The article didn't come up--there was an error.

There has been debate as to whether or not he's Jewish so if he isn't, I'm glad that's cleared up.

I think because he played a primary character on Seinfeld, everyone assumes he was Jewish... Just saying... I have no comment on dude's religious affiliation and really don't care that much.

Aside from that:

Interesting the black folks in the audience where Michael Richards had ranted and spewed his venomous epithets said they plan to sue him.

It'll probably turn into a civil suit and some folks will make a little money focusing on lunatic...

I like the Seinfeld show

Michael Richards is racist. Over 3/4 of the white population probably is. I would have been very pissed if I was in the audience and I probably would have started a riot. But other than that he is racist and that pretty much doesnt make or break my day.

Now I think people have gone over board with this lawsuit issue. But then again he's a rich man and it looks like they will probably get some compensation for this incident. So go for it and break him where it hurts the most.

Why did he apologize to Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharpton...were they there??

My reading of the news reports said the homie felt compelled to speak to Al Sharpton first, then connect up with Jesse.

Sounds like he's trying to buy protection from lawsuits from the "heckler thugs" at the comedy club...

The folks my buy it for a settlement out of court. If it makes it that far.

On our news, he was posing with Jesse and Paul Mooney. He had some LAME apology.

If there was a tactic we would employ, we can cirulate web-wide, to boycott all Seinfeld season DVDs. But there will always be those "tap dancing negroes"...

So, if 3/4 of white people are racists, what percentage of black people are racists?

SO, I gather if he apologized not many people would think it was sincere. I bet thee are the same people that profess to be God fearing Christians too. Forgiveness apparently had a finite point. Thats not what my Bible says.

These hoodlums in the audience were heckiling him. Now of course it wasnt right for him to say racist statements but ya know, we have much more important things going on in life than to wory about some guy we will neer meet in person

Well personally I dont think black people are racist. We don't benefit from racism. Because racism is a system that we cannot control. Are there black people that hate white people??? Of course! But this does not qualify as racism to me. (another topic for another day)

BTW: People apologize because its the right thing to do not because they really want to change.

Anyway, I seek no reason to support him or justify his outrageous rants. I've enjoyed a Seinfield episode now and then but I am content if I never see the show or him again.

Good point AKAMonet!

Thanks from posting that. Aside from the fact that he's not Jewish he made some sort of bizarre remark about Jews killing Jesus. But what makes people even care if he's Jewish? It matters not one bit. What makes people think he's Jewish? The big nose and curly hair? Bias. Hate. Ignorance. Call it what you want, but those that live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones.

Still waiting on someone to address the fact that someone was racist and called him a Cracker and a White Boy.
