Michael Richards apologized for his now famous racial tirade in a comedy club now over a week ago on Reverend Jesse Jackson’s radio show.  Apparently Richards himself cannot even explain why he said the racially charged comments during his standup act when two black men heckled him during his act. 

He says that something overtook him, a rage, and he could not help himself.  He says he tried to look for the two men he insulted after the incident, but they had already left the club.  He also said he wanted to apologize to everyone in the audience during his tirade, but most people had left already at that point.

To watch this tirade is definitely uncomfortable, to say the least.  He goes off after the men (although I didn’t see how they heckled him, it was a poor quality video) heckle him during his appearance, calling them the N word, and saying they would have been hung upside down with a fork in their a$% years ago for interrupting him. 

It’s truly amazing that someone would go off like this in this day and age, even though it was a comedy act, it still makes you recoil in horror!
