Having suffered a double whammy of unambiguous racist attacks almost a year - one by a "progressive" journalist - it was only this weekend that I finally decided to commit the experience to "paper". Though I still love Kramer, I can't say the same for the closeted racist that played him. "This brings to mind the case of Michael Richards, who played Cosmo Kramer in the US sitcom *Seinfeld*, one of my most favourite TV shows. Although I was partial to Elaine “He took it out” Benes, not to mention George “It shrunk” Costanza (played, respectively, by Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander), I also loved the mad-cap way Richards portrayed the Kramer character. Alright, then, I loved Richards. And then he let rip with a tirade of racist abuse after he was heckled on stage by an audience that included black people. Not unlike Mr Reporter, you only had to scratch the surface for the hidden racist to jump out at you." https://www.ebeefs.com/beefs/2019/3/9/of-racist-workers-journalists-and-beggars JLSamboma _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
