HMMMM this is very interesting. He was completely out of control and there is NO excuse for his actions. But even though they pale in comparison I find it funny that no one pointed out the "cracker" comment. Afterall that is their word for us. That is the N word for White People basically. it was all said with hatred and disrespect. Racism is Racism is Racism. it doens't matter who it comes from (white black brown etc etc) or who it is directed at. It doesn't matter if ones words were more hateful than the others words. It is all racism. Seems almost like a double standard.
However, I am absolutely disgusted with his behaviour. He really needs to seek some sort of help.
As for them calling themselves the N word..... the only thing I have to add to that is..... How can you ever expect people to respect you when you can't even respect yourselves. When they call each other that I think it is just as disparaging and disrespectful as it would be if it came from someone else.

I am a Seinfeld fan, and I liked Cosmo Kramer, the character. but after the show ended, I saw Michael Richards in a movie and I didn't care for it at all. He was crass and gross. I also saw Jerry Seinfeld on David Letterman, and the Richards apology. He seemed bewildered by his own behavior and said repeatedly that he has anger issues to work on, that he has to go do some internal work. He did not try to justify saying what he did.
