Someone posted an answer to my question. The question I asked was: Is Michael Richards career over:?

If your question is, is this reply disturbing? The answer is yes, on a whole lot of levels.

I thought his career was over when they ended Seinfeld.

in today's politically correct society. yeah his career is probably over. But then wasn't it all ready when Seinfeld went off the air? i mean he's never really going to climb back up to that anytime anyway, even before the racist rant. i agree with you. The guy got angry, said things he shouldn't have. Most people don't go to comedy clubs don't get it. The comics get angry because you are messing with their livelyhood. I went to a comedy club one time, and the comic told a guy 'look man, i'm working up here, i don't come up to you while you are at your job mowing grass and throw rocks at you." That pretty much sums it up. You have an audience in there that paid the man to entertain them yet two morons want to sit in the balcony and take over his show. You wouldn't do that at a movie, why shouldn't the audience and the performer at a comedy club get the same respect? here is another great video that illustrates the point http://ebaumsworld.com/2006/09/comedian-heckled.html A comic in Seattle offends two women, with the term "towel-head" they take over the show, and eventully run up on stage an assault the comic physically. if you have such a thin skin, LEAVE. why disrupt the show assuming EVERYONE agrees with you?

i think his career is going to be hurt just like mel gibson's is from his rants.he is banned for life from the laugh factory,if he wants his career he is going to have alot of apologizing to do,but the way hollywood is in a few weeks everyone in hollywood will forget about it and move on to something else, as a comedian he should be used to hecklers, if he can't take the criticism then maybe he should find a new line of work.

It's been over way before he got started, that's why his a ss is so mad, what have you know him to do other than wear his pants so far up his a ss nothing, and to you, you deserve to be called WHITE TRASH, NOW KISS MY A SS.

Who was this responding with such a closed mind? Performers, especially comedians, are heckled every day, it is not uncommon. The consummate performer knows how to turn the "cretins" comments into something amusing for the rest of the audience which ultimately results in silence from the "peanut gallery". Michael Richards was unprofessional as well as unamusing in his response to the "cretins", who I believe only called out that they didn't think he was funny. And his use of the "n" bomb was bad, but his reference, which I believe is what everyone is up in arms about, what "we" used to do (hangings, prodding objects up someone's a$$) was way over the top and totally uncalled for. The funny thing is that the white members of the audience were so offended that they started leaving even before any minority members of the audience did. And as for his apology, I doubt it was offered to clear his conscience but more than likely it was offered because I'll bet his good friend Jerry Seinfield and his agent asked him if he ever wanted to work again!

As a black woman I can say that what Michael Richards did was immature and very disrespectful. I don't care what someone said, he has no right to say what he said. I believe he insulted African Americans' history by saying what he said. I don't care what the teens were wearing or what color their hair was. I think Michael stood on that stage saying what he's been waiting to say for years because it was filled with so much anger. Comedians and performers get heckled all the time but they don't resort to the color of a person's skin. I think he just was out of line period. As far as I'm concerned, his career is OVER because he'll have to work with or for black people as long as he's an actor or comedian.

He just going to have to ride it out. He should of just asked managment to intervene or just left the stag.If the guys in the audience can't take it they shouldn't dish it out.Being black or white. That N WORD shouldn't be reserved for just some people.It is a just! a! WORD!(like shorty,Fats,idiot,Tiny. redneck etc...) It is called SLANG!! People are going to say it,maybe just to be hurtful and not neccesarily racist .I believe just that word alone to be root of racism and misunderstanding between black and white people in this day and age..

He reacted as MANY comedians do when they are heckled. Comedians go to the places most people cant to try to shut down a heckler. That's all this was.
