I just watched this clip on youtube.com, and it's actually made me hate one of my most loved characters on TV. Michael Richards (Kramer from Seinfeld) outbursts on stage very racist comments toward African American in front of a small comedy club crowd, I don’t mean comments that people might interprets as racist comment, no he was bluntly yelling the N word at some of the audience members. The video shocked me. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing; I couldn’t believe that someone would still think and say these things in our day and age. He did apologize later on thou on the David Letterman show, but the damage is done. I mean his career was already slipping away, and now he will never be able to get a gig. Racist people really disgust me, and to see a veteran comic that people loved to come out like that is really a shame.
And here is a link for the apology video [Link]

Yeah that was so messed up his career is ruined regarding your comment about racism in our day, the reality of the situation is it exists everywhere in different forms for example in Kuwait you see it in a daily basis and I'm not only talking about color of skin, what's even sadder is some people don't even know that they are racists.
Yeah i know it existed and it will never go away, but i was shocked that a celebrity white man in the liberal USA can still stand on stage and blurb out the word Niggar several times and then goes unpunished. I know that some have it their hearts but they will never dare to go public with it.
