"Kramer"(Michael Richards) is being chastised for being an idiot, yet this moron is the reason that "Kramer" is an idiot! All we need in this world...more hatred!

[Judi Lynn]

1. What are you expecting to receive for this link?

You opine "all we need in this world... more hatred" while dragging out a strange little video you use to try to stir up resentment and whatever else you can manage.

Why not raise your sights, and start looking for more productive, more positive ways to communicate?

DU'ers could ALL drag odd bits here to try to generate hatred and hostility, but most DU'ers are more concerned about the common good, and the common progress forward, out of the pure hell the right-wing has inflicted upon the entire world.

THAT'S certainly more worth your effort. Your video would probably be a hit elsewhere.

[Bzzzz]

3. I thought this was an interesting link...

Hatred is a part of this world and it would do you good to raise your sights and realize that, sweetheart. As far as what I expected to receive for this link??? Got your attention...

[Toots]

9. How condescending of you "sweetheart"

Do you always preface your descriptions of people by stating their color? It is easy to see hatred is definitely a part of your world...

[Bzzzz]

12. Well, Toots..

I see high IQ's don't run in your family...I just put what was on YouTube, or don't you comprehend?

[blogslut]

16. Pretty hostile responses for

a person with a peace sign for an avatar.

[Bzzzz]

19. When I'm attacked...

I stand my ground...anything wrong with that???

[blogslut]

22. A cogent response on a message board

is an attack?

[Bzzzz]

27. Yes, I took it as a personal attack.

You have a problem with that?

[blogslut]

29. LOL

Okay. You keep "standing your ground" on these vicious vicious attacks. I hope you're not allergic to antacid. I see a lot of it in your future.

11. That's a five star post.

2. This source sheds a little bit of light on the subject:

Was Kamau Kambon news?

In recent weeks, news outlets and the blogosphere have been abuzz over anti-white comments made by Dr. Kamau Kambon, a Raliegh, North Carolina bookstore owner and former adjunct instructor at North Carolina State University, at a forum held at Howard University October 14. The forum, on media coverage of Hurricane Katrina, was one of the prequel events to the Millions More March.

Some of the commentary blasted C-SPAN for carrying "hate speech." Others saw the lack of major media attention to the incident as evidence of liberal press hypocrisy, arguing that the obscure activist's comments deserved as much attention as recent controversial statements by talk-show host and former Education Secretary Bill Bennett. After researching this incident, it seems to me that one could get some decent stories out of it, but they are probably not the stories that conservative critics are looking for.
(snip)

What the blog entry doesn't note is that Kambon's remarks were immediately challenged by other members of the panel, including its organizer, filmmaker Opio Sokoni. Sokoni later told a writer for the Raliegh News Observer:

"The people at that conference do not support the extermination of white people. That is ridiculous. You can't back up a statement like that. It is immoral. Even the most radical people don't talk like that."

In an interview with WorldNetDaily, Sokoni said,"No one could have ever known that this former North Carolina State University professor would go off the cuff and make such immoral and unproductive remarks."

North Carolina State also issued a denunciation. Provost Larry Nielsen said,"This type of speech is counter to any
reasoned discussion on the issue of race relations, and is absolutely unacceptable in the NC State community." Students, faculty and staff interviewed for the NC State newspaper, the Technician said they were surprised and dismayed by the comments. None of the people interviewed for the story, included former a student of Kambon's, recalled having heard him express such views before.
(snip)

In short, it does not appear that Kambon has been active or credible scholar in recent years.

What's the news value?

Kamau's outburst probably didn't get the play that Bill Bennett's remarks got for several legitimate reasons:

Bennett is a much better known figure who has actually had a role in shaping policy, and who has a following.

Kambon's remarks were immediately and widely rejected.

7. Thank you Judi Lynn....

I hadn't even heard of Kamau Kambon until this thread. You can search YouTube or any number of sites and find all kinds of obscure bullshit. EVERYONE has heard about the Kramer thing.

