Hooliganry. I was just thinking about self-consciously "shocking" acts.

Clearly something going on with this guy... that was the definition of "lost it."

Oh Snap!
That was fucking hilarious!
I wonder if he got his skinny white ass beat when he left?

I'd like to see what led up to that whole meltdown. Obviously the guy was heckling him and he lost it. Seems anger and/or heavy alcohol consumption can cause some people to express their true feelings.
At least he didn't scream that blacks have caused all the wars in the world.

What a douchebag, I lost all respect for the dude. Never look at Cosmo the same!

He was dealing with some rude fucks and lost it.
I for one could give a shit over his reaction. Society has coddled the outright rude behavior of too many for too long, and I can understand the frustration behind his outburst (if it was in fact genuine)
While I don't condone the verbal results of that frustration, I sure as hell sympathize with its causes.
Society as a whole has devalued class and dignity, and certain minority groups even more so due to the cultural examples of so-called "normal" behavior that is drilled into the heads of the youth.
Few will admit it, but Richard's reaction was a common one felt by many - he just let it fly.
And let's not forget, what was the reaction to his racist rant from Black members of the audience? To respond with thier own racist rants.
How many times have Black comedians spewed similar hatred-filled rants against Whites, Asians, Jews, Gays, etc... and been given a free pass? Hatred is hatred, and its root causes should be addressed and hopefully remedied, but instead, Whites live in fear, having been given a healthy portion of guilt from their public education experience, while minorities are allowed to openly express anti-white sentiment, sending them a message that they are either to stupid not to know better, or that White society just feels so darn bad about it all and won't correct them.
In the end, society becomes increasingly fucked up, and far less tolerant - an intolerance that lies beneath the surface, such as what we saw with dear Kramer.
I don't care for the word Nigger - but those guys were likely big time assholes, and Richards got pissed. Now lets all cover our eyes and ears and shout in dismay at his use of that terrible terribe word...while at the same time laughing at Black comedians talking about how cheap and conniving Jews are, how much white women crave black cock, how much gays crave all cock all the time, how Asians always run convenience stores...etc., while these same ridiculous stereotypes are perpetrated in modern music/video, sports...
American is perhaps the biggest group of hypocrites in the history of the world.
God Bless Us All each and every one...

If you can't handle hecklers without stooping to lowest common denominator language, then you shouldn't be doing stand up. Obviously there is something seriously toxic going on in his life that he allowed himself to come so unglued in public.

It lookss pretty funny from here. I can't imagine what anyone said to warrant such an attack. Michael Richards is the black sheep of the Hollywood family tonight! Will this take the TomKat wedding off the front pages?

Tom will spew some profanity in Italy. . . .maybe something about the Sicilians. . .always a crowd pleaser. He'll do anything to get the conversation back to "Hey look at me holding hands with Katie"

I have Obsess Hollywood on in the background because I wanted to see the story on Richards' rant but it's wall-to-wall coverage of TomKat. They'll never convince me that the kid isn't from Korea.

Actually, I believe she's from China.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

That kid does have some hair, doesn't she? I think she looks just like Katie.

I'm guessing he had a right to be pissed and to let out his anger, but he shouldn't have used the word "nigger." That word describes all black people, and not just the assholes who were disrupting the show. He was disrespecting the whole black community. The black people, however, did the same thing when they called him a "cracker-ass," so they're no better. America has come far in trying to get rid of racism, but we're far from eliminating it completely. As long as racist words are being used, seriously or light-heartedly, some group will get offended. MLKJR is needed today as much as he was needed during the civil rights movement.
