are inferior to mine. Perhaps that was where MR’s rants surfaced. But upon closer inspection, we cannot ignore the statement MR made that 50 years ago our asses would be swinging from trees like some Strange Fruit shit. With a fork up our ass, no less.
Mind you, the fork up the ass statement would indeed have sounded funny coming from Chris Rock, but this is some serious shit, people.
But let’s examine this closely; It seems that nowadays clebrities and politicians are not afraid to speak their minds when it comes to race, be they drunk or sober. Correct me if I’m wrong, but there is no evidence to suggest that MR was drinking when he said these things. WTF is going on? Are we regressing?
I’m gonna get off my soapbox now, but there’s one more thing I have to wonder about: Is our accepting of the words Nigga/Nigger/Niggah amongst our own race really helping? Does it really “desensitize” the word? Obviously not, or we’d wouldn’t mind WHO the fuck said it, regardless of color.
KKKRAMER MEANT THAT S*** FROM THE BOTTOM OF HIS HEART. IF YOUR A COMEDIAN YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE A**HOLE IN THE AUDIENCE HECKLIN’ YOU.
***KRAMER CAREER IS OVER LIKE MILLI VANILLI***

#31 I understand that you feel his apology was sincere and u are entitled to your opinion. But you are saying because he is not a politician that his words hold no weight when it does. I don’t go around calling people spics, mutts, crackers, or chinks. Sorry doesn’t always take the pain away. And where everyone has it in them to forgive, do you ever really forget? It seems that something of this magnitude always happens every few years to let black people know in alot of people’s eyes we are still slaves.
**I posted some of this on the other board**
Why are people arguing over the usage of the term when the true crime is INTENT? Kramer said NIGGER with negative intent. That’s totally different from someone like Chris Rock using the word NIGGA or NIGGER with the intent of not to harm or offend anyone, but to simply discuss the racial contrasts that exist in a comedic format.
I mean people can use explosives as fireworks or demolition devices. Or people can use explosives to harm or kill people. Whether you view explosives as being good or bad is purely based on the intent of each individual who uses them.
So yes, Kramer is a racist and he should be called out as such. And no, Chris Rock using the term in a comedic format doesn’t justify Kramer using it with an intent to verbally harm those Blacks within his audience in a moment of frustration.
In terms of his apology, I think it’s too little too late because from my experience, you show your true colors when you’re intoxicated and/or angry. In this case, he said what he felt in his moment of rage. It’s obvious that he’s felt this way for a VERY long time for him to even go that far so suddenly.
And as a business owner, I do a lot of networking and socializing with a diverse group of people. From what I’ve been told in confidence, White people are just as likely to bring up race and how they REALLY feel about other races in a private conversation among other Whites than Blacks are likely to bring it up in general conversation. They may not go as far as Kramer, but they will often bring up how inferior Blacks and other minorities are in their “compare and contrast” conversations. So the biggest crime to come from this is to believe that these feelings and opinions are isolated to Kramer. Your boss, your co-worker, your neighbor, your mailman, or whatever white person you come into daily contact in life may feel the same way overall about Black people though they may feel that you’re the exception.
So be wise to that reality as that is a common held perception of Black people WORLD WIDE and the best way to achieve equality and power in this world is through self-empowerment.
The best part of this entire fake ass interveiw is that he says he is “concerned about more rage and more hate coming through”; translated this means he is scared than a muthafucka that a bunch black folks will catch his ass at a red light, pull him outta his car and throw a brick at his cracker ass.
No matter how much he tries to apologise he just looks like a fool. He said he is not a racist – so where did all that hatred come from? Why the audience was laughing is beyond me, then again who could take him seriously. I love to see him try explaining that to Chris Rock!
If he told a bad racist joke, I might believe that he’s not a racist.
But for him to have said what he said in the manner he said and to have singled out the blacks in the GROUP that were giving him shit about his weak comedy, and turn around and say “I’m not a racist” is bullshit.
He should have just come out and said “Yes I’m a card carrying member of the KKK, I’m sorry you all had to find out this way.
