I don't condone the use of racial slurs on either of their parts. The entire video made me angry.

Oh. Right. Because Michael Richards is a face, not just a voice. People know who he is because of Seinfeld.
No. The reason this made such a big stir is because he is famous, but I've been present when people fling racial slurs around and it explodes like this. It just never gets coverage like this because no one famous is involved.

If you say it in anger, that means you think it. If his mind didn't work that way, at least a little bit, his tyrade wouldn't've gone that route.

So I'm glad he's sorry he made an ass out of himself, but he's a racist and he can just go right back to hasbeendome.
