Kramer, unreal to hear this in the news Options

Michael Richards you broke my heart and you ruined one of my favorite television characters. You embarrassed and offended me, not only as a white man, but as just a man.

To live in such a time when great leaps of advancement in technology and medicine can show the universe how bright and charismatic we humans can be, you come about and show the world how primitive and blatantly hateful our pathetic existence is.

Seinfeld, the series, may have ended in 1998, but this past weekend was the death of Kramer and the dawning of a bigot. How sorry we all should be for what has transcended. When the sun rises tomorrow I ask we learn from Mr. Richards' hate and accept each other as what and who we are, not black, not white, just humans.

I realize that's shocking, but one day you'll all have to grow up and realize it. If everytime you hear certain words you get offended, you are going to have a hard time in life. Invest in some ear plugs in order to shield yourself from reality and especially don't go to comedy clubs.

lol, you obviously are not in touch with reality. i go to comedy clubs and one of my favorite comics happens to be lewis black who singles out every type of person. but he doesnt do it by race or color.

its not what Richards said, its how he went about doing it. He singled those people out solely by their color and race. If those words and feelings are not in your heart, they won't come out of your mouth, regardless of how much you've had to drink or how mad you become.

this is just another example of where our country is in terms of racial equality. By no means was the heckler justified in calling Richards a "Cracker".

The Movie Crash relates to this type of incident.

Wow, one comedian that doesn't talk about race. I didn't say every comedian did, but a lot do. Carlos Mencia, Robin Williams, George Carlin, Daniel Tosh, etc. The list goes on. Chris Rock, Dave Chapelle, etc.

Reality is that there is hatred in the world. Tolerance is the only answer. Hating people that hate makes you no better than them. The end.

You are as much of a bigot as he is for hating him, or judging him, for what he did and said.

big‧ot  /ˈbɪgət/ [big-uht]
–noun
a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

So, I'm not out of touch with reality, I am very much in touch. I realize there is hate in the world. I'm just thankful that I don't hate people, and I don't hate people that do. I feel sorry for those such as yourself, and many people in this thread that harbor hate for your fellow bigots.

With logic like that Hitler would be free to commit genocide if the world lived the way you say it should... Tolerance has it's limits when it infringes on other's rights as human beings to live their life as they are.

Tolerating opression leads to the end of Democracy. The end.
