Michael Richards, aka “Kramer” from “Seinfeld,” is in hot water for spewing several racial slurs onstage at The Laugh Factory over the weekend.
Check out what this racist fucker said:
“Fifty years ago we’d have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass.”
Richards continued, “You can talk, you can talk, you’re brave now motherf**ker. Throw his ass out. He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! A nigger, look, there’s a nigger!”
The crowd is visibly and audibly confused and upset. Richards responds by saying, “They’re going to arrest me for calling a black man a nigger.”
One of the men who was the object of Richard’s tirade was outraged, shouting back “That’s un-f***ing called for, ain’t necessary.”
After the three-minute tirade, it appears the majority of the audience members got up and left in disgust.

Damn he really fucked up now. I can’t wait to see the outcome of this one. And to think I actually use to like his ass. Fuck ‘em.
this is incredible. i never found kramer or the show seinfield funny anyways. what an asshole.
dumb cracker
Clearly, a good dose of meds and a healthy ass kickin is in order.
He sure has lost his damn mind.
But what can you say, black people do it all the time.
Not saying its right, I’m just saying.
I really enjoy watching seinfield
My favorite person on the show is Kramer….
Wow…That’s really to bad that he said what he said…
I wonder if he feels bad about the entire situation ??
@ #4 BLK DDS
Yeah, but yt betta make sure he say that syht in private
I would have left too, after throwing my shoes at his head.
I tell you they are getting bolder and bolder these days!
@Bill
Of course the obligatory publicist’s release of his apology is forthcoming.
LOL @#8
Where did we go wrong! Spare the rod…….
I think there is a difference between making a joke and just wildin out on somebody for no reason. If he was a true comedian he wouldn’t have had to resort to insulting people in that way, he could have just made fun of them. It must show just how he truly feels. I hope Seinfeld doesn’t cosign.
Where the fuck did that come from?? At least a majority of the audience recognized that he’s an idiot and left. I’m glad he said what was on his mind so we could see him for what he really is, white people are so angry for no damn reason. A lot of white males in my classes are racist bastards, but they think they are “realists”. I miss my HBCU where i didnt have to deal with these assholes.
Black folks, don’t act all surprised or flabbergasted! This is how white folks feel about us. Get them mad enough and you will see how they really feel.
that’s a huge disappointment. like, seriously, this is probably one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen in a long time.
I read this earlier this morning on another website, and I couldn’t believe what I was reading…so I went ahead and viewed the video, and that shit flabbergasted me.
Kramer has definitely went crazy. I didn’t know he was like that. He completely went off on those 2 guys just because they briefly heckled him. Kramer has been a stand-up comedian for so many years, so he should be used to people in the audience heckling him all the time. Stand-up comedians get heckled all the time…it comes with the job. I think he was really pissed because it was 2 BLACK guys heckling him…not that it should really make a difference. A heckler is a heckler..regardless of what race they are.
But Kramer done fucked up now. Al Sharpton and many others are about to get in his ass…lol
I’m like Tasha Mack (Wendy Racquel Robinson’s character on The Game) “They just not scared of us at all anymore?”
I love Seinfeld and I will continue to watch it on TBS. But that man needs to sit his ass down somewhere.
Is this how white folks act when they fall off? Take it out on the Black man. Aint that a b#@$%?
Somebody better get him before Jesse Jackson starts rhyming on his ass.
Oh gosh, here comes Jesses, Al, Calvin Butts…all the mofos gonna make a profit from this.
Never watched Seinfeld, never thought the show was funny.
Thank you, Richards for saying what’s on the minds of many non-black folks. After a few years, this whole thing will be forgotten. You still have a career since blacks don’t have much Hollywood power and we’re so forgiving. Thank goodness you didn’t say anything anti-Semetic because you’d really be screwed.
Racism is alive and kickin’ in 2006.
Heck, we call each other niggas/niggers/nigguahs so I don’t see what the big deal is. I’m desensitized.
What I like best about this clip is that the black men and women in the audience kept their composure, because, let’s face it, if there was some real “thugs” in their, this clip would have never aired because it would have been an all out ass whoppin’. And like KiKi said, the NAACP is goin to dig all up in his ass now!
#5 BILL I AGREE I WONDER THAT AS WELL, SO SAD AND SO TYPICAL…
my husband was telling me about this, I think deep down every white person feels the same way, they just smile in your face but deep down they wanna say the same thing. This dude was probaly drunk and it all came out. Not surprised, they are all predjudice and they want all of us black folk to go back to Africa.
I was once told that no matter how cool you think you are with a white person, if you piss them off bad enough, they will call you one.
#4 you are right.
It’s too bad that he lost his temper like that but that’s what he did – he lost it. Everybody gets angry sometimes and says things in the heat of the moment. The guys in the audience were being disrespectful. Funny how in the video we don’t catch what happened BEFORE he went off. His comments were directed to the men who were heckling him – not to the entire black race.
Bill I enjoy watching seinfield too…although a lot of people don’t like it…i’m gonna have to watch this video and see whats goin on here….why is there always some drama ova that N word!?! Why can’t we all be classified as niggas that way no will be offended…lol
I’m not desensitized. I am offended. It’s all about intent. Richards was malicious in his intent and delivery. We can’t start letting shit like this slide. Yeah it may be FORGIVEN in a couple of years but I damn sure won’t forget it. Hell, I’m still looking for that baseball player John Rocker. Yeah I didn’t forget about his racist ass comments.
You know when I first saw this in my email, all I could do was laugh. But I was shocked too. He’s just showing his true colors Someone said it best…”this is how they really see us.” But don’t go blaming the “white man”, Michael Richards is not white he’s jewish. If he felt that comfortable spewing that racist rhetoric in fornt of blakc people, I can only imagine what he said on the Seinfeild set, and in front of is jewish and white counterparts.
here’s video of his live act..he’s NOT that funny as a standup comic…

