Train Wrecks
Kramer Rant Boosts DVD Sales

SeinfeldIt seems that there really is no such thing as bad press -- even press generated by racist tirades.

Sales of season seven of "Seinfeld" are up 75% over season six and 90% over season five -- after one week of sales, according to website DVD Empire. Meanwhile, DeepDiscountDVD.com reports a staggering 178% increase over season six. Sales are up despite Jesse Jackson calling for a boycott.

Seasons five and six were released on the same day last year. TMZ's video of Michael Richards' hideous harangue was first seen on November 20 -- one day before season seven was released. Richards went on "The Late Show with David Letterman" that same night to apologize.

To paraphrase Seinfeld ... is there anything wrong with that?

So true. What is hard to grasp the fact that black people are not discriminted based on the color of their skin.

It is because of their horrible attitudes. They are uneducated, loud, obnoxious, don't tip in restaurants and in general are very very stupid acting.

I've lived in Philadelaphia, New York City and Currently Los Angeles. I know of which I speak.
American Black people are defiinitly dumber and more dangerous than any other culture in the history of the human race.

32. What about the sick niggers that he lashed out at because of all of their rude comments to him. I never heard them make an apology. They can say whatever they want to him but he can't say anything back, what the hell?????

33. Of course I'll buy the DVD. Why the hell not? Because ONE man who is a part of the show did something questionable/wrong why should EVERYONE suffer?

This is the same stupid mentality that because white men of 300 years ago brought slaves from black people( yes that’s right the black people sold their own to Spanish and Portuguese traders) are white men are responsible today? F**K THAT!

One is only responsible for their actions--no one else is. The same way I am NOT responsible for what happened 300 freaking years ago!!

F**K reparations and those looking for more handouts, stay on your welfare and crack, do nothing for society and then bitch about the fact you’d rather drive a car with 5,000 dollars spinners than feed your 7 children from 7 different women.

Bill Cosby hit the nail on the head and most just don’t get it!

34. Selah, lie to yourself all you like.

But until Black "Civil Rights Leaders" (LMAO) stop perpetuating racism. And constantly playing the race card, people of ANY color will ALWAYS see right through. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are BOTH KNOWN RACISTS.


Oh wait it's okay for black men to refer to NYC as "Hymietown"...right that's not racism?????? Could you imagine what would happen if a white leadership type called ANY town "N" word Town? Even your double standard is racist!

39. 36 - Obviously no one would say what they think to a black person, hello, they'd get shot. Isn't that the point. Now you all know how we feel, but we don't want to be killed in the process

40. Every singe one of you talking sh*t about black people are complete COWARDS...simply!!!
How can you talk about someone whom you DO NOT KNOW??!! Very matute.

41. Some White people are so pathetic.....LMAO!!!!! You freaks use anything as a excuse to attack Black people.....I wonder why? Could it be that you are THAT intimidated because we don't hate you and you can't understand why? It must be awful living such a sad, miserable, paranoid, existence.

Black people don't seem to be half as upset about all of this as you dorks are. Most Black folks never watched Seinfeld you idiots.

Michael Richards who?????

42. #22 AND #23:

OF COURSE YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THE INTELLIGENCE TO REALIZE THE EXPLOITATION OF THE MEDIA TOOL WHICH ALWAYS SHOWS THE "GANG BANGER" ON THE NEWS BUT WE NEVER SEE THE WHITE CHILD MOLESTER AND RAPIST OR THE WHITE METH USER WHO STABBED OR ROBBED SOMEONE. DO THE RESEARCH YOURSELVES, THE DESCRIPTION OF THE BLACK SUSPECT IS GIVEN AND DISPLAYED ACROSS YOUR TV SET AT A FAR DISPORTIONATE RATE OVER A WHITE SUSPECT OR CRIMINAL WHICH BREEDS FURTHER STEREOTYPES TO GULLIBLE IGNORANT PEOPLE AS YOURSELVES. AT LARGE THE "BLACK CRIMINAL" WILL BE SHOWN ACROSS YOUR TV SET ...DO THEY COMMIT CRIMES YES BUT SO DO WHITES, SO DO MEXICANS SO DO EVERY OTHER RACE IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT THE BLACK FACE WILL ALWAYS BE SHOWN (UNLESS IT'S A WHITE SERIAL KILLER) . IN TERMS OF THE "AFRICAN AMERICAN" ATTITUDE...I WONDER WHY??? MAYBE IT'S A REACTION OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND YOUR ATTITUDE. ALSO HERE'S A FURTHER CLUE TO YOUR IGNORNCE: CRIME ISN'T A RACE ISSUE, IT'S AN ECONOMIC ISSUE - NO MATTER IF IT'S IN A POOR WHITE COMMUNITY OR A POOR BLACK COMMUNITY YOU WILL SEE CRIME...BUT OF COURSE THE "BLACK " EVENTS WILL SURFACE ON YOUR LOCAL NEWS... NOT SURE IF YOU'RE LITERATE OR NOT BUT A LITTLE BETTER GAUGE OF WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON WOULD BE TO READ YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER

43. 39 - I don't own a gun, live in the Burbs and have nice $$$...Thank you...So my point was that you are all COWARDS for talking mess on the internet instead of to the people/person that you have a problem with.....It all boils down to COWARDNESS........ make a difference...Don't keep fanning the flames.

I'm sure your not an adult....anyway.......It's guess it's too cold for you to go out and play today!

44. JESS... I'm we assume that ALL WHiTE people are child molesters...F**kin pervs!!!! Since all white are.....hahahaha

45. Why are my comments DUMB, MS BLACK? Because I lumped many black people into one category, those who like to screw around and not pay child support? Those who would rather buy 5,000 dollar spinners, then get welfare handouts?

Sucks doesn’t it? To be lumped together into one category as Jesse Jackson does by asking people to boycott this DVD; in essence he has said the entire cast of Seinfeld is responsible for Richards’s actions? THIS is not the case.

The same way you most likely do not have 5,000 dollar spinners and are not on welfare. BUT it sucks to be categorized in that manner doesn’t it? From a white man who is NOT responsible for something that happened 500 years ago.

Thanks for making my point, MS Black!