4. Well no, this isn't the cause of racism

Anybody clicking on 2 cylinders would recognize that he's got a bit of a point. They would also recognize that the words of one person don't extrapolate to an entire group of people. One person's opinion shouldn't turn anybody into a racist, it should open the door to discussions of continuing racial discrimination and how to end it.

This hasn't got anything to do with Michael Richards. I expect he's just a very angry man for whatever personal reasons that have nothing to do with race, and the most visious words he had ever heard came out of his mouth in the middle of a raging tirade. I say 'came out of his mouth' because I doubt he was thinking at all.

Another point, the gentleman in the clip doesn't sound particularly hateful, he sounds like a tribal leader who sees his tribe under assault and suggests the tribe defend itself. I think he could probably make better use of his leadership skills though.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

24. Are you kidding me?

"He has a bit of a point?"



What the F*** are you on? He wants to kill all white people. Anything he says has
no point.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

26. "We Have to Exterminate White People Off Of The Face Of the Planet"

You said:

"Another point, the gentleman in the clip doesn't sound particularly hateful"


What the fuck is not hatefull about what he said.

"We Have to Exterminate White People Off Of The Face Of the Planet"


You are a disgrace to DU and if I get banned for saying it, I don't belong here.



I personally think you should be banned.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

28. I'm waiting for your apology.

Still waiting...


I will be VERY sad if my fellow DU'ers don't back me up on this. Do I have
5 people who will say they agree with me? Please?

[orpupilofnature57]

5. No one can deny a Back to Europe policy would have saved us. n/t

[jeff30997]

6. That idiot sounds familiar...

Exterminate the Jews,the only good indian is a dead indian,and so on...:puke:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

8. How can you say that this person is "the reason" that Richards said the things he did?

How the hell does that compute?

Does not each person bear responsponsibility for the things they say and do?

[Buzz Clik]

10. This thread is pure trolling bullshit.

Kicking the author of the opening post would be easy, but I'll pass. Judi Lynn summed it up perfectly.

Now, let's starve this attention starved person and ignore this crap.

[Bzzzz]

13. Evidently...

you agree with the professor and ignoring this crap will not make it go away. Just like there is white racism, there is black racism and it is all ugly.

[fishwax]

14. so Richards's outburst is justified because of this guy?

:shrug: Is that really what you're saying?

[ecstatic]

15. "this moron is the reason that "Kramer" is an idiot"

Help me understand this one... So you're saying that Kramer viewed the video and turned racist against blacks? Or that people like the professor are the reason for anti-black racism in this country?

[Bzzzz]

17. Since you don't understand...

what I'm trying to say is that Richard's was all over the news and he just said the "N" word several times. This guy is planning total genocide and was not even mentioned on the evening news. I person ally cannot stand racism of any type. I believe black racism should be held under the same microscope as white racism and matter of fact any racism should be viewed very closely.

[KingFlorez]

18. And your point is?

So basically what you are saying is Kramer was justified in what he said because of people like this Professor.

[Bzzzz]

21. NO...not at all...

Michael Richards was wrong. Just the same as this professor is wrong. Plain and simple.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

20. This video is disgusting.

Anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.

But I don't see how this relates to Michael Richards.

As far as I'm concerned, Michael Richards and this guy are birds of a feather. But this guy
is actually worse. But it doesn't defend the stance of Richards.

[Bzzzz]

23. You WON the PRIZE !!!

You GOT it!!! DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! It's all disgusting!!!

[trumad]

25. I never heard of this guy in my life....

but everybody knows Kramer and Mel Gibson....

[Bzzzz]

31. And nobody heard of...

Adolph Hitler before 1932 either. It only takes one nut saying the right things to drive the squirrels crazy.

[trumad]

32. LOL

You equating this kook to the rather brilliant Hitler?

[originalpckelly]

33. "rather brilliant Hitler"??????????

:eyes:

[mark414]

30. he's being extreme but he makes a good point

what else can be done? everything else has been tried and still white people refuse and resist any real semblance of equality...

methinks he wasn't being completely serious, and methinks that this is flamebait

[originalpckelly]

34. Methinks people shouldn't joke about genocide...

Whether African Americans or Caucasian Americans.
