Probably this incident ended his on-stage presence! Often when people angry, mind shuts off, so does the truth come out???

No one knows!!!

It sickens me that he has to feel sorry for what he said.
Hopefully one day double standards won't exist.

It was posted that Kramer should not have to apologize for his handling of the incident, Well their is double standard all around.
Mel Gibson was crusified for his drunken remarks about Jews, with the most obvious being he was drunk which is still no excuse for his outburst. Kramer was not drunk he was just mad that people though he was not funny.

The difference with Kramer and Mel Gibson is that Mr Gibson actually believes what he said and has genuine anti semitic believes. However, the way that I interpreted Kramer's outburst is a little different. He was being attacked (imagine if someone tried to ruin your career just for a personal laugh) and eventually lost it and went out to just insult the offenders as much as possible. Fair play, imo.

Mr Gibson on the other hand accused officers of behaving in a Jewish manner. Coming from the maker of 'Passion of Christ' that is a very serious insult.

Excuse me that he is a jew not a white man in the first place. Even if he apologized it still shows he has these things in his stupid head. he looks down upon us (non-jewish people). he is a racist. and he has no talent whatsoever. DISGUSTING. Do not apologize, just disappear!!!

Alright, I usually don't log into SpikedHumor, I just like watching the content, but this thread is full of uneasy people who are saying things that make me cringe.

First and foremost, if you've never been to a comedy set, let me tell you something from someone who has watched many comedians. Heckling is damn-near tradition in comedy. Your lucky if you leave your routine without one person trying to press you. I've witnessed comics respond to hecklers by joining in and making fun of themself WITH the heckler. I've also seen some look directly at the heckler and continue the act. Others might get silent and lose their cool but I have never witnessed anything to this degree. No one is supporting heckling, but it's like booing at a sporting event,

The hecklers didn't call Michael Richards a "cracker a** mother******" until after he said the N word multiple times. (View the video again) And it is in us all as human beings to defend our own race, but being called a food compared to a deragatory term which was used to degrade an entire race as an "inferior" is a huge difference. Heck, if I were white and were calling black people by the N word and they respond with "cracker" I would laugh because it really is no competition. The N word hurts more than you think.

The defences stating "black people use the N word all the time" and "black people love calling white people crackers" are about as ignorant as it can get. I am black and I hate the N word, it is an ugly word. I also have plenty of white friends who I would never try to insult. I can also tell you that there are many others just like me.

Michael Richards didn't treat those men as men, but degraded an entire race just because of what a couple men did. I know, if you aren't black it will be seen very differently, and I'm not trying to ask for sympathy, just for people to realize. Imagine this, change the race of the heckler and what do you have? If the man is the same race as you, you can't really do that (unless you hate your own race). Just because a man is a different race than you, something that never had to be racial in the first place is going to be? No matter what race a man is, approach him as that, a man. If he felt like swearing, go ahead, call him a mother******, whatever, but when you start going on about having them upside down with a fork in their a**, that is too far.

My real point is:

People may take my comments to offense and give me frowning faces, negative points or whatever, but just take in mind that (I've said this countless times) a man should be addressed as a man. If you have a problem/issue with me, it is with me, not my race.

But you know what, acknowledgement is the first step. Kramer said what he did was wrong and manned up to it.

Also, kudos and much respect to anyone who notices and reads my entire comment. It'll probably be on the 9th/10th page and it might be big.

I'm almost certain that every single one of you guys that says that this is fake have never even been in front of a live audience, let alone by yourself, OR being heckled by said audience. He overreacted. That is obvious. He knows it, Jerry knows it, you know it, I know it, etc. He was very sincere in his apology.

I'm not a racist but if I put myself in his position, I would have done the same thing.

Another thing: If people want to get rid of the term "nigger", the black people are gonna have to stop using it as a synonym for the word friend.

()utsider you don't understand. You are being ignorant by claiming "black people" (as in all) need to stop using the N word. Not all black people like that word. Maybe if you stepped out of your bubble you would know that.

And if you would do exactly what Michael Richards has done, you are truely a weak individual. If you get so mad at a heckler so as to make it personal and swear at him and degrade his character, do so. (Even though I don't condone it.) But just do it as man-to-man, if your angry at a man, your angry at a man, not an entire race.

There are people who have have a bad experience with one black person and take it out on an entire race, which is what Micheal Richards did with the two men who heckled him. Their race should of had nothing to do with it.
