What is it with public figures losing their minds and going all racist lately? Mel Gibson goes off on a drunken anti-Jewish tirade, ex-Senator Allen had that whole macaca scandal, and now Michael Richards, AKA Kramer from Sienfeld, loses his shit at a stand-up show over the weekend and starts spewing racial slurs at black audience members.

A video posted on TMZ.com shows that the tirade apparently began after two black audience members started shouting at him that he wasn’t funny.

Richards retorted: “Shut up! Fifty years ago we’d have you upside down with a f—— fork up your a–.”

He then paced across the stage taunting the men for interrupting his show, peppering his speech with racial slurs and profanities.

“You can talk, you can talk, you’re brave now mother——. Throw his a– out. He’s a n—–!” Richards shouts before repeating the racial epithet over and over again.

While there is some chuckling in the audience throughout the outburst, someone can be heard gasping “Oh my God” and various people “ooh” after Richards uses the n-word.
