"Kramer's" apology opens the door for others (by Larry Elder)
Townhall.com ^ | November 30, 2006 | Larry Elder

Posted on 12/01/2006 6:00:29 PM PST by EveningStar

Here's my holiday wish list:

Dear Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton,

Please accept my apology for launching into a racist tirade against two black hecklers at my comedy show. Because I attacked two blacks in particular, I know this means I harbor deep-seated racist feelings about all blacks. While, in return, I heard words like "f---ing white boy" and "cracker-ass motherf---er," I know those epithets were directed toward me, as an individual, and not at the entire white race.

Again, please accept my deepest apologies.

Michael Richards, aka "Kramer" of "Seinfeld"

Did they call him 'names' first? I generally try not to read too much of these 'type' of stories but this doesn't seem to be going away and I'm under informed. Wasn't he harassed first?

I also want to know those questions?

Richards apologise? Don`t make me laugh. Why should he when this past week a similar Hollywood star literally shiet on every black American in this country? What`s more offensive, calling an African American the "N" word or admitting to basically sh***ing on a shrine for their freedom?

Richards should apologise when fat drunk bald POS midget Danny Devito apologises for admitting on national television that he trashed the room where Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation. And gee whiz, he trashed it just like hyphenated Clinton c**tbag Linda Bloodworth-Thomason did in the `90`s.

It seems all one needs to do nowdays is Bash bush, and all is forgiven. Too bad Richards didn`t do the same. I`m sure he as well would have been re-invited back on "The View".

Excellent read. It won't be long till Elder joins the ranks along with Powell, Rice, Cosby...attacked by the Revs. Jesse and Al. I did notice, however, that Elder did not offer up an apology from Farrakhan.

Thank you. I thought he was initially harassed by a group of people. Trying to get them thrown out was probably his best defense at the time.

He's a very decent person, and underappreciated as a talkshow host. I put him in the top six nationally syndicated hosts.

He's being shaken down. A simple apology was enough.

Lets see Richards went on Jesse Jackson radio show to apologize for his use of the word "nigger", now help me out here; wasn't Jesse Jackson the one who called New York "Hymie town"? Did he ever pay any money to those folks for his politically incorrect speech?

The NEW.... Cosmo Kramer Show...

Premise: Cosmo is the head of a group that gives a scholarship to anybody accepted with at least 25% WHITE heritage...

Plots: Panel discussion(s) of registrants(speeches at a lectern) on why they would be the best choice.. for selection.. Highlighing conversations between the registrants about the one giving the speech while the speech is in process.. Humorous cracks and all that.. Also between the Officials (Kramer and the other officials)..

He sums it up nicely with satire.

This whole thing is starting to be a really negative reflection on the black community . The guy (Richards) is obviously an idiot racist, please move on. "Make the white guy pay" regarless of a formal apology, over and over again begins to look like reverse discrimination.
