Michael Richards "Shattered"

Whaaah! My career is in a tailspin because I made some racist comments! Poor me! Suck it up Michael, you were caught on camera and that's why you're going into damage control. But I wonder why he went on Jesse Jackson's show to do it? Jesse Jackson is a racist himself. He gladly showed up to Stanley "Tookie" Williams' execution and funeral, arguing that Stanley was no longer a threat to society, but he ignored the next man to be executed, Clarence Ray Allen who was 76 years old, practically deaf, blind, and using a wheelchair. If anyone would be considered no longer a threat, I would pick Clarence over Stanley. But why wasn't Jesse Jackson at Clarence's execution and funeral? Because Clarence was white and there was no publicity in it for Jesse.

If Michael Richards truly wants to reconcile, he should pick a better person then Jesse Jackson to get his message out. Making amends with the people he directly offended is a good start. But he can't really whine about it and make excuses and expect everyone to buy into his bullshit.
