  So you excuse Seinfeld here, but still hold Richards 100% accountable?

    Also a hell no. In fact what are you talking about? What did I say that you feel implied that?

      Is it [Seinfeld’s comments] even close to publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no.

        It looks to me like what they’re referring to is Michael Richards tirade being uncomparable to Jerry’s comments that were supporting the genocide. That’s how I read it, anyway.

        But I mean he was talking about lynching the guy, so even as far as racism goes, that’s pretty fucking up there.

        Okay, I suppose I was too vague.

        Is it [Richard’s comments] even close to [ being as bad as] publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no.

        I’m saying Richards may be a better person than Seinfeld, but I wouldn’t excuse his words or actions because they’re not something a non-racist would ever even think to do or say.

        Hope that is clear now.

    Nah, they are saying Seinfeld is excusing a genocide.
