Default micheal richards (kramer)

hey with all this drama about micheal richards and his rascist comments has got me thinking. is he going insane? he is 57 and maybe he is getting old age problems.
kramer was my most beloved character in the hit series seinfield but all these controversy has got me wondering. he has been reported yelling such rascist comments at jewish people (later claiming he is jewish) he has threated 2 black men and then later said he was not a rascist. he has also been reported to have threatend a producer on one of his last tv series. he was seen crying in the corner like a baby.
has he seeked psycological help and maybe he should have a cat scan because he is acting so odd it leaves me wondering that maybe he has a chemical imbalance in his brain, or a tumor. am i right in sharing my concerns or do you think he is just having a hard time lately and he is probably fine?
please share your thoughts about him

You've spelt it wrong though. It's spelt Michael, not Micheal. This is something that annoys me because my real name is Michael

(best Arnie voice) "It's NOT a tumor!!!" :
I s'pose after what, 9-10 seasons, playing a character who seemed to be emotionally disturbed, maybe some of it finally got to him.

old age problems can happen. some people are 50 something and feel really old but there are 70 year olds that can act like they are still 40. it depends on genes and life style i guess. but i think maybe micheal richards who is such a smart guy might have developed a slight mental issue after acting like a complete moron on seinfeild for so long. it surprises alot of people just how well he acted that part. but does anyone think that it could have a problem mentally or he has just had a hard time lately?

I find it funny that minorities can say whatever they like about everything, racist or whatever, and its perfectly fine.

Yet when someone says something about a minority, well then thats racist.

Don't get me wrong, I think that that sort of language should have consequences, I just don't think it should be all directed at anglo saxons

You are correct to a certain extent. Racism should be a two way street.... But we are not quite there yet. Fear is the greatest inducer of racism.

from that night what i was told was he was harrased by those guys all night, made some 'offensive' 'racist' jokes....next night everything was fine

im not sure how it started and dont care but if those guys want to dish out crap, then expect it back or say nothing, if kramer just lost it and his jokes sucked then maybe he should appologise for it but its nothing to start saying hes gonna get death threats from it.

maybe he was only saying what a lot of other Americans are too scared to say.
Im damn sure a lot of Americans feel the same way about some of the things he said. he just had the balls to say it.
