‘Seinfeld’ star Michael Richards addresses his infamous tirade in 06
Seinfeld star Michael Richards has finally spoken publicly about his infamous N-word-filled tirade in 2006, saying, “I’m not racist”.
At a stand-up show in Hollywood in November 2006, Richards, who played Kramer in the ‘90s sitcom, launched into a racist rant against a group of Black and Hispanic audience members who were heckling. Among a litany of N-words, Richards also made references to lynching and Jim Crow racial segregation laws. The rant was captured in mobile phone footage and quickly spread online.
