  • Michael isn't racist, i say the 'N' word all the time and i'm not racist and you act like the guy interrupting him wasn't so bad, but it was because it embarrassed him, hes no different then any other comedian he just took a different pathway then most would.

  • AFRO AMERICANS hahahahahahah

  • He's what Neely Fuller and Dr. Francis Cress Welsing is talking about. He's lying and he's not sorry.

  • afro-americans

  • You don't owe any apology!

  • People who get mad over black jokes are the people keeping them alive :D

  • @HomophobicDinosaur and people who complain about rape, is keeping rape alive. have you even seen the incident?

  • @ashkank2002 yes i have seen it and it wasn't Michaels fault, it was the black guy in the crow who should have shut his mouth

  • @HomophobicDinosaur and if someone jump the queue you should shot him/her. because the guy talked it doesnt give him the warrant to go on a racist rant. but you are entitled to your opinion as am I. 

  • I saw the rant. What was clear was that Richards was going for the biggest, most obvious insult possible to the hecklers. It was schtick, it was obvious, and the PC'ers of the world were in heaven. Richards made the mistake of apologizing instead of unapologetically stating his intent and leaving it at that. Apologizing vicariously through Jerry Seinfeld on the Letterman show was beyond the pale and deserved the laughter of the audience.

  • meh... who gives a fuck everyone is a little bit racist he just flipped out and went on a rant, everyone should just remember him for his seinfeld days

  • Judeschweinen

  • he is human shit happens we make mistakes MOVE on well move on welll we move on but then we dnt forgive shit lol

  • i forgive him... he had a momentary lapse in judgement. happens to the best of us

  • @jumar1281 A momentary lapse of judgement, and exposing yourself as a HARDCORE racist are 2 TOTALLY separate things. And THAT doesn't happen to the best of us, it happens to the worst of us who weren't raised properly.

  • hes not racist...

    It could be a chinaman it dont matter!

  • Kramer Lives

  • forcefield...really though?

  • Comment removed

  • die white ppl u and your babies die a slow death

  • @dewege39 Fuck you hater. Eat a dick

  • @CliffyB81 i come to my house and i will eat your dick white coward faggot ass bitch,

  • Racist....

  • He is a good man, fuck the over sensitive idiot that called em out.

  • Michael Richards is a LOSER!

    Afro-Americans? Really?

  • @PhotosByHamza The term afro-american is old, but it's technically correct.

  • NIGGERS!!!! NIGGERS!! MIACHEL RICHARDS HATE NIGGERS"!!! KRAMER NIGGERS!!!! NIGGERS!!! NIGGERS!!!!!! and a jew

  • thats wat u get for upseting kramer u niggas

  • where is the part where jerry goes to the crowd "Hey fuckers, stop laughing its not funny"

  • You can tell Michael Richards was never really the same after Seinfeld

  • you didnt do anything wrong mike. you was pushed and you pushed back. black comics talk shit on white people all the time but when a white guy does it its racist . dont feel bad man you did nothing wrong

  • @faceless1975 ur right but he still didnt need to go that far

  • @faceless1975 disagree. he said it with such anger and in a way that is just unforgivable.

    i'm all for self irony and all, but the way that idiot went off..not cool

  • CALL ME CRACKER, NIGGER!!! LOOK THERES A NIGGER!!!!! NIGGER! NIGGER! NIGGER!

    The apology alone is hilarious.

  • You'll never work in this town again...or any town for that matter.

    Anyone else notice how everyone else from "Seinfeld" (the show), did other things. Elaine (don't know her real name to save my life), even got her own show. It sucks like a Hoover, but she still got her own show. I can't stop seeing George (Jason Alexander) in stuff. Especially loved him as the serial killer on "Criminal Intent". Kramer did a "cameo" making fun of himself on "Curb Your Enthusiasm", and nothing else since.

  • omg this is so fuckin pathetic. Im SO DEEPLY SORRY I OFFENDED BLACK PEOPLE> grow a fuckin pair of balls. im so sick of pussy ass white men who are so apologetic towards blacks. You know how much shit black comedians talk about white people, no one gives a fuck. SO what he called black ppl niggers, thats HIS business. U dont like it? tough shit, quit being so sensitive. what is that word illegal? fuckin pathetic

  • @M3GTR hey jerk, he was caught on the spot, of course this guy had balls, but if he didn't do this stupid apolgy video, millions would have thought the wrong way of him.

