Unless you have been hiding under a rock during the Thanksgiving holiday, you have no doubt heard of Michael Richards’ racist tirade at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles last week. Richard’s liberal use of the N word spread across the internet faster than news of the latest Paris Hilton snafu. Richards is a racist, of that there is no question, after all words like that don’t just “slip out.”
Regardless of Kramer’s racism, the latest actions of his supposed victims are in no way justified. Reportedly, the two targets of Kramer’s N bomb have retained an attorney with plans to sue for $10 million, apparently being the victim of racial slur entitles you to a financial windfall. If a racial slur is worth is worth millions, perhaps an ordinary insult, like “moron” or “imbecile” is worth a few hundred thousand.
