Kramer's racist rant | November 21, 2006
As someone who is a fan of forgiveness, I want to believe Michael Richards is sorry. But as someone who is NOT a fan of racism, it's not easy.
Is it going to hurt Jerry Seinfeld that he is choosing to back Kramer during this time, by getting him on Letterman to issue an apology?
I have to agree with the lady quoted in the story, who says, "What came out onstage tells me who he is." He, like Mel Gibson, can supress this to the world, but if it comes out in rage/drunkenness, it's somewhere inside already, isn't it?
What do you think? Forgive? Or hold a grudge? (This question pertains to both Gibson and Richards. Do you see a difference between the two situations?)
For those interested, here's the video of Richards' tirade. And here's the apology on Letterman:

I haven't yet watched the video of the tirade, but the video from Letterman almost makes me feel bad for him. We'll see how I feel in a few minutes, though.

I was appalled at the M. Richards tirade. Both Gibson and Richards are hateful. The sad thing is, in a few months these events will be all but forgotten.

I think the guy is ca-ra-zy. And this won't be good for Seinfeld sales this Holiday season.
It's will be interesting to see what happens.
