Well he didn't even sound funny. He just lost it. Though I wonder what they said to him to get him worked up.

This is so a week ago...

I think he might've said so himself, that he lost his temper and all of those remarks just came out. Some people said that he was angry and couldn't control it, when that is not a good excuse. You can control your temper and what it is doing, it just depends on how strong you are at doing so.

I don't dislike Richards at all, and I saw his apology on the Letterman show.

I think he is a racist bastard, and his apologies are just bullshit. He just wants to pretend he is sorry and is getting psychiatric help for his "problems", so he can get back to work and make more money. If I were him I would have retired long ago on the millions he made and still makes off Seinfeld.

If he just had went into an angry rage and didn't use racist remarks it wouldn't be so bad. To be that blatantly racist and say your not a racist, seems pretty pathetic. Mabey he truely is not a racist, but from what i've seen he sure looks like a bonified racist asshole.

I think there is no doubt that deep down inside he is a racist. I dont think those words would come out of someones mouth if they aren`t racist, no matter how angry they are or how much they want to hurt the person. however I dont think he is as racist as he came off looking it that video. I think he just lost it and was trying to say the meaninst thing he could possibley think of.

I dont think he should have said those things so bluntly and infront of a crowd, he obviously wasen`t thinking straight. I guess he just sorta lost his mind for a few minutes.

Yeah, this guy is definitely racist and I agree with Hobo completely, he just made the phony apology to try and salvage some of his good name. He's not really sorry in my opinion, and he's definitely not not a racist

Meh, the only Michael Richards I really cared for was the Cosmo Kramer Michael Richards.
