So, how did 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' decide to deal with the whole 'Kramer thing'? (with video)

When "Seinfeld" creator Larry David announced that the entire cast of that show would be returning for a reunion of sorts on this season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm", one of the first questions people asked was: "Even Michael Richards?"  As we all know by now, Richards had a very public, very race-related meltdown onstage while performing standup out in California awhile back.  So, how did "Curb" decide to deal with the situation?  Find out below, my gentle Examiner readers...

Michael Richards will always be dealing with the fallout from his very public, very racist outburst at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles a few years ago: that's not the sorta thing that everyone just up and forgets. 

Though the comic actor's already apologized, "Curb Your Enthusiasm" viewers and fans were given a head's-up when this "Seinfeld"-centric season of the HBO show was announced alerting us to the fact that the Larry David-led show would "deal with" Richards' outburst...somehow.  Here's "somehow" (and be aware: naughty language to follow):

We've forgiven Richards his outburst here at the Comedy Examiner's Office, like it or not, though we think that anyone who's decided not to forgive the dude for what he did is perfectly justified: how offended you are by that sort of thing depends entirely upon your tolerance for intolerance.  While we feel that Richards was certainly in the wrong, we also believe everyone deserves a second chance (well, for him, that'd be a third chance, taking into account that detective-based sitcom the actor did after "Seinfeld").  But what do you think, Examiner readers?  Did "Curb" handle this touchy subject well?  Not so much?  Sound off below, people: we wanna know what you thought!
