Description I'm sure many people have heard about Michael Richards (Seinfeld's Kramer) and his racist comments at The Laugh Factory last week, as well as his apology on The Late Show on Monday night. Frankly, I'm not sure where I stand on the matter. Michael Richards is one of my favorite comedians and actors, and it appalled me that he would do something like that. Heckling happens in comedy clubs all the time, and it pisses me off just to hear it. But it's something stand-ups just have to deal with, and not in the way he did. Now I haven't lost any respect for him, I think it was just a weird thing. But the whole situation made me think it was high time I drew him. So...here ya go!

I can really see him getting into this sort of sticky situation on Seinfeld. Remember when he got in trouble with the police trying to get his car back when wearing the pimp outfit? XDDD

I found it both shocking, and kinda funny when I saw Michael Richards go nuts like that. I don't support that kind of behavior he did, and I hate the "N" word, but I honestlly think the media needs to stop it with all of these racist witchhunts, and lay off people like Michael, and Mel Gibson so much.
I was somewhat disapointed by their behavior, but I don't really think either one of them are major racists, or at least not as much as the media makes them out to be.
(You want real racism? Go after the guys in white hoods, or who have swastika tatoos on their arms.)

I meen, they never go after say movie director Spike Lee, or rappers when they make racist comments against white people. It's like you can onley be an evil racist if your white.

He needs to have his forehead poking out more. I love the man, and I've heard about the incident, though I don't know exactly what he said. I honestly think that people need to learn to take jokes from white people. Death to Carlos Mencia.

I think he really does feel sorry.
I've seen all the videos on it at [link] .

Ya know what suprised me in his apology?

He said the term "Afro Americans". So for a while, I didn't know if he was joking or not.

Well, Afro Americans is actually a legitimate term, but nobody uses it anymore, so it probably hurt him more than it helped

Nice pic.

I doubt he's a racist, I just think he was trying to heckle the heckler and decided to go with racial jokes. Not the smartest move by Cosmo.

One of my favorite Actors as well...

That was just a weird situation. It seemed out of character of him. You can bet on a career flop at this point, people will just rip him the shreds. It's a shame.

I think the main thing was that he was trying to make a point, but failed miserably at it. I once attempted something semi-similar to this in a debate on Huck Finn, question why anybody could be offended at a mere "word." Well, the problem is just about everybody is offended by it, even white people. It may seem ridiculous in concept, but it's not like the word is even useful in the language anyway, so it doesn't exactly bother me, unlike Micheal Richards here. I don't know the guy, so I'm not gonna flat out call him a rascist. I am going to call him stupid for not being able to come up with a suitable retaliation for a stunt like this.

The picture is pretty cool, haha. He all has that "IT'S SHOWTIME!" vibe goin' on about him. Like as if he'll bust out and say "IT'S NIGGER-TIME!" I like the way you drew him too, and how you used the Garfield-esque font for the text. Kewl.

I'm glad people can laugh at that as a joke. Also, I saw the movie the guy in your avatar is in today. XP

I personally like Spirited Away better, as far as anime movies go.
