Seinfeld on "Kramer" Tirade: "I Am Sick"

Jerry Seinfeld and Michael RichardsThe jerk store called. They ran out of Michael Richards.

Just hours after TMZ exposed "Kramer's" vile and racially-charged diatribe at a Hollywood comedy club, the actor's former "Seinfeld" co-stars are weighing in.

In a statement released by Jerry Seinfeld, the comedian said, "I am sick over this. I'm sure Michael is also sick over this horrible, horrible mistake. It is so extremely offensive. I feel terrible for all the people who have been hurt."

4. So Cari, Seinfeld should turn his back on a friend of 30 years? I'm sure you're perfect and have never made any mistake, right? Shut the fu&k up and leave Seinfeld out of this ,PC moron.

5. To Jerry Seinfeld: Jerry, I am sorry but Michael Richards tirade was not just a "mistake" as you say, but a sickness that goes right to the core of a person. It is racism and all about hate, and those people rarely change, no matter what they say afterward to try to cover it up. I hope he knows the seriousness of what he said. Hate is hate.

6. Wow Lilly such an intelligent statement. Really helps your cause. Kind of makes you look pathetic in the process. At least someone apologizing for these unacceptable remarks. Good for Jerry. Michael Richard just wrote his own ending.

7. You know, I for one get pretty tired of ethnic groups saying what they want about others but crying foul when the same thing happens to them. A case in point -

I recently read Oppenheimer's shallow book on the Hiltons, in which he accuses them of being money-hungry and bashes them for being Catholic and wearing crosses. But I suppose Oppenheimer, the Jew, had no ulterior motives in writing his book.Right? You don't suppose he meant to make money off the Hilton name,do you????

The funniest part in the book is when he accuses Paris of being racist and anti-Jewish,just because bigmouth Brandon Davis once said so when - he tried to get back at her for dumping him. LOL.

Brandon doesn't care what he says. Gimme a break.!

Paris is 25 and interested in nice clothes, cute guys,and making money. Her publicist is the courtly Elliott Mintz, her friends in the business all have different ethnic back grounds. I don't believe for one minute that she knows or even cares about the intricacies of anyone's heritage.

My point is, everyone shut the fuck up already about white people supposedly insulting other groups. There are plenty of insults and prejudices coming from members of ethnic groups themselves.

8. Puh der Baer, you're an idiot just like "Kramer"

9. Everyone has to be 'politically correct' and 'say the right thing'..who really cares! Perhaps the hecklers pushed HIS buttons and he reacted emotionally - I am so sick of having to defend any actions that blacks find offensive..but yet having to tolerate TONS of offensive behavior. It's everywhere. I had someone call me a racist because I aked them to give me a definition to a word they used!

10. I don't think Lilly looks/sounds pathetic at all. You'd turn YOUR back on a long-time friend???
Sometimes people just snap, what they say isn't necessarily what they truly mean, but everybody here knows all the words, and all the right buttons to push when truly fed up. He wanted maximum reaction, unfortunately he got it. If somebody (black) was calling me a dumb cracker from the audience, I don't know what I'd say if the mood was right/wrong, but it wouldn't be pretty, and it wouldn't mean I a racist deep-down.

11. No excuse works. He was wrong. Having your friend say he's sorry for what you said, does not excuse the remarks. I agree his career is over, or it should be!

12. Crapbag? How apropo. If you actually READ my post I said Jerry should not turn his back on a friend of 30 years. NOT that an apology was not in order. Now run along to your sensitivity training idiot

13. Maybe he should have put an "A" at the end of the "N" word and then it would have been a term of endearment. Whites have one group, the KKK and they get all kinds of flack for that.

14. Jerry, Excelent way to support every one involved in this Tragedy and also show the humiliating compatuion for all those who were hurt!

15. Angie, you shut the f*** up, if white people feel a double standard complain about it other races have the balls to speak out, don't get mad cause whites don't.
