Jesse Jackson urges boycott of Seinfeld DVDs

Rev. Jesse Jackson is urging the public to boycott the seventh season DVD of "Seinfeld," which features uber-racist Michael Richards as Jerry Seinfeld's next door neighbor. Following Richards anti-black rant at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, the DVD experienced a spike in sales. I don't really understand this boycott considering Jesse Jackson's primary audience is black people. Last time I checked, black people never watched Seinfeld (might have something to do with the fact that, during the entire series run, I don't think a black person ever had a speaking role). This is equivalent to Pat Robertson urging white guys to boycott Moesha.

That's black logic for you....it never makes sense.

Wait a minute! I thought Michael Richards went on Jesse's radio show and apologized! Did he not apologize correctly? Or is Jesse upset that this recent DVD collection of Seinfeld episodes is outselling previous seasons, perhaps as a result of the Kramer controversy?

Can't say I disagree with dis. Seinfeld should donate all the proceeds to da NAACP after giving the real nigger biatch da shaft instead of tickling his balls like he did on Letterman.

@The Superficial

Personally, I will start taking this matter more seriously when they stop saying it to each other. What is that all about? I mean you dont't see white people calling each other cracker and honkey. Give me a break!

Dis is as serious as it gits and that is what he is.

"ripping off everything they do"

Ummm, I write funny stories about celebrities. Didn't know thesuperficial had that market cornered.

This is like rubbing salt and alcohol into wounds, far from being civilized or in any way promoting progress or advancement. What does it do, beyond dramatization? It tells people to be bitter, remain bitter, act the victim and downtrodden, and to hate back... and I thought their whole desire was to 'free the country' of hate? Sha right- apparently not, with uber-reactive behaviors like this.

...I mean look.. he's got some kind of a boohoo look on his face-- grow up, have a backbone! It's embarassing the way they cry like babies about things...

@shannon - good point

wow!! its funny how racism comes out when u think no black people are around.
I love seinfeld, my mom loves seinfeld, almost everyone i knew loved seinfeld. Im not saying im suprised its just nice to have it out in the open, what people really feel about black people. Its sad when you think about it, when i saw the clip of him yelling thoses comments i immediatly thought of my mom, and how kramer was her favourite charater. I do think he sorry and i dont think this needs to be a black and white issue so stop making it that way.

How the fuck is it racism to say that no black people watch Seinfeld (I was obviously exaggerating when I said "no one" btw)?

This took me 2 seconds to find on Google:

Referring to the Nielsen ratings: "Seinfeld, one of the most popular white shows ever, was never in the top 50 for blacks."

As an ex-loyal poster since July06 on the Fish, (I've been clean of the Fishes clutches since Nov 22, 06) I can honestly say the fake Superficial above, sucks almost as much as the real Superficial!

The CelebSlam dude is 98% funnier than the Superfish dude! The only one funnier is the lady over at Yeeah!
