Sounds like the black guys were heckling him and he shot back with some pretty stupid comments. If it was funny, it would have been ok, but it wasn't. I'm not sure how he could have worked in "nigger" unless it was part of an orchestrated skit. It was kind of a John Kerry moment and came off as "total friggin' racist idiot".

I would have blown off the guy's head who said "cracker". He shouldn't have been able to walk out of there. Kramer was stupid. That other guy was a racist @sshole.

Kramer was stupid. That other guy was a racist @sshole.

And Kramer wasn't a racist a-hole? I have been to a lot of comedy clubs and I have never seen a performer talk to an audience in such a manner -- with racial slurs for the sake of racial slurs. No punch-line. No tongue-in-cheek. No Kramer pratfall. Just good ole civil rights-era racial epithets.

Who still talks like this? Racists. Comedy is subjective, but this was not comedy. This was not intended to be comedy. This cannot even be excused as a typical comedian's response to a heckler. A typical comedian's response to a heckler is, "Hey, do I come to where you work and mess with the French fry machine?" A typical comedian response to a heckler is not yelling racial slurs and then saying, "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a **** fork stuck up your ****"
