Richards Has Angry Outburst at Club
Nov 20, 11:11 AM EST
LOS ANGELES -- Michael Richards stunned a comedy club audience, shouting racial epithets at people who heckled him during a stand-up routine.
The 57-year-old actor-comedian, best known for playing Jerry Seinfeld's eccentric neighbor Kramer on the hit TV show "Seinfeld," was performing at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood Friday night when he launched into the verbal rampage, according to video posted on TMZ.com.
The tirade apparently began after two black audience members started shouting at him that he wasn't funny.
Richards retorted: "Shut up! Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f------ fork up your a--."
He then paced across the stage taunting the men for interrupting his show, peppering his speech with racial slurs and profanities.
"You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now mother------. Throw his a-- out. He's a n-----!" Richards shouts before repeating the racial epithet over and over again.
While there is some audible chuckling in the audience throughout the outburst, someone can be heard gasping "Oh my God" and various people "0oh" after Richard uses the n-word.
Richards performed the next night at the Laugh Factory without incident.
Calls to Richards' representatives were not immediately returned early Monday.
He refused to comment on-camera when reached by CNN, but the network reported that he said off-camera he felt sorry for what had happened and had made amends.
The thing that annoyed me more (in the CNN video) was the black guy acting like he was going to cry because Kramer said the n word. distinguished black fellow please.
This is what happens when you take the word so lightly in the public.
"distinguished black fellow can you buy me some fruit?"
"Why can't you buy your own fruit?"
"I've been banned"
"distinguished black fellow please"
While there is some audible chuckling in the audience throughout the outburst, someone can be heard gasping "Oh my God" and various people "0oh" after Richard uses the n-word.
Yep, Kramer just blew his top.
Though, it makes me livid knowing that the group of people seemed to be calling Kramer "Cracka" beforehand and yet the "N" word gets thrown out and everyone stops in there tracks.
Well he did work for NBC

Really, really pointless dialogue that people thought was funny.
And Seinfeld sucks.
:lol :lol
People are actually arguing about whether this is racist or not? Despite what context you think he may have meant it in, it's pretty racist. Not that I give a fuck though. The man is entertaining in Seinfeld. That's what I watch him for. I don't watch Seinfeld because I agree/disagree with his personal beliefs. What he did was stupid. You have to admit that. It was fucking stupid. But as long as he's not spouting that shit on my television shows, I don't give a flying fuck. And even if he was, I wouldn't give a flying fuck. I just wouldn't watch it.
Bill Hicks is funnier than Seinfeld to you? And people say I have bad taste, wtf? :lolYes bitch.
Michael Richards, The artist formerly known as Kramer uses the word nicca aka ****** several times in three minutes and 30 seconds. He talks of unapologetically killing Black men for no real reason in three minutes and 30 seconds. All he needs is a beat and a Hype Williams video. Guaranteed platinum. Imagine: Young Krizzamer or Lil K.http://blogs.sohh.com/ya_heard/archives/2006/11/kramer_is_hipho.html
His only crime is he's in the wrong business. He should be a rapper, or at the very least, a ghostwriter for a Black rapper. There is soooo much more money to be made in degrading Black folks over music than dry stand up comedy.
