He can say he's not a racist all he wants, but the truth always comes out when the right stimuli are presented. We hear Mel's true opinions when he's drunk. Similarly, we hear Michael Richards using the "n" word when he's heavily antagonized. He could've just told the guy to sit down and shut up, but somewhere in his subconsciousness, he couldn't ignore the skin color of the guy heckling him. Don't think he's the only one. In fact, I would say a majority of white comedians would probably still think "the guy heckling me is black." People still think in terms of skin color. It's just a matter of whether or not it's said.

He's already made his millions. It's just a little sad that he had to stoop to a level even lower than heckling to dress down a rowdy audience member.

I do believe that he is not that "racist", it seemed to me that the way you act, I mean as a professional comedian you have to take those things and forget about them but he was unable to think of anything and said it without thinking it or was intoxicated. It seemed to me, that the dude that heckled him went over the deep end by saying something as well. This is what I don't understand, it only shows a clip of him saying that "He's a Nigga, he's a nigger, he's a nigger!" How about the African American individual who called him a cracker?
That isn't fair and since that person choose to say that kind of word as well, we should all hate him too? The fact of the matter is, God forbid you call a white man a cracker, what happens? Nothing. When you call an African American dude a "nigger" you get this "OH MY GOSH YOU RACIST!" This worst thing is they sport the word as a normal term in there language and they get pissed when a non dark skin toned person says it. Hypocrites...
Other then that....he did go over that line, but we will see what happened to that other dude, the one that heckled...Nothing will happen to him, as for "Kramer" he'll make many KKK members very happy.....

I once had a joke about making the words white and cracker as offensive as black and that one word. And White people will not be called white anymore, We will be called caucassion americans. Let's see how that works.

Minorities always get special treatment. If it's a developed, industrialized nation like the U.S., we treat them like children that can't be insulted but can say whatever the hell they want against us. If it's a third world country, they're hanged.
Interesting.

I hear Michael Richards is going on Jesse Jackson's radio show to plead his case.
