Michael Richards exploded in anger as he performed at a famous L.A. comedy club last Friday, hurling racial epithets that left the crowd gasping, and TMZ has obtained exclusive video of the ugly incident.
Richards, who played the wacky Cosmo Kramer on the hit TV show "Seinfeld," appeared onstage at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. Kyle Doss, an African-American, told TMZ he and some friends were in the cheap seats and he was playfully heckling Richards when suddenly, the comedian lost it.
The camera started rolling just as Richards began his attack, screaming at one of the men, "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.Attempts to reach Richards' reps were unsuccessful
I wonder what the hell happened...
So, is he now a racist for this tirade?
Can someone use the "n" word and NOT be consdered a racist? I hear that word 2000 times a day....but spelled with an "a" not an "er"....so that makes it okay.
I would say that just using that word doesn't make you a racist...how you actually treat people and your beliefs are what count...
But not in the world of PC...
What he did was obviously wrong...we will see how much crap he gets for it since he is a white male....the black guy in the previous post will get very little if any crap for saying MUCH worse.

What a shame!
Scorpion says---
The survey I looked at asking if
Richards is a racist said 46% YES--
54% NO.Guess it depends on who would be taking a survey like this,
and where it is located.
no one has said what kramer did was okay, and after actually being able to hear it he sounds insane...
I commented on just the use of the N word...and if using it made you a racist...
As I've said before, considering the N word is actually used by the n's... I don't think it such a bad thing any more. I used to, but like you, I hear it some 2000x a day.
It's just that with the PC crowd, it's okay for the blacks to call the whites as white trash and every other name in the book, and to call each other by the n word, but let anyone else do it, and they're up the PC shit creek.
It's totally stupid.
Apologies to any other race that might become offended. The reality is that even though I've said what I've said here, for many reasons, I'd still rather be in a room full of afro-americans than whites. I just realize the reality of things is all, and am not afraid to voice them.
My point perxactly.
very true and good point
