Thanks for the link. Unforunately Richards doesn't seem to give a cogent defense in his brief off-camera statement.
In the actual video we of course see nothing that of what happened preceding the incident but I seriously doubt, unfortunately, that it justified the disgusting language.
I should also note that Mr. Pitts was not questioned about his use of the term "cracker" by the CNN reporter. The absence of that question again shows the hypocrisy on a racial level and the bias on a media level.

The "cracker" line was lodged after the "nigger" tirade. The only word that the black guy could come back with.
Yeah, bias in media. Would you have preferred: "Mr. Black Guy...you were a called a nigger about a dozen times and also subjected to a lyching "joke," why in the world would you be so insensitive in return and lodge the "cracker" comeback? Don't you know that you are just supposed to sit there and enjoy taking your 'racial beating.'"
