Jesse Jackson Wants a Seinfeld Boycott for Kramer Tirade --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By Jim Roberts Nov 28, 2006

That didn't take long. Jesse Jackson is now heavily involved in the racist rant put forth by Michael Richards aka 'Kramer' from the popular '90's hit television sitcom Seinfeld. Richards went on Jesse Jackson's nationally syndicated radio program, "Keep Hope Alive," as a part of a series of apologies for the incident over the weekend.

Jesse Jackson Wants a Seinfeld Boycott for Kramer Tirade

Jackson, has called Richards' words "hateful," "sick," and "deep-seated, and for once in his life jess Jackson is right.

***

Of course that didn't last long as Jackson then called for a boycott of the Seinfeld DVD set that went on sale last week to protest Richards' racial tirade at a comedy club in Los Angeles last week.

Yes - that will really solve something.

***

Richards, who played Jerry Seinfeld's wacky neighbor Kramer on the TV sitcom "Seinfeld," was performing at West Hollywood's Laugh Factory last week when he lashed out at hecklers with a string of racial obscenities and profane language. A cell phone video camera captured the outburst, and the incident later appeared on TMZ.com.

Richards told Jackson the tirade was fueled by anger, not bigotry. He said he wanted to hurt those who had hurt him.

"I was in a place of humiliation," he said.

Hard to say what should happen to Richards. He has really no career and has been unable to sustain the Seinfeld momentum. But moving to Jesse Jackson for healing was a huge error as Jackson will want to make it about the person he cares most about.

Jesse Jackson.

You're suggesting that Jerry Seinfeld ordered/arranged for Richards to go on Letterman? To protect his financial interests as they relate to the release of Season 7?

Seinfeld is rich. I doubt he cares at all if anyone buys the DVD. Plus, he'd be wise to distance himself from Richards.

[F.J. Mitchell]

"Leech" comes to mind.

[Main Street]

In no way am I defending Richards behavior or use of the ENWURD. It was racist, plain and simple. He was attempting to publicly humiliate, belittle, and ridicule Gloria's two "innocent gentleman victims".

What the mass media and most talking heads always ignore, was before his racist outburst, these two "gentleman" were also attempting to publicly humiliate, belittle, and ridicule Richards who was trying to do his job.

Funny how the media always conveniently edits out the part that the PC media call their "playful" interruptions, "playful" heckling and "playful" insults, before Richards retaliated. They did the same thing with the Rodney King Video so as to maximize black outrage and white guilt.

It's also interesting that all of our liberal Media armchair psychiatrists, and so called black leaders and the racist hypocrites, such as "Reverend" Jesse 'Hymietown' & ' I spit in white peoples food' Jackson, and "Reverend" Al 'Tawana Brawley' Sharpton (whom the media treat like they're pure as the driven snow, and never challenge them about their own racist past) always see Richards' racially inflammatory response, after being angered by his hecklers, as proof that deep down inside he is a racist, YET, totally ignore this also angry black male's racially inflammatory response of "Cr*cka *ss white boy!", as evidence that deep down inside this black male is a racist too!

I wonder what would happen to a white male if he went to let's say a black night club and "playfully" interrupted, heckled and insulted the black act on stage. One thing for sure, whatever is said or done to the white guy by some of the blacks in that night club, no matter how racist or violent, the national media will ignore it.

Why the double standard?

Because it is in the best interests of the liberal media (i.e. Democrat media, i.e. Democratic Party) and race hustlers, such as Jesse and Al, to keep blacks solidly as the victim class. That is why black racism, as in this incident, is always excused as "playful" or "innocent", or ignored entirely and forgotten. And the rare incident of open white racism, again as in this incident, is reported repeatedly for weeks, months, if not years after.

On Jesse Jackson, the proud papa of a child with a woman who was not his wife, and "leader" of the "Rainbow Coalition" that encompasses EVERY color of the Rainbow, just so long as it's BLACK. Who won the hearts of Jewish voters everywhere, when he referred to New York as "Hymie Town", during his failed Democratic presidential campaign.

Well, as he is outraged by Richards racist rant, this fellow racist hypocrite and former Black Panther leader admitted during an interview published in a November,1969 'Life' article that he used to enjoy spitting into the food of white customers, when he worked as a waiter in Greenville, South Carolina.

A July 1972 article in the New York Times stated, quote, "Jesse would spit into their soup or salad before he brought it to the table, and watch with enjoyment as whites ate gobs of saliva as though it were, say, oil and vinegar dressing."