  • fuck yo appology

  • AFRO AMERICANS? HES STILL A DICK HEAD RACIST CLOWN

  • hey its the nigger guy!

  • afro americans?

  • cocaine is a hell of a drug...

  • For words to have such an adverse affect on people is crazy stupid. I'm black and I grew up in the Ukraine where the N-word is used by everyone without any bad connotations. People just don't mean it as an insult, it's a word just like any other. What's worse is that Black people will call each other Niggers in front of white people which forms restrictive boundaries and segregation between the whites and blacks.

  • Comment removed

  • Sometimes we have to realize that people will say racist shit because they know it will hurt the other person, not so much because they believe what they are saying.....there's a big difference and I'm not saying it's right, but it happens a lot and it is not always from a "racist"

  • none of this would have happened if that asshole just didn't interrupt.

  • @FOBlink182 are you serious? all he had to say to the guy was "do you mind", or "shut up". The racist language was definitely uncalled for and the fact he used it means these are his views, but accidentally let it out. If it wasn't at the guy in the audience, it would have been at a black traffic warden for giving him a parking ticket later on, or at a black waiter for getting his order wrong. He always had those feelings inside, its unfortunate for him that he had an outburst in public.

  • @FOBlink182 even if he did why come say a something like that

  • @FOBlink182 what the fuck, so what if he did interrupt, racism isnt called for

  • @FOBlink182 none of this would happen if he wasnt racist.

  • @FOBlink182 oh no the guy interrupted him go cry me a river a lot of comedians get interrupted and dont go on tyrants like that they mite crack on the guy but not get racial

  • to all afro americans...

  • Hang them upside and stick a fork in their ass like we all did back in the 50's lol. I think it's hilarious and I'm black.

  • @RIPmyers

    ha ha. It is funny. people get so sensitive.

  • He's jewish, didnt white groups in back in early 1900's hang jews aswell ? 

  • Nigger is an attitude...not a race....so Michael, you're the NIGGER, or "NIGGA!"

  • Some of the comments on this video are hilarious. Richards may not be racist but some of you people certainly are and it's pitiful and hilarious XD

  • You just cany help laughing at Kramer....even when its not funny.

  • lol there were people laughing

  • He said something out of anger, and sadly some people have decided to focus on that more than his nine seasons as Kramer, and I feel sorry for him because of that.

  • what a bag of shit

    

  • I rebuke some whites right now!

  • why do people apologize after they go nuts? i never buy it .... public opinion/image ,i guess...real feelings come out...busted

  • one does not have to be reacist to say things like that in the heat of the moment, you simply say hurtful things that you can think of at the moment

  • Don't apologize to niggers they can suck my cock!

  • @Cupchun I couldnt agree more

  • I Like How The Host Tries To Make Him Feel Guilty

  • This man is not a racist, his lawyer is African-American, his name is Jackie Chiles.

  • @samuricex Jackie Chiles should be upside down with a f*ckin fork up his ass! Fire him Richards he's a nigger. HE'S A NIGGER! HE'S A NIGGER!!!

  • @MrTTaylor25 racist much

  • @samuricex so what? My slaves are black.

  • @samuricex Yeah, but Jackie didn't help Kramer so much during their big trial.  Ha, just kidding.

  • @samuricex My MUM and SISTER are women so i can't be sexist!!!

  • @samuricex WTF I hope you are not serious... who ever actually agree with this comment is stupid, cant believe it got so many thumbs up.. im shocked but it goes to show how slow some ppl are I guess. Interupting someone doesn't give you an excuss for acting racist. Michael Richards is fucking racist stop making excusses for the bastard. also just because you went out with a black person or have a black lawyer doesn't make you a racist, tired of hearing ppl say that stupid shit

  • @hitmancooks123 Dude, the black Lawyer thing was a Seinfeld reference. Jackie Chiles was his lawyer in the show. People make mistakes, and I know he's sorry. Give him a chance. We're human, and sometimes we can make some pretty dumb choices. Nobody is perfect.

