The guys heckling him were also making racial slurs, I don't see anyone upset about that.
You'd be upset too if you were black. Sorry is just a convenient word that may or may not be genuine. I'm willing to bet that he apologized because he wanted to save his career, not because he gave a damn about the African-Americans. Instead of seeing it from your point of view. Try to see it from that of the victims.
I'm black. I don't care. The whole incident amuses me.
Same here. I'm black, but it doesn't really get under my skin that much. It has NO BEARING WHATSOVER on my thoughts of his as a comedic actor in Seinfeld. I loved him in Seinfeld and will ALWAYS love him as Kramer. What he did recently has NO bearing on that.
Stay amused. Would you be amused if that was your next of kin? Maybe?
EDIT: I doubt your love for a bigot (in real life) would've changed if this was a non-recorded incident. But it was recorded and we all saw it. At best he's a closeted bigot, at worst, he has serious racial problems. Either way the act he put on Letterman probably convinced you that he's a great actor and you bought it hook, line, and sinker just like you bought the Kosmo Kramer acts on Seinfeld.
What if he's just a really angry person who was confronted with two black hecklers and, for better or worse, he figured the easiest way to piss them off as much as they did him was to attack their race?
What if he's just a puppet for the real racist, Jerry Seinfeld?
I think all are equally plausible.
Well, if you want to take this into a bizarre scenerio then go ahead, but I won't follow your wild thoughts, as plausible as they might be. It's also plausible that you might be a raging pedophile who is defending Kramer out of respect for the anomalies of the world. But I won't go there either.
Are you a Scientologist? That line is straight out of their handbook for dealing with people who challenge them.
That being said, I think my first example is complete possible.
I'm not but I find it interesting that you said that because you try to bring up one of an infinite number of possible scenerios that just isn't probable and you wanted me to discuss it. It's possible but not probable so let just leave it in the twilight zone. Let's deal with reality, not fantasy.