When he was a teenager, he would often make degrading jokes of white people. A former classmate and friend, Horace Nash, said, quote, "He made up foolish jokes about whites, about how stupid they were. He used to turn things around, and he actually looked down on white people."

As far as I know this black racist Democrat has never apologized or been asked to do so.

But it appears he reserves his worst treatment for fellow blacks, who are Conservatives. When Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson, a black Conservative, attempted to speak at the Los Angeles Trade Bureau Forum, this man of the cloth claimed to have been physically attacked, and verbally assaulted by Jesse Jackson and his supporters with among other things, a Bill Clinton holy blessing: "Suck my d**k, you stupid n*gg*r. Shut the f**k up, and get your black *ss out of here, n*gg*r!"

Here we have a famous black "Reverend" and his black friends said to have repeatedly used the ENWURD, not in some endearing form of greeting by a fellow black (the reason so many say it's ok for blacks to use it) but as a racial insult meant to hurt and degrade, just like Richards did.

And yet this blatant racism received little media attention, no apology, and no outrage, particularly by those who now only criticize Richards.

[Revenge of Sith]

Jackson led a boycott (which NOW also participated in BTW) of the Rolling Stones' album "Some Girls" in 1978 because the title track contained the lyrics, "Black girls want to get f#({ed all night long." Ironically, it became the Stones' biggest selling album because many blacks liked the disco sound in "Miss You."

I just checked "Seinfeld" through IMDb and its DVD icon link to Amazon.com.

Cut & Paste if there's no Hyperlink.

The latest DVD Season Set (Season 7) is one of the Bestsellers of 2006.

Jack.

[drew]

Ordering copies for me and all of my family.

[Armedanddangerous]

Jesse didnt accept his apology..he apparently wanted Kramer to cut his wrists with a dirty razor blade to show how sorry he really REALLY was.

[Michael.SF.]

I don't know who I hate more, Jackson or Kramer.

You need diversity of feelings, my man.

For there is much that we do, and we can.

Hate?

Is never too late. For that is no more then fate.

But Richard, he is but a fool.

And to the white man, just a tool.

As for me,

I think of Mr. T

And take pity on the fool, as you see.

[Sue Perkick]

A DVD is coming out. Like Jerry Seinfeld needs the money.

[maggief]

Could Je$$e's racism be "deep-seated" against a show created by a "Hymies" and takes place in "Hymietown?"

/sarc (sort of)

[Sue Perkick]

The people Jackson appeals to probably didn't watch the show anyway. Jesse Jackson is like a gnat. Insignificant but annoying.

[all the best]

I was trying to figure what bothered me about this whole affair. Finally got it. One man insulted what was it two men. That makes it three people. The whole unfortunate personal incident-and yes it was rather low and nasty-has been nationalized. Just a few people involved. Everything personal does not have to be collectivized or nationalized. All the egomaniacs should have let those big boys solve it themselves. Or better yet the insulted should have just forgotten about it like grown men. Most of us have been insulted and we manage to move on without dragging millions of people into it.

[beachn4fun]

Oh, that's because a black person can say the "N" word, but whitey can't.

[johnny7]

I'll bet Jerry was blackmailed too.

Jackson: “Hello dare'... let me speak to George Steinbrenner puhlease... I'm callin' bout' his participation on dat' racist, hymie-show called 'Seinfeld'.”

[Osage Orange]

Nailed it.......

[DesScorp]

Jessie Jackson ranting about racism is hypocrisy at it's worst. He hates Jews...ask Jessie if he's been to Hymietown lately.

[Courdeleon02]

Now maybe some liberals, Sienfeld included might wake up to the hypocrisy of people like Jackson. Such people are not deserving of an apology.

[angcat]

You need diversity of feelings, my man.



I'm a female and I'm very diverse. I hate Jesse Jackass and I hate Hollywood so that includes Kramer of whatever his real name is. I'm from Yonkers NY and I am very diverse!

[Revolting cat!]

Everything personal does not have to be collectivized or nationalized.

Yours is a voice in the wilderness. Read here all the fiery condemnations of Richards, who was the one insulted first, and no condemnations of the two homeboys who insulted him (oh, no, that would be "RACIST"!) I agree with you, insults were exchanged in some nightclub between the performer and drunken patrons, nothing unusual about that. The patrons should have been 86d out of that club. Instead they become instant idiot box celebrities. Get me out of here quick!

[Quilla]

Don't forget Jackie Chiles, Kramer's attorney. ;-)
