Star Muscle was launched right after the Michael Richard’s racist rant. Actually seeing Kramer do what he did, got me off my butt to launch this site. Even though its old news, we shouldn’t forget his hate. Let’s hope 2007 is a better, more loving year.
For any of you that lived in a cave and missed this, here’s the official story and video compliments of TMZ and YOUTUBE:
Richards, who played the wacky Cosmo Kramer on the hit TV show “Seinfeld,” appeared onstage at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. Kyle Doss, an African-American, told TMZ he and some friends were in the cheap seats and he was playfully heckling Richards when suddenly, the comedian lost it.
The camera started rolling just as Richards began his attack, screaming at one of the men, “Fifty years ago we’d have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass.”
Richards continued, “You can talk, you can talk, you’re brave now motherf**ker. Throw his ass out. He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! A nigger, look, there’s a nigger!”
The crowd is visibly and audibly confused and upset. Richards responds by saying, “They’re going to arrest me for calling a black man a nigger.”
One of the men who was the object of Richard’s tirade was outraged, shouting back “That’s un-f***ing called for, ain’t necessary.”
After the three-minute tirade, it appears the majority of the audience members got up and left in disgust.
Warning: This video and text is extremely racist and not supported by us. I threw away my Seinfield dvds immediately after this incident.

Michael Richards is an angry,ignorant sorry excuse for a human being. That is the first time I have viewed this video and I am sick! As a white woman I could never ever imagine saying those things. He is on the D-List in Hollywood now, and he deserves every minute of it. I hope he never makes another dollar in the entertainment buisness. He deserves to be called names about his awkward appearance. He looks like a freak!

How many times does Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Chris Tucker,Cedric,Dave Chapelle, and most rappers use that word. I understand this was not part of his act. Although even if it were he would have been berated by everyone. Im sick of the double standard. Why is it ok that black comedians can use that word but if a white does its taboo. Why can a black comedian throw around the word cracker like its nothing but if a white comic used the N word its a big deal. Why is it not racist to have BET. If there were WET it would be racist. Anyone that can explain please do.
Comment by Marcus on 25 January 2007:
Hi Justin,
Thought I would explain why it seems acceptable for blacks, latinos, asians, et cetera, to belittle Whites. Whites make up 75.1% of the US population (2000 census), meaning Whites are the considerable majority (though at the current rates of non-white population increase, this will change rapidly). In addition, most positions of power are held by Whites (Corporate CEOs, Politicians, Police, Judges), even with use of affirmative action, non-whites just have not reached the heights of power that White people have attained in this country.
I know that based on these facts it seems like it’s White folks who should be able to do whatever they want, right? Here’s where it get’s sticky; you see, somewhere along the line White people developed this ‘thing’ called political correctness. It has worked it’s way into all facets of life, and many White people view it as a good thing because it’s morally or ethically sound in thier eyes (basically it’s speech or acts that are totally unoffensive to anyone of any race, creed, sex, color, religion, or sexually orientated background). It’s kind of like Communism; it censors you and works well in principal, but in reality it’s pretty much doomed to fail eventually because it’s oppressive.
In our own school systems we are taught that black people ‘rose up’ against Whites to win equality and break thier shackles of slavery and segregation through much trial and tribulation. But generally speaking it was White advocates for these things that made them actually happen. These teachings mixed with people’s determination to be PC have created guilt in American whites, making many believe they are worth less, evil, or in some, making them wish they were another race altogether. So the same people who are so adamant about being ‘good’ whites, allow non-whites to lower themselves by not holding them to thier own PC standards. It’s ironic in a sad way.
Justin, I hope this makes some sense to you, and sends you down the right path in search of an answer. I have barely scratched the surface. Just don’t feel alone in your struggle. There are many people who know that political correctness is destroying this country from the inside out.
I know I’m going to get some flak for writing this, people will call me a racist, a facist, call my analogies, grammar or spelling poor, or whatever they like to to distract from the point that every word I’ve typed here is the truth. Eventually others will see that being PC is bad for our country (like the UK and Australia have recently started to realize), we can only hope that it will not be too late.
Comment by Marcus on 25 January 2007:
PS: Forgot to mention that I do not approve of the way Mr. Richards handled himself. However the video starts halfway through the altercation, so we really don’t know what sparked his comments.
Comment by justin on 25 January 2007:
This will probably end his career. Is that fair?? I am not to judge. I just find it sad that Ron Artest can kick a man in the groin repeatadly and apoligize and pay a fine and voila… over. It’s crap and it’s eating our country from the inside out.
Comment by alex on 27 January 2007:
I viewed the tape over and over again and I just don’t think that Richards is a true racist. He may have lost “it” for a while but only because he had to say something fast and funny which is hard. He was simply trying to be funny! Unfortunately, it wasn’t funny for some people. And the situation just got out of control. But you can see his sorry, sad face when he went down the stage. I guess that deep inside, he was embarassed by himself and couldnt believe that he said those words(or jokes).

Hi Marcus
After reading your last reply I felt completley disgusted and offended. As a white man i feel i had no part of slavery, nobody in my family owned slaves,sold slaves,or harmed any black person. So,why should I not get mad when I hear cracker or honky. I am of Irish descent, and Irish people have been persecuted for hundreds of years, not only in Ireland but America also. I hear blacks saying they want racism to end, but it seems they continue to drag it on.

