What a load of BS. The video clearly shows that both Kramer and the "victims" were exchanging racial epithets. If anything, they are even.
"Intellectually, one can try to justify a white person letting the n-word slip from their tongue. Once. But not seven times."
Backwards.
Why is it that only "white" people have to pay "reparations"?
Get a job, you grubby beggar.
it's all about the money. they'll extort some cash out of him, sya they forgive him, then ruin his career anyway.
money.
He should pay the same amount that Jackson, Sharpton and Farrakhan have paid for the racist things they have said.
This is why I can't read BAW. You would think they would put energy into worrying about the HIV/AIDS rates among blacks or other issues. This is just nonsense.
So, this is how we now finance the United Negro College Fund?
OMG, what a travesty.
I once head the Rainbow Coalition described as the Kodachrome Coalition: Slightly white on the edges and dark in the center.
Don't these people have real jobs?
Now you know. Money DOES buy happiness. I believe the leader of this particular group - PUSH - knows something about extracting money whenever possible.
You knew the shakedown was coming!!
Don't give them a dime, Kramer!
If you really want to be big-hearted, offer the 2 guys the price of their tickets.
Tell jesse and the poverty pimps to kiss off.
Is this the same Judge Mathis who has a TV Show?
Why should he pay a freakin' think to anyone? He said what he said. There is no point whatsoever in trying to buy forgiveness. Any donation he makes isn't going to be appreciated, and more importantly, isn't going to be sincere.
I'm really tired of people thinking that 1) people have to buy their way out of trouble and 2) that anyone should be fined/penalized for saying something when they're under no contractual obligation to the offended party.
Well, and then people who get offended over each and every little thing annoy me the post, but I think I've griped enough in this post.
[re-dons happy face] :)
where's the barf alert?
Here's fun fact to know and tell from the Whitman/Walker Clinic in DC:
The Nation's Capital has a higher rate of HIV infection than 22 sub-Saharan countries.
According to the Clinic, one in twenty adults in DC is HIV positive.
This is advertised on a billboard in the subway in DC.
I sure think that's more important than sticking a fork in Michael Richards.
I'm sitting here in my hotel room in Hymietown and as sure as Tony Romo has an African-American great-grandmother, I can't figure out what the heck you are talking about.
What about Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? when do they start paying for being offensive?
Kramer Rant Boosts DVD Sales

It seems that there really is no such thing as bad press -- even press generated by racist tirades.
Sales of season seven of "Seinfeld" are up 75% over season six and 90% over season five -- after one week of sales, according to website DVD Empire. Meanwhile, DeepDiscountDVD.com reports a staggering 178% increase over season six. Sales are up despite Jesse Jackson calling for a boycott.
Seasons five and six were released on the same day last year. TMZ's video of Michael Richards' hideous harangue was first seen on November 20 -- one day before season seven was released. Richards went on "The Late Show with David Letterman" that same night to apologize.
To paraphrase Seinfeld ... is there anything wrong with that?
