The Seinfeld Dude....

I'm not sure what Jews had to do with this, but it's great that some of you brought it up in this thread and in the one in the Entertainment forum. Really, no biases of any sort is evident in those comments.

And I'm sure his racist comments justified comments such as "Cracker" and "White boy" as well.


Look at this Jewish girl from Uganda...she is racist against blacks.


Look at these Jewish girls from India...they are racist against blacks.

It would be great if for once you brought up Hispanics or Chinese people out of nowhere in a thread about racism.

Jews by ethnicity and Jews by religious affiliation--you can be one without the other.

The relevance of Richards being Jewish is that 50 years ago some Jews were slain in the name of antisemitism. There were signs on some restaurants that said "No Jews or dogs." So if a Jewish person forgets where she or he comes from and spews hatred toward minority groups, that person has clearly forgotten a time when Jews hadn't assimilated and weren't considered "white." They were barely considered human.

Michael Richards isn't Jewish.

The article didn't come up--there was an error.

There has been debate as to whether or not he's Jewish so if he isn't, I'm glad that's cleared up.

I think because he played a primary character on Seinfeld, everyone assumes he was Jewish... Just saying... I have no comment on dude's religious affiliation and really don't care that much.

Aside from that:

Interesting the black folks in the audience where Michael Richards had ranted and spewed his venomous epithets said they plan to sue him.

It'll probably turn into a civil suit and some folks will make a little money focusing on lunatic...

I like the Seinfeld show

Michael Richards is racist. Over 3/4 of the white population probably is. I would have been very pissed if I was in the audience and I probably would have started a riot. But other than that he is racist and that pretty much doesnt make or break my day.

Now I think people have gone over board with this lawsuit issue. But then again he's a rich man and it looks like they will probably get some compensation for this incident. So go for it and break him where it hurts the most.

Why did he apologize to Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharpton...were they there??

Thanks from posting that. Aside from the fact that he's not Jewish he made some sort of bizarre remark about Jews killing Jesus. But what makes people even care if he's Jewish? It matters not one bit. What makes people think he's Jewish? The big nose and curly hair? Bias. Hate. Ignorance. Call it what you want, but those that live in glass houses shouldn't cast stones.

Still waiting on someone to address the fact that someone was racist and called him a Cracker and a White Boy.