….I can see why The Blacks in his audience started to heckle him..He’s corny….
Part of Comedy is dealing with Hecklers….
Those Brothers must have REALLY been riding him, huh…
I feel the same way as Brian
I really like Kramer (and I like Seinfield).
It’s always so shocking & dissapointing when I find out how Caucasians REALLY feel about us….
@girlblue and others. it’s really not his use of nigger that most offends me. i have a sense that most (yes, most) white folks use this word to refer to blacks in spaces where they’re comfortable doing so. nonetheless, there’s no discussion to be had about the fact that blacks use it–this is completely irrelevant to what it means for a white man to use it. and when a white man says ‘well, why do blacks use it?’ it’s not because he cares so much for the way in which we regard ourselves. he wants “permission” to use the word. period. please give me an instance where it’s acceptable for a white man to argue for the right for him to use that word.
what I AM most offended by is richard’s reference to lynching–i.e. “50 years ago…” this coming from a jewish man is particularly disturbing. shocking? no. sick? yes.
just watched the video, that was TOOO BOGUS!!
What an INSECURE BITCH!!!!
Actually, the shit is only funny because Kramer’s feelings were clearly touched and he went off on a racially insensitive tirade, similar to a whiney 5 year old. Fuck him!
And people talking about the black folks should have rushed the stage, fuck that!! They should have stayed there and continued to taunt his insecure ass. I love seeing people get mad when it’s unwarranted because it only makes them look like the bigger fool, especially when the other party doesn’t appear the least bit phased.
Now, apparently, Kramer has already apologized, but as far as I’m concerned he can keep that shit. Say what you mean and mean what you say and clearly he meant that shyt from the bottom of his ugly heart. Now, I CLEARLY do not respect racists in the least sense, but I have more of a tolerance for those that keep it real. Closet racists are a lot more cunning and do more damage, which makes them dangerous. Half of the time you won’t even realize that you’re being discriminated against until after the fact.
But with that said…..Middle finger salute to Kramer.
The problem is alot of people think a nigger is a racial slur to a black person. The actual meaning of a nigger is an ignorant person who has no knowledge of themselves. So there is a nigger in every race, including this white nigger.

I don’t have anything new to say, but I’m mad as hell.
How dare he?
I read this on another website also. I’m not surprised by the way he acted. But I think that the Laugh Factory invited him back the next night despite his racist comments the night before. Any club that had some sympathy would not have done that and should not have done that. I say boycott the Laugh Factory.
#22: Being Jewish is not a race. It’s a religon AND an ethnicity depending on how you use the term. But, a Jewish person’s RACE is still White. So, yes, Micheal Richards is white.
In any case, this is way worse then the Mel Gibson tirade. But, I betcha anything it won’t be as big. And not just because Mel Gibson is more “famous” than Richards. But, because our society is actually going back in time and becoming more and more racist. Already white people on other blogs are saying it’s about time that a white person called a black person a n*gger.
History does repeat itself. I guess America wants to go back to Jim Crow days.
#20 you are so completely off-base it’s pathetic.
How can you make a comment about ALL WHITE FOLKS just because one guy went crazy onstage?????
People like you are the fucking problem! And you complain about whites lumping all blacks together.
White people usually use “nigger” when they are intensely angry. They may say it even when in their hearts they don’t have anything against black people in general – just whoever pissed them off. Kind of like when terms like “cracker” etc. are used.
The politically-correct fascists will never be able to turn people into robots. People are human and sometimes they get mad.
Oops, I should have added that I copied my comment from another board I had posted it on. Just in case anyone gets a little confused with the language.
‘Wow!!! It only takes a matter of time for the white klan hat to come out of hiding. I swear the more steps mankind progresses, the more steps we take back
Sorry, my comment was directed at #25.

