Don't help me, Kramer

Yeah, we've all heard about Kramer's Racist Rant. What irritates me the most about this, is his stupid, "I'm not a racist. That's what's so insane about this." apology.

What he's saying is that he's not a racist; he was just mad. What bugs me about that, is that it reinforces the message to black people that all white people secretly feel this way, we just don't say it.
In addition to repeatedly calling them niggers, he made scathing references to lynching and white supremacy:

"Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass."

"You interrupted me. That's what you get for interrupting a white man."

And people wonder why minorities don't trust whitey; why they think white people all secretly want to turn the world back to before the civil-rights era.

No, Kramer, you are a racist. Sadly, you are also a very negative, and dead wrong, representative of your race.