  • @samuricex

    Who told you to put the balm on?? I didn't tell you to put the balm on!!

  • @samuricex alot of people that get caught bein racist in the media always try to get a black or another minority lawyer to appear that there not. point being if he wasnt it wouldnt of come out his mouth.

  • @samuricex so basically the concept of what your saying is if you know someone black you cant be racist, so your telling me that America has a black president so that makes no one in America a racist. you do know that Michael Richards probably chose a black lawyer just for the media

  • @samuricex i read that and literally ROFL'd

  • he is a racist pig ahole.. you can tell this apology is not authentic..

  • @tcharmon74 Good. No apology needed. A bunch of loser hecklers. If you are black, and you cannot live with yourself because of this....go pay your fucking child support.

  • @cesar1963able For your information PRICK, I am white.. as for your second comment, go take a long jump off a tall bridge..

  • @tcharmon74 im taking a long dump from my tall toilet seat into a my toilet bowl :)

  • @tcharmon74 The statement said "IF you are black", dumb ass. I did not assume you were. I only assumed you have the IQ of a carrot.

  • @cesar1963able Fighting on the internet is like., Competing in the special olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.

  • @Killuminati911 Exactly. You WIN!!

  • @jasonkim11 Who cares what if me being a black man attacked his whole race and called him every name that isn't common for my race just wrong.

  • """I be wantin some of dat seinfelt muney!!!"""

  • @duffy31311 Your from Detroit aren't you?

  • @CHILLEDKAHLIL I was born on 8 mile rd...nothin to be proud of

  • @MrTTaylor25 that's not detroit bro dexter west grand grand river thats detroit you were at the border

  • That's nice that he's apologizing for doing something wrong. Now where can I find the video of the hecklers apologizing to him?

  • @Emerl1000

    the niggers never did apologize to kramer. they only tried to profit from it. big shock a couple niggers wanted handouts.

  • He's not even racist he was just pissed off that people were ruining his show and wanted to get back at them some how and in his rage he wanted to insult them the best he could so he lashed out and said what he knew would piss them off the most. He only said what he said out of rage im sure the guy has no problem with african americans.

  • he is a good guy at heart. It's as simple as that.

  • After hearing what he said at the club. They're was something about what he said that made me think this guy was illuminati or apart of some time of elite group that hate blacks, hispanics, and poor whites.

    I did some research, turns out he's a 33 degree freemason of the Scottish Rite.

    Why am I not surprised???

  • @JRock005 Hahaha! You are an uneducated moron. Another conspiracy theorist between the Freemasons and the Illuminati? I can't believe I live in a world where idiots like you exist who believe every single thing you read on the internet. Hilarious, to say the least. Masons are black, white, Hispanic, Asian, etc. It's an international fraternity you inbred. If you're just going to flap your yap and not know what you're talking about, you should probably just can it.

  • @pianomanfan1 They don't respect Prince Hall mason neither. All freemasons are not equal.

  • he said afro americans <.<

  • @Kekeisemo1awesome

    Afro-American is a proper term, the suffix afro means having to do with Africa.

  • @GFxLiquidHandcuffsX Prefix, that is.

  • This is a land constructed by Immigrant's look at your history you can tell African American's to go back to Africa but how can the cacasian's who migrated here from Europe claim that this is there land slavery is history and you wouldn't be who you are without history so we can't forget it no matter how hard you try the civil rights movements was less than 50 years ago my mother's older than that so i feel before you say it wasn't nothing research because it is...

  • I don't know how Ron Paul got brought up, but GO RON PAUL!

  • most of the world are actually racists. how else to explain so few black&white marriages?

  • He can say whatever he wants. Freedom of speech. Give them in, Kramer!

  • OK, Mr. nigger-hating Hebe - in the name of my fellow black brothers and sisters, I might consider to forgive ya - but only if you agree to kiss my royal "afro-American" ass and let me take a big honest kosher fart in your ugly face. Do we have a deal here?

  • We all flip at times. I can't say I agree with him, but I will still love him now and forever for his acting in Seinfeld :) .

