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.
