Let's see, so we have

Free Palestine, a group that wants to stop the genocide and promote the freedom of Palestinians being murdered through no result of their own actions beyond simply existing.

The KKK, a group who expressly want to genocide and oppress the freedom of anyone non-white for just simply existing.

Jerry, you're telling on yourself here a bit

    I mean, he spent decades trying to rehabilitate his pal Kramer after he melted down and shouted the n-word at members of his audience.

    Now he’s saying he’s okay with genocide as long as the victims are brown or the wrong religion and they have real estate he’d like.

    Seems like he’s consistent.

    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 they both suck. Thanks for making my point for me.

    Ya, in the way that both my neighbor and Stalin sucked.

    That you, Jerry? Give it up. Kramer was never funny.

    I’m not saying Richards was funny, I’m saying there is a difference on the baddie scale between someone who vocally and current supports genocide and someone who said something racist once twenty years ago.

    Nuance, man. Some people just can't compare qualitatively and can't understand nuance.

    Like the stein voters who couldn't do harm reduction and just threw their votes in the chipper.

    The KKK claims the Jews are doing a white genocide. Are you a genocide denier if you don't believe the claims of the KKK?
