Yes, he wasn't being funny at all. He was angry and showed his true feelings......But, he has the right to be racist I guess....In the name of tolerance and all. We can toss him into that closet of hate and forget about him. I know that closet is getting full. Just ask the environmentalists or the homosexuals to make room for a fellow racist, bigoted, and hate filled asshole.......Oh, while you are at it, ask them not to prance naked around our city streets when making their points...Gotta protect the children, Ya know?

Compare the treatment Richards gets to that of Mel Gibson. It'll be interesting to see how the media vilifies 'Kramer', and if it reaches the same level. Gibson was drunk, while Richards was performing on stage. Were it not for the video, would he have ever even apologized ?

No Michael Richards will not be villified to the level that Gibson has been. MSM hypocrisy at its ugliest.

Irish people do like to drink and fight. Their motto is no pig to big. Good example Ted Kennendy.
You fog things up. You always have.

"Irish people do like to drink and fight." Now that's funny - talk about racist stereotypes.
Don't be confused now - I'm laughing at you, not with you.

But I'm STILL curious about why anyone cares about either Mel or Kramer. Since you all seem to have an opinion on what - to me - is completely inane - mebee you can explain what's the point.

People who get older go through changes some such as mid life crisis or just a nervous breakdown. Now his mother recently died. I think he just snapped and I listen to a black comic on tv thinks the same thing. His mother played in alot of westerns. Alot of people have the stump of biggotry in them thats life. Part of being a Man is grow some thick skin. Family deaths sometimes change people so much it takes alot of healing. Steve Irwin wife is going to take along time to heal. Cosmos's pocket book will suffer. I like bashing Irish people cause its fun.
I like smacken em.

If calling someone a "nigger" made the caller a racist, almost all 'gangsta rappers' and their audience would be racists. My guess is that Richards was just angry and used language that expressed that anger. That's not racism. It is although often ill-advised.
