Says guy who never had to deal with the KKK.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 93 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This really calls attention to his overdeveloped sense of victimhood.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 36 points 1 week ago

He needs another reason to whinge about being canceled.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 week ago

Well, the KKK has never burned a cross on his lawn but the Free Palestine movement made him feel bad.

“By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think,” said Seinfeld, who publicly embraces his Jewish heritage and has pushed back against critics of Israel.

“Just say you don’t like Jews,” he said in reference to the movement, before comparing its supporters to members of the KKK.

In that spirit, Jerry, maybe you should say what YOU really think. You’re a genocide apologist. Embrace it, instead of putting words in other peoples mouths.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago

Nah, just have him say what he thinks about Palestinians and muslims. The rest follows.

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

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 31 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 week ago (6 children)

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.

Jerry Seinfeld has always been a pompous piece of shit. Fuck him and his unfunny horsefaced “comedy”.

Oh, and he fucked a teenager at the height of his show. Release the files.

[–] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is the truth. Once he got money, he turned into the asshole he was always wanted to be and oh, what an asshole he's blossomed into.

Now he's added piece of shit who likes genocide AND is entirely brain damaged about what the KKK does and has done.

Pretty solid work to show that you're a piece of shit, like murder and have zero clue about the KKK all in one go.

If this country is going up in flames, can we put the boomers on the front line? They love to talk a big game, let them live up to their own hype.

No one watches Seinfeld for Seinfeld.

Same effect with King of Queens.

[–] phoenixarise@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I only watched that show for Jason Alexander. Although Duckman was his much better work.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Larry David is the genius behind the show.

Good thing I don’t take advice from pedos who "date" 17-year-olds when they’re 39 😃

What's the deal with Israel, pedos and billionaires?

To be fair that is an absurdly funny statement, it's just a shame that he wasn't joking...

Does he have any respect left?

Honestly...like...who still thinks Jerry Seinfeld is a good person? Jerry Springer is a better person.

Who'd think that George would be the most respectable of the group 30 years later.

“The KKK is a little better than Free Palestine. The crisp white robes? The anonymity? They’re basically racist laundry!”

funky slap bass

Of course Jerry of course. Israel is still a terrorist state. Bye.

Jerry had more worthwhile things to say back when he had a show about nothing.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 27 points 1 week ago (3 children)

In retrospect, Seinfeld was a very dark show. Somewhere on YouTube there is an insightful little video essay about how the first few seasons of the show are basically the story of how Elaine, a perfectly decent person, gets drawn into their little circle and over time adopts their awful selfishness and sociopathic behavior to try to fit in. How most of the problems of the show are caused by their selfishness and dishonesty, and often involve significant harm coming to someone else, and they don't care.

I can't even remember which comedian it is, but someone had a bit about how the darkest joke he ever heard was a Seinfeld bit about being at the movie theater and just throwing his drink on the ground at the end for someone else to clean up. Like it's a small thing, but the guy talking about it was genuinely alarmed by the depth of how far he genuinely just doesn't give a fuck and doesn't mind if you know it.

He's a comedian. Is this a joke? How can someone honestly think this?

You might be too old for him.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He's a rich NYC Jew, running with rich NYC Jews. Who expected him to say anything else?!

“Because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ OK, that’s honest.'”

I dunno. I like my racists honest, not hiding behind dog whistles.

He's got enough money to retire in luxury forever. Why is he still trying to be relevant? Fucking egomaniacs will be the end of us all.
