"Kramer" Apologizes on Rev. Jackson's Radio Show
WKRC.com ^ | 11/26/06

Posted on 11/26/2006 10:16:51 AM PST by LdSentinal

The actor best known as "Kramer" from the show Seinfeld has apologized on Reverand Jesse Jackson's syndicated radio show for a racist outburst he made at a comedy club ten days ago.

Michael Richards says it wasn't bigotry, but anger which fueled the swear loaded shoutfest.

Richards told Jackson that he never before has used racially charged language, and that the comments he made came through him "like a freight train."

Rev. Jackson reacted to the apology by calling the outburst "hateful", but claimed the show was an opportunity for discussions on the entertainment industry's "cultural isolation."

I wonder how much Richards had to give JJ to get his words out?

Did the "reverend" Jesse "If The Condom Don't Fit, Don't Wear It" Jackson also apologize for committing adultery, getting one of his subordinates pregnant? I'm still waiting for my personal apology from him.

Oh, I forgot... Adultery is **way cool** in the demoncrat party.

I can only hope that this national paralysis will soon pass as we move onto healing in the wake of this catastrophic event.

Un-f'in-believable! And the white man's guilt continues. Reperations aren't far. We have to pay blacks for the "psychological harm" done to them thru their ancestors in slavery. There isn't enough "bling" in the world that will ever satisfy the appetite of victimhood and "take" mentality.

Jackson knows about apologies:

Due to the great consternation caused by the revelation of my act of procreation, I accept my obligation to give an explanation to the population for my act of copulation I gave in to temptation, for the anticipation of sexual gratification, that I could not obtain through masturbation, resulted in my fornication I accepted her invitation, and provided her with excitation, stimulation, penetration, replication, and liberation She provided lubrication (to avoid inflammation) and I wore condoms to avoid contamination. She cried for duplication but I insisted upon termination, in spite her fascination with variation This has caused me great aggravation, and the agitation and provocation of the media has resulted in my humiliation, denigration, and degradation.

My wife is considering castration, which would require my hospitalization Pray that this matter will find culmination in my sanctification and rehabilitation so that my plans for nomination to my ultimate vocation will not result in revocation and termination. I hope this proclamation has provided illumination and verification and will prohibit further provocation.

Keep Hope Alive!

Good morning.
"Richards told Jackson that he never before has used racially charged language, and that the comments he made came through him "like a freight train.""

Clearly the devil made him do it.

BTW, if anybody remembers the "Greaseman" from Washington, DC and his "racist" joke on the air(radio)his career was completely destroyed by Jackson/Sharpton. So will "Kramers". I'll actually be happy to see Kramers go down. Licking at the shoes of Jackson and the NAACP etc should never be an option. If Kramer had any cujones he'd of told them to screw off! He was on stage in a comedy club where anything goes. Believe me, you go to the Apollo or any "black" club and tearing "whitey" a new one is the norm.

Michael Richards is a liberal. Deep down they all think like Richards. I'm enjoying watching him twist in the wind.

A black man flipped me off for over a half-mile on the highway in the middle of the day in front of others in Texas recently. Proof that racial equality has now been achieved.

Better to have just issued a simple as in 'humble, honest.. .apology'. ..and then just disappear for a year or so. . .go to Europe- whatEVER.

Instead we hear a stumbling/bumbling almost apology embedded with a social message, a lecture and more than a dose of collective guilt offered up on 'our' behalf.

Stupid is as stupid does. . .and 'Kramer' just keeps on. . .keepin on'. . .
