Some black people at the press conference held today alledged the media's use of the n word is because of the Jews in charge of the companies (no joke). The victim mentality is on parade.
Michael Richards is a patsy for some activist groups' anger. Why did this happen on a Friday but wait until the Monday news cycle?
I'll take a crack at the chronology, which is just an educated guess.
Richards makes his remarks late Friday night. They are captured by an audience member with a camcorder. The camera operator most likely sets the camera aside and goes to bed.
On Saturday, probably not early, the shooter posts the video to YouTube, and alerts a few friends, some of whom alert some of the bigger blogs. The whole viral thing starts to work.
Sunday morning, the word has spread to enough blogs that the MSM starts to take notice, and then starts to check the story. Fewer people work on the weekends because fewer people watch on the weekends, so resources are scarce. By the time they can verify the authenticity of the source, and find someone to go on the record, it's Monday.
Tough schtuff! If activists go after Richards, that's his fault. You don't get hit by a train unless you're on the tracks.

Two words: Viral video.
