Kramer Goes on Racist Rage

This is just utterly disheartening. The actor Michael Richards, whom played the famous and lovable role of Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld, apparently has some dark personal issues to resolve. He went onstage for an act at a popular comedy club in Los Angeles last week. When a couple of noisy/rude afro-American audience members shouted out “you’re not funny anymore”, he immediately fell into an angry, racist rage. While I’m sure the audience members deserved to be addressed, Richards’ comments were way over the top. It’s sad to see such a likeable talent ruin what little career he had left following the post-Seinfeld super-stardom. You have to separate the actor from the character though… because Cosmo Kramer will always be the man!

Here is the video of his rage:
