Letterman Audience Laughs at Michael Richards’ Apology

I know that I’m going to catch h#$l for this, but I am ‘outraged’ out. Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Isiaiah Washington, Rush Limbaugh, O.J., Brangelina’s bodyguards, and countless I’ve missed and others to come. MR will never be invited to my home, as if there was any chance of that, but his nasty words will not hang over my life like some sort of pall. If it did, it might as well be the Jim Crow era.

I am black and not at all offended by what he did. You know why? Because he feels like a whole lotta people-his feelings came out and hey it is what it is. I would much rather know that and deal with it, instead of not know it and support him. You get what I am saying. I actually liked Seinfeld. BUT if I knew Kramer was feeling like that, I would have never watched it. I want everybody to “come out” I want to know just what you think. Then I can decide to spend my money on you or not. This goes for recording artists too. It’s freedom of speech. So let it all hang out. I don’t care what type of apology he gives, I don’t want anything in my home that is associated with any movie, tv show or anything else he has been in or will be in.

Amen b4real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You said it.

Of course he’s sorry….his career is over……what was said was said….apologising doesn’t make it go away……….

He’s sorry. He blew up and send what he knew would dig into the fu(kling a-holes who wouldn’t shut up during his act. If he had called them clowns you think they’d have shut up? Nope. So he said something that cut deep.

Anyone who has been in a comedy club knows that much worse things get said.

Per him getting a “beat down”. I would bet a lot of money you’re in no position to beat anything other than your own shriveled man shame.

As far as someone inventing the mail box…I’m pretty sure we’d have grabbed that one anyway. Tires were not invented by black people.

I like people. Some are black. But if someone was seriously pissing me off and heckling me about being a total failure I’d say whatever made them the most mad too.

People are too sensitive in America. If you want to see where that leads go to England, that place is on the cusp of an all out race war. Americans would be wise to lighten up. The black vs. white thing won’t end well.

And for ***** sake people…it’s Kramer! Anyone who heckles Kramer is an a$$hole. Of course if he had shouted that nothing would have happened. Personally if I were black I’d be more offended by being called a re+ard or an a$$hole than a n!gger. But then again I wasn’t conditioned to be ultra sensitive like a sleeper waiting for the keyword.

Sure, Richards might have been going for the jugular, something that “cut deep,” but there are just some place you just don’t go. Yes, those two guys were indeed ******** for heckling Richards. Why does their being black (nay, “n___s”) have to be brought up; what the heck does that have to do with them being disruptive? A–holes come in all shapes, sizes.

I agree that there is a ramant PC craze here in this country, but being offended by Richard’s comments is notbeing oversensitive. Richards clearly recognizes the gravity and meaning of what he said. If we ever get to a point where it should be okay to say those things, we will have effectively set ourselves back those 50 years that Richards was referring to.

Richards should be fried over this! This is from a person who does not think that “******” should be removed from the vocabulary. I am Black and I use the word. I am from inner city Miami and some whites and Hispanics I know use the term with me. The difference is the intent. If it were used for comedy that is one thing, but this was an attack! This was clearly the case because he talked about what would have happened 50 years ago. Not only that Sinbad said that he actually started on the guy before what we saw on the video. He also stated that the heckling was notat all severe. I am slow to call someone a racist. But in this case - he is.
