False. Here's a George Carlin routine from 1990 (contains extremely harsh language). That's from a show that's still sold as a CD on Amazon and still re-airs on HBO from time to time. His career wasn't ruined, and he wasn't branded a racist.
Richards isn't in trouble for merely using the n-word, any more than Mel Gibson got in trouble for merely calling someone a Jew. They both got in trouble for going off on a hate-filled racist tirade.

BS. There is still a double standard in this country when it comes to race and blacks get away with it day in and day out. Then how do then explain the vile racist "Ice Cube" getting away with all of his hate filled rap songs wanting to kill white people? What if one of your relatives was one of his victims? How would you fill then?
