The Kramer Thing

I finally heard what Michael Richards (Kramer) said that got people upset. I was expecting some sort of comedy act where he “supposedly” crossed the line into being offensive to some people. Typical oversensitivity stuff, right?
Wrong.
Instead I found an irate, racist man who was simply showing the world his actual feelings on the matter. There was no comedy involved; he was out of character just being himself. I haven’t heard his apology yet, but I already know it’s not enough.
It’s sad, really. You never want to see someone you previously associated with positivity do something like this. It doesn’t just change how you feel about him from that point on; it also smears what he did in the past.

It is really sad. Google videos has his “apology” from the David Letterman show.