Makes no damn difference whether or not he’s Jewish, Latino, Mexican, White, Arabian, or a damn Floridian…….he still seen them as NIGGERS.
He probably had a little “liquid courage” with a extra shot of Hennessey (sp? – not a drinker) and decided to let loose.
Very numb about the whole thing. Didn’t feel like watching the video. It will be played a 100 times on TV.
Furthermore, no offense to the above mentioned ethnicities.
Black people stay strong!
Just stating my opinion.
Incidents like this is nothing new.
Moving on…
what’s even sadder, is that if you peep that some people are still laughing even after he said “nigger.”
With that old ass hairstyle and clothes he could past for a bigot.
The Martin Luther King Jr., National Memorial is a planned memorial, spearheaded by Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, to be constructed in Washington, D.C. as a permanent testament to American civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. The memorial will have three underlying themes: justice, democracy and hope — highlighted by the use of water, stone and trees respectively throughout the memorial.
King will be the first African American honored with his own memorial in the National Mall area and the third non-President to be commemorated in such a way. The King Memorial will be administered by the National Park Service.
The Ceremonial Groundbreaking for the Memorial occurred on November 13, 2006 on the National Mall.

@Bill, I’m an AKA Skee-Yo! (if you look closely, you can see my pinky. but i don’t want to turn this into a greek shout out site so i’m just gone leave it at that.)
You know what’s funny? I have actually given out 777-9311 as my phone # a few times. I’m 28, but a lot of guys my age don’t know about Morris Day and the Time.
[In my best singing voice] 777-9311. I wanna spend the night wit you if that’s alright!
i never liked seinfeld
DAMN! And I liked his ass too.
I think he was so bogus for acting like that! reguardless if the guy interupted his act or not that was un called for! I have never been a Seinfield Show fan anyway! I will never watch any movies/shows he will be on in the future! @43 i agree!
@46 Ray Damn, you just gotta call me out like that?
I don’t want to be feared, I want to be respected. In a Bronx Tale they feared Sonny and someone blew his ass off.
I’ll pass on being feared.
Reese,
You hit the nail on the head. This incident will not get as much media attention as the whole Mel Gibson arrest situation. And you know why? Because Kramer devalued black people and Mel Gibson devalued Jews. This whole thing happened last weekend and we are just hearing about it. Mel Gibson wasn’t home from jail yet and we knew ALL about it because the media had a fit! Jews control the media and put their spin on things. I aint mad at them but we have to hold ourselves and our race in just as high regard as others do. This behavior in inexcusable and this fool should be held accoutable.
Happy Monday Yall!
Reese Judaism is the religion, Jewish is the race. Get it right before you try to check me. And yes there is a difference. Whites in general come from Europe, while Jewish people come from places like Egypt, The Arabian pennisula, as a matter of fact if you go furthure into history you will see they are spread all over the place.
I don’t even know what to say that shit is just crazy. I guess they feel if some of us are comfortable with calling eachother Ni**ers then it’s okay for them to call us Ni**ers.
It isn’t the N word that disturbs me the most it’s the fact that he referred to lynching. That takes it too another level.
Well…
With the whole OJ Simpson situation
***Which CNN & Fox TV played NON STOP on TV this weekend…
I guess we can now relax from being embarrased about OJ, because Kramer is going around calling blacks niggers….
I feel like this:
If I every ran up on a Racist person and they used that word to ATTEMPT to describe me or ATTEMPT to insult me, I would just laugh in their face….See, you can call me a nigger until your blue in the face because That word does not describe ME..
Here in New Jersey, we hear that word used often by others (Mostly Koreans & people from India)
One can’t really offend me with words…
People can say and think whatever they want..
It’s how YOU feel about YOURSELF on the INSIDE that COUNTS.
But I digress, my whole point was summed up in what T HE said. #53, they control everything and that includes the media. Trust me Michael will get off with a pat on his back.
#23, Nigger is an ignorant word and who wants to be an object to it? I won’t say I have never made a funny racist comment because I have many of times. But this was out of line. You could see the same racist shit on comic view, though. Black comedians talk about whites too. So, don’t go through calling people rasict when we have all did it one time or another. But I wont be connected with the word nigger, if that’s the case then every racist will be a nigger. Nigger is not my name, it’s LOVE get it right.
But I digress, my whole point was summed up in what T HEN said. #53, they control everything and that includes the media. Trust me Michael will get off with a pat on his back.
