Kramer goes off Mel Gibson style

During a radio interview many years ago, I heard Jerry Seinfeld describe Richards as the "token Gentile" on the show. That's why I doubted Richards' Jewishness. I figured -- after the Rubenstein comment -- that maybe Richards' father was part Jew, but that doesn't appear to be the case, either.
 
 Oh well... I guess he feels so guilty that he feels Jewish.

 If you really want to hear the dreaded " N " word fly, just wait until that horrible hag Madonna drops dead and her two natural white children go to war with the pet Ubangi over her sizeable estate.
 
  "Well, little Mbutu, Mommy Dearest has died and gone to that Thatched Hut In The Sky.  Me and Madonna, Jr. are going to split up Mommy's stacks of useless green paper between us and you can have this big shiny ball of aluminum foil!"
 
      "Ungowa!"*
 
 
 *Ubangi for "Thanks!"

i just love how mister "hymie town" himself is now wanting a boycott of seinfeld, though he would never boycott a rapper who would be out on their asses and not in the studio making hypocrite money if it wasn't for that infamous word.  and i won't even go into the world of mister "Tawana Brawley."
 
 paul mooney is now boycotting the entire use, alla richard pryor after he went to africa, of the word by everyone.

Years ago when Seinfeld was new, Cindy Crawford had that tv show on MTV. She interviewed Michael Richards and they meditated and peformed yoga next to his pool. (I remember this why??) I guess he's not so centered now...

i think just the whole thing shows how little a sense of humour everyone really has and how ultra-sensitive everyone has become.

Considering the whiny bullshit that has erupted in the wake of Richards's horrifying outburst, I propose a simple solution:
 
 THE "SHUT UP" BOAT
 
 Black Americans who can't shut the fuck up about oppression here will have a simple choice:
 
 1) Shut the fuck up.
 
 2) Get on a boat back to Africa.
 
 
 We'll need a canoe to accommodate all the takers.
 
 Because...let's face it...blacks here have it better than they do anywhere on Earth.
 
 And I won't shut the fuck up about it.
 
 Let's keep it REAL, OK?

They tried that already.

Yeah, and most found they liked it here better.
 
 Liberia is waiting for you Jesse & Al !!!

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"
 
 Dear Anti-Defamation League,
 
 Once again, please accept my apology for calling Jews "Hymies" and referring to New York City as "Hymie-town."  As I said at the time, "Charge it to my head . . . not my heart."
 
 Sincerely, Rev. Jesse Jackson
 
 Dear NAACP, Urban League and Congress of Racial Equality,
 
 Please accept my apology for, during concerts in which I sang my song "Gold Digger", giving whites permission to sing along and use the "n-word."  Perhaps Michael Richards attended one of my concerts and left not realizing his license had expired.
 
 Kanye West, hip-hop artist/rapper
 
 Dear Jewish Defense League, Korean-American Grocer Association and Council on American-Islamic Relations,
 
 Please accept my apology for, while serving as a Wal-Mart spokesperson, condemning Jewish, Korean and Arab inner-city merchants for "overcharging" blacks.  I also inexcusably said that these merchants sell "stale bread and bad meat and wilted vegetables."  Charge that to my head, not my heart.
 
 Sincerely yours, Andrew Young, former U.N. ambassador for the United States, former mayor of Atlanta and former colleague of Martin Luther King, Jr.
 
 Dear Democratic National Committee,
 
 During the recent election cycle, the Republican Party ran a number of blacks -- among them Maryland Lieutenant Governor Michael Steele for Senate, Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell for governor, and Lynn Swann for governor in Pennsylvania.  So please accept my apology for saying Republicans have a "white-boy attitude", which means "I must exclude, denigrate and leave behind."
 
 Sincerely yours, Donna Brazile, former Al Gore 2000 campaign manager
 
 Dear White Community,
 
 Please accept my apology for my statement during the 2002 "Millions For Reparations" rally: "I just might walk up to the nearest white man and say, 'You don't understand this, this is a black thing,' and slap 'em, just for my mental health.  If they don't pay us reparations now, we're talking about scorched earth."  There goes my head!
 
 Sincerely yours, Charles Barron, New York City councilman
 
 Dear Anti-Defamation League,
 
 Please accept my apology.  I lost my temper during my husband's unsuccessful 1974 congressional campaign.  Bill's campaign adviser, Paul Fray, and his wife publicly claim that I called Fray a "f---ing Jew bastard."  I don't recall this, but assuming I did, what was I thinking?  It wasn't my heart.
 
 Sincerely yours, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
 
 Dear Jesse Jackson and local Little Rock, Ark., black activist Robert "Say" McIntosh,
 
 Former Arkansas State Trooper Larry Patterson publicly claimed I referred to the two of you as "n--gers."  Ditto what Hillary just said.
 
