I mean, seriously guys, who hasn't been to a comedy show where they've been harassed? Who really gives a crap about this? Is it because he was Kramer, a character everyone loved?
It's the fact that it was spoken out of hatred and not jest. Lenny Bruce, on the other hand; now there was some commentary.

Whoopi Goldberg felt that Richards started off alright... but that it seems like he lost it halfway through the joke. The dangers of improv.

BTW, as a giant green mantis, I really have no valued commentary on the subject, really.

Ok so what did he do sooooo wrong???? I mean come on let's not get this twisted, I'm by no means racist but why do black people or any other minority get to say all kinds of shit like calling white people cracker, honky, redneck, hillbilly, etc. and get away with it but as soon as a white person says nigger or spic they get condemned to hell? WTF is wrong with country? Why the hell are we so uptight about bullshit like name calling. If I was in his position I probably would have went off too. That dude in the audience showed no respect and deserved that shit! All he had to do was go get his money back instead of acting like an asshat and screaming shit. I guess they thought he'd just let them walk all over his show and stuff and not say anything. Plus 1 for Kramer! Oh and for the record I'm white and have been dealing with prejudices all my life and won't hesitate to say anything. Why? Cause I'm a grown ass man and live in a FREE country!

People are too freakin oversensitive these days. What happened to the old phrase, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" ?

Politically correct people are just a bunch of
