[Insert name here] says Michael Richards is 'actually a little better' than Jerry Seinfeld

To be fair to Michael Richards, it does sound like he was remorseful of that incident 20 years ago,

Richards will also discuss the night in 2006 that he shouted racial slurs at two hecklers during one of his standup acts that led to him largely pulling out of public life and "drove him to a lifelong spiritual quest, one that would help him move forward from apology and accountability to a greater appreciation for our shared humanity, a quest that continues to this day almost eighteen years later," according to publisher Permuted Press.

And he writes that his "personal work" paid off, as he's now at peace; he no longer seeks the limelight, nor does he miss the limelight.

It seems to me, Michael Richards knew he fucked up, bowed out, and took the L.

Jerry Seinfiled, on the other hand. I would be shocked if ever he stated "Yeah, turns out. I was wrong. Free Palestine is not worse than the KKK. Israel was committing genocide."
