Why even bother? He’s loaded beyond belief and I doubt this will do any favors for him. This was so long ago and so many scandals ago that rehashing it will just remind people.

Lol maybe just don't bring it up, Kramer.

I've introduced so many people to the Kramer nigger debacle. People my age who were old enough to have seen the clips and remember it happening. He should really, really just leave it alone.

I consider it one of the funniest moments in the history of stand up comedy and even I forgot until I saw something about his book.

Well to be fair he wants to write a book - fine, some people would read it. It would feel cheap or disingenuous not to mention the thing that literally killed his career.

But I do get what you’re saying, theres that clip where he brings it up on Comedians in Cars getting Coffee and Jerry just wants to strangle him. “Why are you bringing up your racist rant on my comedy show? Don’t you want people to move on from this?”

I’ve said it before but even people my age who don’t know or care about Seinfeld know about this incident.

I think he said “Afro Americans” on Letterman which just sounds tone deaf.

I honestly do feel quite bad for him. imagine your entire career and all of your credibility imploding in 45 seconds just cos you lost your temper. also, I laughed exceptionally harder at it than most standup I've seen

You don't know who he meant? Y'know the spades with the afros.

 

[Dog Eater]

Fuck being in media and never being allowed to say nigger as a result.

 

[Racist Google Intern]

Larry already fixed the issue with this episode, Michael must need money.

 

[PogromStallone]

It was clearly an attempt at shock comedy but now he has to paint it like he was an awful person plagued by prejudices so people won't hate him for it.

Is that because South Park did an episode about it? Or is that show not popular with your age group?

Heres where I don't have any sympathy for him "Im buddhist now, I went to tibet" Fuck off

That’s what I think, while he does get residuals from Seinfeld he’s pretty much been unable to do any work for almost 20 years. Julia Louis Dreyfus and Jason Alexander still were able to get plenty work all these years (they’ve both had their own shows - Jason’s were short lived) while also getting residuals. Same with the people from Friends - they lived good off residuals but still needed to work here and there.

I don’t think Michael Richards has even been able to do private signings / autograph conventions.

HES A NIGGER, HES A NIGGER, wait, I'm chinese now, it's cool

 

[Turk February]

regretting your racism by becoming a racist stereotype doesn't make you less racist

Stop laughing it's not funny
