I have nothing to whine about.

It's you who's doing the "crucified white man" routine.

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.

I agree.

I also think it's dumb for there to be litigation over this. There are lessons to learn from this, whether it be about anger management or race. What doesn't need to be learned/reminded is that people are opportunists who will claim injury as a result of words just for the hell of it. The man is seeking resolution for whatever reasons and suing him does nothing but reinforce a litigous society.

I was referring to redeeming his career. His 15 minutes will fizzle eventually and he would probably want another 15, sometime before he dies. I don't care whether he does or not, because there are many more racist people who are more germane to my life right now.

Without a doubt, I believe he is a racist, but then again, who isn't? After watching that video, all I could think was... Jackass!!! and not the funny MTV version either.
