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?

61. "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!"


Come on now....are we REALLY supposed to believe that that's what your sick little opinions are based on, and not some long-standing, pent-up frustration and misunderstanding you've harbored your entire life against Black people??

Please. Stop lying to YOURSELF.

65. "50. White people are ALWAYS looking for an excuse to attack Black people.....ALWAYS!!

You people are sad and pitiful."

Sad and pitiful is lumping everyone into one category as you just did. Sad and pitiful is the FACT Jews went through atrocities and survived for the better. The Chinese went through horrible things in this country--yet survived.
The Japanese did so as well. American Indians had everything taken away AND were screwed yet they are not screaming every five seconds.

Mexican illegal aliens ARE FIGHTING For the right to WORK in this country yet many blacks fight for free handouts and welfare-- basically some fight to sit on their ass and blame "the man" for everything! A f***ing excuse for everything NEVER a fix. Hell instead of correcting simple syntax like saying %u201Caxe%u201D for ASK we make a new language called Ebonics!

66. Thats because you know you'll get money out of Richards, that makes you happy. You're biggest worry is deciding who you will take to bed

69. Julia- your response has confirmed just what I suspected: You are too unintelligent to understand what I stated. I did not make the point of crime being an economic issue to place blame on the rich in society...where did that come from??? I only made the point because in your earlier post you said you were sick of the African American attitude of crime and violence - you labeled crime with a race, which if you were educated you would realize it is more of an socioeconomic factor than race...that's all. So your point or lack thereof in misconstruing the issue is to no avail...by the way -I doubt very seriously if you read your local paper...something in your posts tell me you don't. I will agree with you on one issue: Every criminal regardless of race should take responsiblity for their actions rather it be the thousands of white child molesters in our neighborhoods across the nation or the black street thug. Crime is crime...

???? aren't you a sad piece of work. What? Is your black ass jealous of them as a culture? Or are they somehow responsible for the mess you find youself in today? Along with the white man?

Can't you figure out who to blame? And you all say you are NOT racist, you hate everyone who is not black. Sad, sad little person.

At least I will work to pay my heating bill instead of sitting on my ass waiting for welfare to pay it. :)

74. #74 I agree with you. and wouldn't you know, in the news just this week another n*gger family crying to their church that they were displaced from hurricaine Katrina were GIVEN a brand new house for free!
As soon as they got their hands on the deed, they sold it for a profit and kept the money! What graditude. They don't appreciate a damn thing we give them... they want more... and more... and more... and more! it will never be enough.

75. Selah, first of all as I have stated here before I'm not white. I'm an American Indian 100% born and raised on a reservation.Actually more than one res, but that is not the point.

So there goes your little theory.

But how is it that ONE STUPID Caucasian man says some stupid stuff. And now he speaks for ALL of Caucasian America.


Same/Same

Except MICHAEL RICHARDS IS NOT A "SUPPOSED" "FREEDOM FIGHTER" making RACIST COMMENTS he's just a caucasian man, a nobody at that. You cannot tell me that Jesse Hijackson does NOT LOOK for ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM TO GET ON TV, and do what he does best. PLAY THE RACE CARD.


I wonder if my people hadn't been exterminated, would we be pissing and moaning about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING 24/7 365. Having our so called "Freedom Fighters" play the "EVERYONE IS AGAINST US RED PEOPLE" card everytime you turn on your tv. I have to doubt it because one thing my people NEVER HAVE LOST IS OUR =HONOR= !!!
