Michael Richards, Seinfeld’s “Kramer,” used insults and the N-word onstage when heckeld by black people during his act. One of the black men says he was “playfully heckling” the performer as he worked when Richards said, “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.”
