Usually, most comedy clubs will ask a patron to leave before one of their headliners explodes out like that.

Looks like Michael Richards didn't give them the chance to intervene.

Oh Oh, he said the N word.

I'm not going to judge, because there is obviously some context missing from the video. But still, Shocking!

wow, that was bad, I am shocked.

The guy was acting with an attitude very cohesively related to acts of anyone of any race who would be expected to act that way, had he been a white man one would have thought him to be a white trash honkie for interrupting a show that everyone else had come to enjoy, like Chris Rock said nigga's come in all colors, not just dark chocolate you got as many pasty pale nigga' honkie white trash motha fuckas as you do brown and beige and mullatto and burnt umber and etc...and for those of you who are shocked you have to ask yourself "Am I shocked because I assume thats how I should react or am I shocked because their is violence in words." You know, whatever happened to sticks and stones, but cracker-ass will never hurt me?

To me it's more shocking that it came out of his mouth, if another comedian would have said it I wouldn't be as shocking.

All of them would shock me.
Trying to think of an actor who wouldn't......Andrew Dice Clay wouldn't shock me, Stern wouldn't...

YEa, I always though of "Kramer" as that wholesome humor. As Kramer he was totally hillarious without the need to be vulgar or insulting.

This seems way over the top for him.

I didn't even know he did standup comedy, is he any good?

You could tell he knew he screwed up.

Hell Yeah! They deserved it, and they retaliated with "cracker ass" which is just as racist as "nigger" so get over it. Kramer is my new hero.

If they don't like it, they are free to leave.
There is too much politically correct shit these days.

Prior to Seinfeld he did Standup. He was good. He played the same sort of neurotic paranoid character in his routine. Hillarious stuff.

I'm sure there's more to this story than we know. Perhaps he's under some serious personal strain?

Totally out of chatacter for him.

George Costanza saying that wouldn't shock you would it?

I still like him, although he could have come back with a better comeback than that.

There are times when a certain event should be private, for all we know he may not have a prejudice bone in his body. But they are going to make this a even bigger deal than it is already.

But then again I didn't see a black guy on Sienfeld....

Not really, but I would have loved seeing a Sienfeld episode with him saying that and then try to get out of it.

So he said a word, thats all it is, a word...it's not like he's out everyday protesting that black people should be shackled in chains and forced to pick cotton...no he just used a word to accentuate his anger and we all know he must'a been because on top of heavy accentuation was heavy pronunciation and boy if he'd have yelled "CRACKA! CRACKA! CRACKA!" the same way at me I'da been shakin'

Kramer's lawyer was a black guy, there was plenty black cats on that show...

Whoopdie-fucking-doo.

He still said nigger less times than Chris Rock says cracker in his routine.

Damn straight. I say let this all die out, but it won't. Kramer hates niggers is all over the various flash forums I visit. I already know 3 big nerd forums are working on flash movies staring Kramer. I think one is called nigger dearth.
There will be animated gifs galore.

Yeah that's what I figure too.

Everyone is going to start calling him racist and predjudiced and anything else, but to me the worst thing is it's going to show how bad things have become in our country when a man who played one of the most loveable characters on TV can be persecuted by saying one thing wrong...and it's getting so bad that in futures time we will have people reading only from scripts...we will never have speechs off the cuff people will be so afraid to say anything that we'll never get to see who they truly are, just robots repeating a censored script...there's no soul left in America.

Wow. Bet he feels like a jackass, there went the whole place.

Well, he was white and only whites can be racist.

All white people are racist, ok now everything makes sense...

To insult a comedian while he's performing, especially a guy who seems really likeable like Kramer, is extremely rude IMO. He should have just told them to fuck off and leave or signaled to security or something. If I was in the crowd I probably would've said something to them.

Yea but he didnt, and the N bomb is taboo when used offensively by a white man