  • its bullshit, there holding on to this shit to hard, im sorry but slavery has been over for about 150 years and we are well past the civil rights movement so I think they need to get over it we kiss there ass enough as it is anyway, and I want an apology from the asshole that kept interrupting him and from the A hole who called him cracker, that black man just made it even when he said that as far as im concerned, you don't fight racist remarks with MORE racist remarks,

  • "Nigger" has through history gotten the meaning 'Black Slave'.

    Why would it be okay for anyone to say it?

  • This is so funny to me.....attacking ethnic groups who have endured such horrors,emotionally tramuatizing them. The lazy nigger sits under a tree of fruit and is to damn stupid and lazy to pick the fruit. KKK Rallies are 322 good places to hear nigger commedy.....

  • 'I'M SO SORRY I'M SO SORRY I'M SO SORRY,  STFU PUSSY ASS KRAMER. THOSE NIGGERS DESERVED THAT SHIT.

  • cracker is really all that offensive to white people. i dont know anyone who doesnt just want a fight, who would find it actually offensive without knowing its meant to be, if you get me. and anyway it sounds funny. although the 'ack' sound certainly has the makeup of a good swear word.

    until there is an actual shockingly offensive word for whites the word nigger etc. will continue to be offensive because whites simply cant understand it and have nothing to compare to so many still say it.

  • NIGGERS NUKE EM

  • Lol he shoulda just been like "Fuck all y'all I regret nothing! NIGGAAAAS!"

  • @CommunistAngel hardly a communist statement kid...

  • like wale said "nigger" is an offensive word then smart black people turned it into their own by sayin "nigga" then in all the rap songs theres like nigga this nigga that. and alot of white people listen to rap and then they think its alright to say it. nigger and nigga are 2 completely diffrent words everyone should know the difference.

  • As long as you get to drink from the fire-hose I DON'T CARE WHAT ELSE HE DOES.

  • Those black guys went in to the comedy place and starting yelling stupid shit in the middle of Kramer's act and saying things like "This whiteboy sucks" and then when Kramer actually gives them a taste of their own medicine, the fucking media goes crazy and the NAACP demands an apology. What kind of bullshit is that?

  • Everyone loses their temper at some point. You and I had our racist moments. Its harder for people who are on stage. Even more harder for people who are heckled on. Michael flipped out and he's apologetic about it. empathize with him. I am an Asian/Indian and I know people from my country are called niggers sometimes. I think he doesn't deserve the hatred that followed. Watch this video, the man's literally in tears. All his fears of hatred aside, he admitted he was wrong. I hope he's forgiven.

  • @SLee1337 You sir, are the scum of the earth. Let me take back my use of the word sir please, because that makes it seem like you deserve some bit of respect, which you dont. I would love to go into depth on you about how whites have used the black people for years, and how we have led them into any stereotypes that people may believe, but i know someone as ignorant as you cant comprehend these thoughts. If any Genocide should take place it should be against moronic, closed minded idiots likeyou

  • We all need to move on. I forgave him long ago.

  • what the hell??? poor mike! he doesnt has to apologize, hes a fucking comedian, it was ment to be a joke! this shit of the politicaly correct just makes me sick!

  • haah why are ppl laughing in the background?

  • Richards apologized on TV, to save whatever career he has left, but he forgot to apologize to the two guys he degraded.

  • @Ladygagsalot: He doesn\t have to. They abused him back. His apology was because he was racist and insulted a whole community. Get over it lady. The man deserves to be forgiven.

  • I loved him on Curb your Enthusiasm

  • Yawn.....I gotta listen to brothaz talk about the white man every time they get on stage....seriously man.....I don't see none of them suckah mc's apologizing...cracka

    honkeylips!

  • why the fuck is he apologizing for calling a nigger, a nigger. THERE FUCKING NIGGERS !

  • @xdavidx0326 You have anger problems.

  • @xdavidx0326 i also don't get why they can talk shit about white people, but we can't about them.

    Black people are the worst racists of them all, they just don't have the balls to admit it, and love to play the racism card.

    50% of the african americans ought to be shot on sight.

    The remaining 50%, keep it up, you're making your country proud for not being a stereotype.

  • @xdavidx0326 Computers have saved many of you from getting your asses kicked - be thankful bitch

  • @xdavidx0326-We are African Americans and racist like you have no place in today's society.

