Is it even close to publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no. Is it something a non-racist person would ever even think to say? Also hell no.

blitzen@lemmy.ca 3 hours agoI’ve posted this elsewhere, I don’t think Richards is a piece of shit like Seinfeld.
The Michael Richards incident was a literal one time event, albeit a terrible one. There were zero instances before and zero instances after that suggest Richards is racist. Everything since then Michaels has done suggests he’s exceedingly remorseful over it.
I am not excusing it in the least, but I don’t think it’s even close to fair to compare him to someone currently supporting the genocide in Palestine.

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

Nah, they are saying Seinfeld is excusing a genocide.

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.

Richards just did a bad thing once trying to shut down a heckler and it backfired hard. People just don’t want to ever forgive.
