Kramer's Seinfeld Curses
________________________________________________________________ IF you haven't heard about it by now, Michael Richards (aka Kramer from Seinfeld) was at the Laugh Factory this weekend doing stand-up when he went off on a black audience member referring to him repeatedly as the "n" word. TMZ has a very blurry video of the incident here. As of a few minutes ago though, their poll asking if Richards is racist or not was 60% yes and 40% no out of over 20,000 votes. This may offend some of you...and sorry if it does...but you're welcome to offer you're opinion as well.... But basically, I felt that more is being made over his tirade than should be. It's hard to make too many judgments based on the poor video that was obviously edited...yeah, Richards definitely seems pissed, but I actually felt like his first few comments were just part of his not-so-funny comedy shtick. He's far from the first comic to use racial slurs. I just think that he got frustrated by a heckler and took it too far. And you can still hear a lot of audience members laughing during most of this. I'm not exactly condoning his words...I just think the media is going to jump on this and make more of it than it warrants.
