Michael Richards on blacks
The Laugh Factory incident
During a November 17, 2006, stand-up comedy routine at The Laugh Factory in West Hollywood, California, Richards responded to a black heckler[9] with racially charged comments, yelling, "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside-down with a ******* fork up your ass" (an apparent lynching reference [9][10][11]), and repeatedly shouting "He's a nigger!" The heckler responded by repeatedly saying "That was uncalled for!", before calling Richards a "******* cracker-ass ************" and "******* white boy." [12] The incident ended when Richards walked off of the stage, leaving an employee from The Laugh Factory apologizing afterward.[13][14] Although Richards performed at The Laugh Factory the following night without incident [15], the company has since stated that Richards is no longer welcome at the venue. [16][17]
During a November 20, 2006, satellite appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman (with Jerry Seinfeld as the pre-booked guest), Richards apologized, saying, "For me to be at a comedy club and flip out and say this crap, I'm deeply, deeply sorry... I'm not a racist. That's what's so insane about this." [18] He described his outburst as one of "pure rage." Richards stated to Letterman that he was trying to defuse the hecklers by being more outrageous, but his decision backfired.
According to the two men who were targeted by the outburst, Frank McBride and Kyle Doss, they were merely ordering drinks after arriving late to the comedy club, and not heckling. The two men, represented by Gloria Allred, are planning on suing Richards in the near future. McBride and Doss also recently appeared on The Today Show to discuss their version of the incident. The two men did not accept Richards' apology, with Doss stating, "No, I think that apology was totally fake, it was forced. I feel like that was a career move. It wasn't sincere." [19]
Michael Richards on Jewish people
On 22 November 2006, reports surfaced that Richards had made controversial comments about Jews during a stand-up routine in April 2006. Richards called a heckler a "******* Jew" and said "You people are the cause of Jesus dying." [20] Richard's publicist Howard Rubenstein confirmed the report, but added that the remarks were made as part of the act, and stated that Richards is Jewish.[21]

I think it is fair to assume Richards is a racist who got caught out, I dont accept he did it in fit of rage, he is racist.
Same with Mel Gibson he is a racist.
What is it with entertainers that they can abuse people and then claim they are sorry and it was 'out of character'
please thats bullsh*t.
But Gibson and Michael Richards are dumb racist, meaning they get caught, they should maybe take lessons from Cohen, he is an expert at being racist and getting away with it,
Cohen is a sneaky racist, and they are the worst kind.
Here is another interesting thing, when Richards came on to the Lettermen show, some audience members carried on laughing when he was supposed to be delivering his fake apology.
