Warning : this video is profane, racial and disturbing

Friday night Seinfeld's actor Michael Richards who played Cosmo Kramer had a physical meltdown Friday at the Laugh Factory comedy club. He was in his words "interupted" by a African American patron to his show Kyle Ross and he lost it.Richards responded to the heckling by screaming "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass." The Tirade goes on and gets much worse when he starts pointing and screaming "he's a ni#$er" over and over.

I have watched the video and I promise you that it is hard to stomach. I am the type of guy that can handle a pretty rough joke but this doesn't come off as a joke in the least. The way that this comes off is hateful and disgusting.

Here is a link to the video but I warn you that it is very disturbing. The only good thing about this is that people in the audience had the balls to stand up, do the right thing and leave the show. Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing in the moment but a few people got it right in this clip.

I just watched the video one more time and it is really really really bad.
