50 years ago, Kramer would be hanging upside down with a fork in his ass for this.

As I posted on nu-ILX the guys he ranted at have got a publicist and are talking about compensation decided by a retired (?) judge. Has this happened before?

Anyone watched Seinfeld since this happened?

yes, briefly

I'm too exhausted to scroll back up through the picstorm, but did nobody else read the link hstencil posted to the story about the Baltimore frat that had the "ghetto"-themed Halloween party?

"They said a skeleton hanging from a noose was a reference to Pirates of the Carribean and not an allusion to lynching."

not that I think this is most interesting because of Michael Richards (who gives a fuck about michael richards?) rather than potentially everyman, but apparently he called Jesse and Al but not the dudes at the club

having heard the thing again, now I wonder if either part of my first take wasn't exactly backwards, so I'm not sure I believe anything about my case anymore, even if some of the other evidence suggests the dude is all-around borderline

(btw, can anyone think of another well-known dude known for yelling "Shut up!" like a crazy person?)

this is interesting

Does anyone ever admit to being a rascist?

Our very own far right BNP are very much in the 'We're not rascists but...' camp.

Are the Aryan Nation, KKK, radio talk show loons, etc, the same or are they happy to say 'Yep, we're rascist as hell!'

― Bidfurd (Bidfurd), Thursday, 23 November 2006 20:35 (nineteen years ago)

Patrice O'Neal was great on Hannity and Colmes about this. Someone post it.

i think it's usually couched as "if racism means being proud of the white race then go ahead and call me racist.." even by wingnuts now

uh, yes.

"LOL@ Brits not understanding the usa at all"

Which is why I asked.
And I just got two different opinions from 2 different americans.

i hear it's a two opinion system over there

Whether Washington was receiving outpatient counseling or had entered a facility was not specified, and the statement did not indicate whether he would miss work on the show.

they have facilities for this sort of thing?

Good thread-collapsing idea.

Also OMG hahaha --

I think what makes a difference, a crucial difference is: What was my intent?”

Umm ...

― nabisco, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 04:38 (nineteen years ago)

"what i'd really like to talk about is how this affects ME"

Sharpton always brings the roflz

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

Two weeks?

― nabisco, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

sharpton was pretty sharp there i thought.

― s1ocki, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

Unless his intent was to offend black people, women, women's sports, and rutger's university all in a few economical syllables, his intentions failed.

― kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah two weeks. Shows you where the real clout is. Why kill the golden goose? It's just shameless. What does he have to do? Actually physically hurt one of those girls?

Sharpton's always the sharp, the guy is a true leader these days.

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:41 (nineteen years ago)

i don't have too much of an opinion on this in particular but i'm glad he's finally getting called out for being an asshole and what took so long and why have so many pols cowered to the dude?

the guy is a true leader these days

of whom/what?

― gabbneb, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:41 (nineteen years ago)

Imus has always been an asshole. Career-destruction couldn't happen to a more deserving guy.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

Sharpton's "so you repent once every 10 years?" = OH SNAPS

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha Tracer this is an xpost!

Seriously, what would Imus have to add to his long history of denigrating black women to actually encounter any consequences? It's like he'd actually have to shoot Gwen Ifill before anyone did more than express disappointment.

― nabisco, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

cynical interpretation: sharpton's ensuring hillary doesn't have to go on the show

― gabbneb, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

[em]of whom/what?[/em]

his constituents?

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

NBC will have to get that mouthbreather Chris Matthews on some other morning cavefest now.

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

gabbneb why are you playing dumb about the fact that al sharpton has constituents and is a broker for them? and when i said "true leader" i mean that the actions he urges people to take seem usually grounded in a morality that i identify with, and i think he expresses his vision convincingly

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

i'm not playing dumb, i'm being a pedant. a constituent is someone who elects/appoints someone as their agent/representative. even if you deem a non-officeholder to have constituents, i don't think there are too many people when talking about the country at large for whom al sharpton is their moral agent/representative, and for those for whom he is, it may in many cases be for only a limited rather than a general purpose, perhaps even specific to a single dispute. does he really stand out for you in the category of persons who urge others to take action from a moral base that you identify with?

― gabbneb, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:58 (nineteen years ago)

I really want to see the New York Times forbid Frank Rich and Maureen Dowd from going on Imus anymore, also would enjoy reading either columnist try to ~~weasal their way out of this mess~~ justify the I-man's pathetic shtick. longtime New Yorkers will remember Bob Grant and his comments about David Dinkins as washroom attendent.

on tv this am James Carville was honest enough to say that while he condemned Imus' remarks he thought Imus shouldn't be fired because his show "sells lots of books for his guests." 1 big media cluster fuck

― m coleman, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 16:59 (nineteen years ago)

first Sharpton, now Carville. what third would indicate a trend?

― gabbneb, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 17:00 (nineteen years ago)

oh, he wasn't really taking him down was he?

― gabbneb, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 17:01 (nineteen years ago)

xpost yes! i agree with sharpton more than i agree with anybody else who has ever run for president in my lifetime, for instance.
