KRAMER!!!!!!!!!

It appears that our lovable Cosmo Kramer has put his big foot into his even bigger mouth. Michael Richards is an amazing talent, but stand-up doesn't seem to be the poor guy's forte'.

Okay, we've all seen the video of Michael going off on a group of Afro-Americans at a comedy club in LA, using an extreme amount of badly chosen exploitives, but to go off and bring in famed Ambulance chaser Gloria Allred??? These are two awfully desperate guys, and pretty damn broke too if you ask me.

Why is it that I spent a lifetime hiding the fact that I was Jewish in order to not be called a Kyke, of which I was called numerous times, but these men can be called "niggers" repetitively by a white man, when I'm sure they've been called worse by others, and now they feel they're entitled to finacial compensation as well as a face-to-face apology? Should I have sued every person that called me a kyke? Should every Black or Polish or Russian or Italian or Irish or German person sue for being called a nigger or a dumb pollack or a commie or a Wop Dago or a filthy Mick or a Nazi??? Come on people...bad words are just that, but to claim that they were defamed and demoralized is something altogether fucking stupid.

Was Michael Richards right doing what he did? No. Did he just bring back racism to the forefront of our society? Absolutely, but if anyone thought that racism had disappeared because they hadn't been called a bad name in a long time, man were they wrong! We have always been a racist society; biased, bigoted, mean and nasty. This is something that will NEVER change, but is the end to the means really a financial settlement? Give me a break.

The next time I get called a tight-assed Jew, I'm running for the nearest office of Larry H. Parker and filing a lawsuit, plain and simple. Fuck Gloria Allred, she's a chump who would probably only get me on CNN where I could cry about it. I'd rather have the money.