  • why can't he just tell the truth and be a man about it?he was a child growing up in the 50's,it was a different time,and you cant just reprogram yourself because the world is different today.i don't believe for one second that this guy hates black people.sometimes when i get angry i might shout:FUCKING FAGOT!!! just because it's imprinted in my mind so hard it pours out at times.

  • @edichkaa ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON, Buddy! This is by far the BEST comment I've read on anything. I wish more people liked this and up there right under the video. Beautifully put.

  • grow a brain u twits. All you perfect people. This world is full of human shit. Yeah and buddy dont even reply with that line. Your so pathetic i already know what you were going to type as a reply even before u typed it. You know a dumb fuck by the obvious replies and feelings. The obvious responses. The flatlined limited insight. Stupid. Fucken Sheep. Good on you Michael. I understand how the mind works not most of these utube twits. 10 years of age. stil growing an arsehole

  • The comments on this thread hurt more than anything...

  • fuck all the niggers

    i'm so tired of they claims

    more work and less complaints

  • Look everybody! It's the nigger guy!

  • @jb60135 we don't take kindly to nigger guys around here

  • Comment removed

  • someone heckling him should have just stood up and said 'you mad bro?'

  • 0:39 Did he just say "Afro-Americans"?

  • Okay, what was he on?

  • I still love you Kramer.

  • I only hate him for this apology

  • I've always thought seinfeld was a stupid , unfunny show. but now I have a better reason to hate the show.

    I've particularly hated Richards. he was dumb funny, something that would make a 5 year old laugh not an adult.

    I hated him before he made an ass out of himself.

  • @limatima so uve always thought Sienfeld was stupid show. and u hate it even more. You can tell whos a Dumb arse by when they feel HATE. You HATE this and Stupid that. Belief system you are like a cavity in many teeth. Fuck for brains. Maybe u dont find that show funny coz you like playing with sheeps balls. I hate you how does that feel? I think your Stupid as well. Your a complete fucken Arse. Now Fuckoff!

  • @Nevawake , LOL, are you mentally challenged or something?? is this supposed to be some deep shit meaningful crap that only you understand ?? what the fuck are you writing??

    I bet, you are the kind of dumbfuck who gets all emotional and excited over bullshit topics, spits and talks, gets loud and annoys everyone, talks shit and makes no sense.

    I leave you alone in your small world. punch your wall and cry,but remember you wont ever fit in, you fucking retard.

  • @limatima no sorry poor cunt.,, il have to correct you on a number of errors in your belief system. As long as its deep for me to understand then i doubt ul understand it. My writting is called replying to someone whom i know is a dumbshit without much life experience and wisdom. So as i start typing to someone like yourself i start to think to myself why the fuck should i bother. So then i start typing as if u cant understand coz of lacking hope in u understanding. So i guess we were right.

  • @limatima Well i d also rather be the kind of dumbfuck who makes not much sense rather someone who posts and is an ignorant dumb arse. Anyway my best friend in the whole world. Hows America these days? Is it a Banana Republic Yet? Invaded anymore Countries? Killed anymore children with big bombs? Offcourse your not from America the peaceful uncorrupt land of shit now its Corporation of America. Your from Rwanda the Hack body bits of 1 million people. where was god that day? hmmm

  • @Nevawake

    what on earth are you talking about??

    big fucking reminder, youtube is for people ( even an idiot like you) to watch videos and post comments accordingly.

    try to fucking relate you aussie psycho. how is this video related to Rwanda or "corporate america".

    If you know you are wasting your time typing shit that you know only makes sense to you then YOU ARE AN IDIOT.

    seriously why do you bother, I still think you are a fucktard.

    take your pills before you smash your computer LOL

  • ass hole

  • APOLOGY ??? SERIOUSLY !!!!

    RICHARDS HAS PRAISED AFRICANS MANY MANY MANY TIMES ! HE'S LIKE THE WORLDS BIGGEST AFRICAN FAN ! ! !

    AND BITCH, WHO THE FUCK NEVER USED THE WORD "NIGGER" BEFORE ? THOSE MOTHERFUCKING NIGGERS ARE JUST USING KRAMER'S POPULARITY TO MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT HOW USING THE WORD "NIGGER" IS BAD..

