Here’s a sample of the vitriol he spewed (and this was not Johnnie Walker ranting on his behalf. This clown was stone-cold sober):
Shut up! Fifty years ago we’d have you upside down with a fucking fork up your ass. You can talk, you can talk, you’re brave now motherfucker. Throw his ass out. He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! A nigger, look, there’s a nigger!
What surprised me, however, was not his racist tirade but the socially-indignant reaction to it – especially from the man who made this character a star, Jerry Seinfeld. After all, it was Seinfeld who wrote and produced a show about a group of “Friends” (see Related Articles below) living in New York City, on which so few people of color appeared that one could have been forgiven the impression that NYC was as lily-white as Provo, Utah (which is 96.99% white – with mostly Mexican migrant workers pulling up the slack).
Nonetheless, here’s what the now politically-correct Seinfeld had to say about the behavior of this racist Frankenstein he created:
I’m terribly sick over this….I’m sure Michael [Richards] is also sick over this horrible, horrible mistake. It is so extremely offensive. I feel terrible for all the people who have been hurt.
Of course, following the Hollywood script for acting contrite – after causing such an embarrassing scandal – Richards will soon launch his own media defensive. And, if he has good PR people, he’ll spare us the “I’m-not-a-racist” line.
Instead, he should explain that, despite his rant, he harbors no malice in his heart towards blacks (“I’m Jewish after all”), and that what that impertinent audience member caught on her mobile phone was him acting out a shock-routine as nothing more than a live comedy workshop….
How’s that?!
But since he, unlike Mel Gibson, had no career prospects beyond making blue (color) jokes in comedy clubs around the country, Richards should spare himself the public groveling over this incident and “keep it real” by venting his racist filth – whenever he can – to provide a controlled venue for other closet racists to exorcise their demons….
NOTE: Just in case, do any of you black racists out there have a more caustic retort than “cracker” to being called a nigger?

Just sickening.
Too bad racists of all colours get such coverage. I wonder sometimes if that’s not why they do these things?
I am certainly not above obliging a racist comment with a racist comment, but this is over the top!
