Michael "Kramer" Richards racist tirade (1 Viewer)

Thanks for pointing that out, Travis. I thought I'd heard Eminem use the word in his songs, but I guess it was the other guys on his records that I was thinking of in this instance. Somehow I still think that he could get by with using it much easier than most white dudes because of his widespread acceptance in the black community(even if he did take some heat for saying it in the past).

Back to Mr. Richards, it is nice to see that harmony can be achieved and the hurt he caused can be erased by something as simple as money. Yes, I have heard on the news that the victims in question have a lawyer and are looking at financial restitution for their suffering.

If only I were the judge, I'd say they are owed the price of their tickets back and get on with life.

The club already announced they were refunding the entire audience, including food and drinks.

And it will all pay for itself with all of the free national publicity they have gotten.

I agree for the most part with WillG and RexB.

Personally, we see a lot from the secular/apeasement group in the media which loves to jump on people like them due to their views. Richards said he wasn't a raceist, just lost his cool. That's good enough for me because everyone has lost their temper and said bad things at some point in their life. Gibson on the otherhand was clearly a case of of being motivated by his religion. Most of the Jewish community forgave him immediatly because they knew he had issues with alchohol. Everyone on Earth has issues to deal with and being religious means forgiveness no matter what. But the typical secular progressive/liberal news media mainly showed the Jewish leaders that were against him, not accounting for the ones that said they did forgive.

Bottom line, everyone makes mistakes and has issues in their life. As a spiritual/religious person, you are to forgive anyone at any time for any problems if they ask for it. Both of these people have done so and that's good enough for me.

A funny take on this whole thing:

If anything Richards should be required to relinquish the kavorka.

I’m currently watching season 7 and a new perspective came to my mind. This incident affects your enjoyment of the show? Why? I was watching the Rye episode and Jerry steals from an old lady. He doesn’t just steal her, he assaults and forces her. So, they are not good people in the series and they are not good people in real life. It’s perfect!
Now, if they were good people in the series and doing bad things in real life, that would have affected my viewing!

The day after I found out about the incident, TBS ran the episode where Kramer falls asleep in the tanning bed. The scene where he meets his African-American girlfriend's family while sporting his "dark" tan took on a whole new meaning.

If You think that takes on a new meaning, try the episode where Kramer has to apologize to the monkey at the zoo. Watch it with your eyes closed, and that takes on a new meaning!

Perhaps both of you should watch that video made by National lampoon, called "Seinfeld: The Lost Episode", which was linked to on page 3 of this thread, and once again, linked here:

'Takes on a whole new meaning', huh? Wait'll you see this video.
