Rev Jesse Jackson calls for Seinfeld boycott after racist rant
Civil rights campaigner Rev Jesse Jackson has called for a boycott of the latest Seinfeld DVD box set in the wake of Michael Richard‘s racist rant at a comedy club on 17 November.
Richards, 57, won three Emmy Awards for playing Cosmo Kramer in the hit series, which ran from 1990 until 1998.
The seventh season of the hit series was released as a four-disc set in the US last week - just after Richards hit the headlines for racially abusing two African-American hecklers at Los Angeles club The Laugh Factory.

Good idea Jesse, hit him finacially. That'll cure his racism.
Jesse Jackson loves this shit. He's a media whore who assumes he's the voice of every single black american whenever he gets the chance.
He carried on in that interview like Michael Richards was some powerful, genuinely evil threat to all black people. Rubbish. The whole thing has just exposed Michael Richards as a thick, really bad stand up comedian with anger issues. Move on.
Is this Michael Richards bullshit still getting more coverage now than that police shooting?