    SURE ITS BAD TO USE THAT WORD, BUT BITCH, DON'T BLAME IT ON RICHARDS !

  • Richards is washed up. All he had was Seinfeld. After that, no movies, no TV show -- not even appearances on Hollywood Squares or infomercials. Just an unfunny out-of-work, bitter has-been.

  • @magbast9 hes washed up hey. nobhead. if hes a has been then what the fuck are you??? Cmon??

    Just another piece of shit who likes running down people who try to right wrongs. Good on ya spoilt fuck for brains. Now go have lots of babies. Stick your dick in or open your cunt for that rapper child. Got a rapper child in me. YO!!!!

  • he got old since "Seinfeld"...

  • I love Michael Richards as Kramer, i don't know much about his stand up or him as a person. He's very shy, and laid back. What i do know is that you don't just say racial slurs for no reason, it's imbedded there in your mind, either from childhood, or taught through life. Its NOT natural, your either prejudice or your not, there really is no grey area. Everyone in the world hate people, but you single them out with slang terms, cracker, nigger, spook, honky etc. That's a choice, not an impulse.

  • Black do a whole lot of racist material on/against whites in comedy clubs but nothing is ever said. Thanks to the extreme libs even the lowliest McDonnalds worker to a full time celebrity looses thier livelihood for one stupid word. Maybe in the future is a whtie comic is harrassed by blacks he should just whip out crime chart of police statistics for the last 50yrs to show all the black thievery,rape,murder,drive bys, vandalism against both whites AND black. Just destroy them with the truth!!!

  • He was doing stand up comedy. It is one of the more difficult things to do. What a smart comic would do is channel the hecklers energy and make light of the situation. Racism and bigotry is something that is taught and unfortunately passed on. And um did he actually say Afro Americans? Who is he talking about? Americans who wear afros? That alone tells you how sadly ignorant he is. First of all everyone is a descendant from Africa. This is all damage control to secure any future projects.

  • COMEDIAN CHRIS ROCK ON YOUTUBE ,HE SEZ SOME FUNNY SHIT, YOU PEOPLE SHOULD LOOK HIM UP! HE IS FUNNY☺

  • Try to apologize after that. What a weird guy. He should've forced up some tears and told everyone that he found religion. I hope he's saved his money, because no one will hire him now.

  • I absolutely hate how people were laughing during his apology. He's a human, not a monkey made to entertain. 

  • micheal richards is a puke infact ill never watch anything he does again

  • He is still making a joke about it  in his so called apology.Stating in so many words he was in a comedy club when he said these things so it should of been ok.Thats what I read in between the lines.Also,afro american?He said it,ment it,so deal with it.There are ways for "all races" to joke about each other and we all can find humor.However,he lost his mind period and made it personal.And it wasn't even funny.

  • @reececup33

    Apparently being in a comedy clubs is ok for blacks to disrespect and make fun of white people....

  • @TheMattswish YYOU ARE DUMB ..there is a difference between beeing funny and beeing offensive and trying to hurt people..im white and i have been in comedy club my whole life.the black comedian i saw make fun of white people but MOST IMPORTANTeLY they make fun of blacks too they make fun of evrybody.you must be a racist yourself to believe that michael richards was trying to be funny.there was no comedic punchline AT ALL. just a stupid racist rant.

  • @dramatish

    EVERYONE has their "racist" moments. If you think you are not a "racist" then you must be completely oblivious to whats going on.

    What about the guy calling Michael a "white cracker-ass", was this some sort of joke with a punchline? Nah, but everyone is ok.

    We ALL know that if it was a black comedian calling a white spectator a cracker, no one would say a word.

    If nigger is such an offensive word, than maybe all of the rappers should stop saying it like every second word.

  • @TheMattswish you just prove me how dumb you are .and believe me you are very dumb.the guy who said "cracker" did it as a response to kramer ...big difference.it was a reaction to a racist rant.and that guy was in the audience and wasnt a comedian on a stage...Kramer was the comedian so its not the same idiot.

    and NO the word "cracker" doesnt nearly have the same impact like the word "nigga" because of the HISTORY attached to it.