Comment by Paul on 28 February 2007:
OMG!!! I do not believe this! Not one bit. I- I mean I watch “Seinfeld” like every day.. and- and then all of a sudden, I find his video of Michael Richards saying all these unbelievable, terrible, racist things toward those people. You know what? Kramer was my favorite character. N- Now every time I see the freaken show, I’m ganna get sick; sick right down to my freaken stomach……unbelievable. I can’t believe that a person like that can just all of a sudden become a jackass in the eyes of everyone who once saw him as a funny actor……………..shame.
Comment by Paul on 28 February 2007:
N- NO! NO! I MEAN SERIOULSY! WHAT THE HELL MAN?! WAS HE DRUNK OR SOMETHING?! GOD! WHAT. THE. HELL?! )=(
Comment by Paul on 1 March 2007:
Pardon my english. But even if he was drunk or got carried away, I don’t think there was any reason what-so- ever for saying those things. ………….a- actually, I aggree with you, alex. I saw his face filled with regret and shame. In fact, he kind of reminded me of myself after I get carried away in different instantses. Never-the-less, I hope that SOMEHOW this will go over as smooth as ever possible.- although I find it quite unlikely. =I
Comment by White Boy on 6 April 2007:
When NBC and the networks call white people white trash the audience roars with laughter. So it seems race values are very skewed. I don’t see NBC expressing concern over that.

Steve Harvey Doesn’t Understand The ‘Uproar’ Around Michael Richards’ Racist Rant
Comedian Steve Harvey was surprised at the uproar surrounding Michael Richard’s racist slur last year because he didn’t think the comment was that offensive. Richards hit the headlines in November for repeated use of the word “n**ger” during a foul-mouthed tirade aimed at two African-American hecklers at the Laugh Factory in California.
But the star, 50, has dismissed Richards as “unimportant”, insisting people should be more concerned about racism creeping into mainstream politics.
He says, “I don’t understand the uproar. White people been calling us n**ggers for years. I’ve been conscious of this racism bullshit since I was four. Now everybody’s real sick because of Michael Richards? Michael Richards ain’t… important. It’s when (politician) David Duke runs for office in New Orleans as a (Ku Klux) Klan member… and gets votes - that concerns me.”

Comment by Michael on 18 June 2007:
C’mon guys. really now?. whats the hype? I am a white south african. there is no place like africa where race looms. We have got to stop this race shit… i mean really. I have black and white friends. i have read all the comments posted and viewed the tape. I dont feel ashamed to be white. i also couldnt care what people think or say. If someone goes out calling people nigger… So what? let em be! they are retarded. I would also like to mention that nobody has posted a comment on the retaliating “cracker-ass” comment… Is that fine to call someone a cracker-ass. Why was there no hype about “cracker-ass” comment. In south africa there is so much BS going around about racism its not even ‘jokeable’ anymore. I never in my life knew what raacism was untill all the hype started hitting media and politics and freaking everything. i have in the last 2 years started becoming racist due to all the hatred placed on whites when i have nothing to do with slavery nor my family, but blacks portray that we owe them something. No i dont owe any niga anything, but, the black friends that i have, i value and i also value the realisticness of them. Cos in my mind, a niga is someone who has an issue with black or white, and a cracker ass is someone who has an issue with black or white. So i dont have any niga or cracker ass friends, just white or black friends. So yeah, keep calling each other that, nobody really cares, but it gives some pen pushers something to write about. Also, what is actually the problem, saying the word niga or saying it to a black person. I hear cracker asses calling cracker asses niga, Chings calling chings niga, chings calling crackers asses niga, nigas calling cracker asses niga, abos calling chings niga. See my point? whats the problem here? people have to make up their minds?

Man, don’t you know that only a nigger is allowed to use the word nigger?
Comment by Anon on 1 July 2007:
Have you seen this?
“A company that provides translation services and cultural sensitivity training to other organizations is being accused of sex discrimination and racial insensitivity in its own ranks.”
“To bolster her discrimination complaint with the state, Kelly included photos allegedly showing the company’s top two human resources executives dressed up for the 2005 corporate Halloween party as a black pimp and a white prostitute. The “pimp,” a white woman wearing blackface and sporting a fake gold tooth, won the prize for best costume, the complaint said.”

That was some funny funny sh*t right there… you just saw a dumb ignorant piece of white trash lose any hope of every finding work again.
People keep talking about how he just exploded… may too much pressure… or too drunk…. watch it again, the man is an insane white racist who finally came out of the closet.
Comment by Anonymous on 2 November 2007:
I agree with you he was a racist just in the closet and he finally came out. The reason white people cant call black people “nigga” is because they are WHITE! Do you not know about all the Civil Rights Movements, it was whites hating black people. IT’s just an unwritten rule white people cant say nigga. Plus there is a difference black people dont say “nigger” they say “nigga”. I am Native American but my bf is black and I’ve had a lot of black friends and white people are probably saying theres no difference but there is. I’m not saying it’s ok for black people to say cracker but they didnt go through what black people did.
