This is an interseting thread. Being white I don't think I can understand or appreciate what racism is. When a white person starts dropping N bombs it is wrong, it carries years and years of despicable history with it. For Richards to use this as a comeback to hecklers is disgraceful, no matter what they may have said to him first. My two cents.

Exactly.

Whether it's ok for minorities to make racial slurs or not (and I don't think it is ok for that to happen either) is besides the point. What he was doing was opening up old wounds that have never healed. There was nothing comedic about it, rather a man who cracked under whatever pressures were going on in his life at the time and unleashed on some unsuspecting and undeserving audience members.

He claims he's not racist...I dunno, that wreaks of ingrained racism to me.
