Frankly, I don't think Richards is a racist or anything else. He might have a real temper, though, or maybe just a tin ear for improv.

I watched the video of this for the first time today. I had heard it was so unfocused your could barely tell it was him but what I saw was clear. At first his rant seems harsh, then just for a moment I thought he was being Chris Rockesque. But as it goes on it gets more and more questionable. I can't figure it out really.

This is where I saw it:

I was thinking that he's come to standup late in life and that he didn't figure out how to handle hecklers.

"Frankly, I don't think Richards is a racist or anything else. He might have a real temper, though, or maybe just a tin ear for improv."

Yep. I've known people like him. If someone pisses him off, he goes straight for the jugular with the most "hurtful" remarks he can make.

Still the fact that some black people getting called a name is still news a week later is telling about toaday's society. Whites are expected to be near perfect and blacks, well, what was that line about the soft bigotry of low expectations? Nobody expects anything.

If he had been insulting jews, like Flava Flav did, he could just get a show on VH1. Gotta pick your victims better, Richard. Now you're only qualified to be a senator from West Virginia.
