	blackprof.com: Why Kramer’s (Michael Richards) Letterman Apology Was Important
		Michael Richards (Cosmo Kramer from "Seinfeld") recently appeared on the David Letterman Show to apologize for his recent racial tirade.
		Richards is clearly not one of them, so by the shallow definition of racist in most of society, he can resolutely make that claim.
		With that said, I believe Michael Richard simply said what he felt was the consensus that night at the Laugh Factory when he saw a Black person among all the Whites.

		But the impression I got is that Richards has some real anger management problems, and when the hecklers were getting the best of him, he completely lost his cool and tried to lash back with what he thought was the most hurtful retort he could come up with.
		Michael’s apology seemed quite sincere to me. If he faked it that well, so soon after the event and on a “Live” broadcast, he’s a much better actor than anyone is giving him credit for.
		Richard has every right to be a racist, and forgiven, he is “Hollywood”, and never should we point out how ignorant, crass and stupid his outburst was.

	The Michael Richards Show \| PopMatters Television Review
		Richards is known for his physical comedy, and in this scene, he delivers.
		The genius of Richards' best moments on Seinfeld came from the subtly off-kilter way he reacted to ordinary people and situations, but as that show became increasing mannered and unrealistic toward the end of its run, his character was reduced to a slapsticky caricature.
		There's nothing wrong with predictability and generic conventions — those can actually be the building blocks of art — but The Michael Richards Show swirls two of television's most often used genres together into a unique concoction: a detective show without mystery and an office comedy without laughs.
