A Different View

I do not believe that Michael Richards is racist. I believe he is someone with an anger problem and used words he knew would cut the deepest against someone he at which he wanted to get back. I have seen and experienced racism at its finest. This too me wasn't racism, but rather ignorance.

I also don't see where not buying the 7th season of Seinfeld DVD has anything to do with this. Jesse is overreaching, imo.

I believe it has gotten too much press and hype and I do believe that Richards is truly sorry.

I didn't sense that the laughter on Letterman had anything to do with him using Afro American. imo it was because he looked like he was in character and about to do a Kramerism. The audience wasn't sure if this was serious or a joke--and I didn't either until Jerry said it isn't funny.