 Sincerely, Former President of the United States Bill Clinton
 
 Dear Ward Connerly and anyone in an interracial relationship,
 
 When you led the successful campaign in California to end race-based preferences, I criticized you, a black man, saying, "He's married a white woman.  He wants to be white.  He wants a colorless society.  He has no ethnic pride.  He doesn't want to be black."  My bad.
 
 Sincerely, Rep. Diane Watson, D-Calif.
 
 Dear Republican National Committee,
 
 Please accept my apology for saying, after the Republicans took over Congress in 1994, "It's not 'spic' or 'n--ger' anymore.  They say 'let's cut taxes.'"  Also, I apologize for, following Katrina, publicly saying, "George Bush is our Bull Connor"  --referring to the former Birmingham, Ala., police commissioner, who turned water hoses and dogs on civil rights workers.  My head and heart were clashing.
 
 Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., incoming House Ways and Means Committee chairman
 
 Dear Anti-Defamation League and White Community,
 
 Please accept my apologies for calling whites "interlopers" and referring to Jews as "diamond merchants", and, during a conflict between Jews and blacks, saying, "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house."  They were mistakes of the head, not the heart.
 
 Rev. Al Sharpton, civil rights activist and former host of "Saturday Night Live"
 
 Dear Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice and other minority members of the Bush administration,
 
 Please accept my apology for, while co-hosting a radio show in 2001, calling Bush's minority appointees "Uncle Tom types."  I made a mistake of the head, not the heart.
 
 Sincerely yours, Gloria Allred, attorney at law, currently representing the black "victims" of Michael Richards' racist rant
 
 Now, don't we all feel better?

I was watching "Inside Edition" at work last night and the nyuck-nyucks just keep rolling in on this one...
 
 First, the owner of the Laugh Factory banned the "n" word from the place.
 
 Then, comedian Damon Wayans went on to use the word sixteen times in a 20-minute set.
 
 He said that he didn't want a white man to be the last person to use that word in the Laugh Factory.
 
 He was fined 20 dollars per offense ($320 bucks).
 
 And now...the Great Black Schism is underway.  
 
 Luminaries like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Jay-Z, Spike Lee, etc are all taking sides on the N-word issue.
 
 It's better than Bloods v. Crips, East Coast Rappers v. West Coast Rappers...
 
 Man, the Soul Train Awards are going to be a HOOT this year...

Lost Seinfeld episode

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/12/racism.poll/index.html  
 
 (CNN) -- Most Americans, white and black, see racism as a lingering problem in the United States, and many say they know people who are racist, according to a new poll.
 
 You've heard of this scourge, this pestilence. You even know a few people - but no one you'd associate with! - who have caught it. Occasionally you find yourself walking down the street, and suddenly you feel a hot, foul wind blow across your delicate face. Is it racism? Jesus, perish the thought!  
 
 Did I catch it? You think, wringing your hands.  
 
 No, no. I couldn't have. Not me. I couldn't catch racism.
 
 And you walk on, so lost in your thoughts that you don't realize you're sniffling.
 
 But few Americans of either race -- about one out of eight -- consider themselves racist.
 
 "Ha. Ha." You chuckle nervously. "No, no," you say, pulling your sleeves down, hiding your face behind your hand, "it's... it's just a little scratch. Just a cold. Feeling a bit under the weather." And you put your sunglasses on, hoping they didn't see the bags under your eyes. You haven't been sleeping well lately.  
 
 And as you walk away, you know, deep down, that you've caught something much worse than the flu, much more insidious than a common sniffle. The adrenaline bursts inside you. Did they see it? Did they see the canker?  
 
 And experts say racism has evolved from the days of Jim Crow to the point that people may not even recognize it in themselves.
 
 Racism is truly a silent killer. A disease of the mind, which, like a parasite, numbs its victims as it enters their bodies.  
 
 It's symptoms, in the beginning, are nebulous at best. A feeling of fatigue at seeing an illegal Mexican - who, just the night before, floated down the border sewer pipe in a tequila barrel - hanging on the fence of your local Home Depot like a possum. A cramping in the abdomen born from hearing that yet another Asian car maker bumped a good white man off the Ford assembly line. A slight burning itch around the anus when you spot a black man holding hands with a pretty li'l white thing, her blonde hair brushing against his sooty skin.  
 
 "She looks just like my daughter." You think. "Did he kidnap her? That dirty NIG-"
 
 And you stop yourself with a choke. You're paralyzed with fear. That word, that terrible word, is in there. Spreading, infecting. You can see it there, slowly unfolding, and despite your attempts to stop it, it metastasizes.  
 
 N. I. G.  
 
 The letters burn into your brain, one by one, forming the deathword. Oh jesus christ please, make it stop!  
 
 G. E. R.
 
 There's no mistaking it. You're sick. You're dying from racism.
 
 "We've reached a point that racism is like a virus that has mutated into a new form that we don't recognize," Dovidio said.
 
 And there's no cure.
