I have to laugh at the question mark behind racist. Are you asking if he is racist? Well he told the black dude that 50 years ago, he would have happily hung upside down with a fork in their ass and called then countless number of the n-word. I would say racist. I would alos say I'm disappointed but yet not surprised.

man, that's kind of f-ed up. Sounds like he was losing it on stage.

Yikes. I had to turn it off after the first few seconds. What a moron.

Has-been.

Has Been? The guy was in over 20 films and was making over 1,000,000$ an episode on Seinfeld.......the most succesful TV show in history. Obviously he is satisfied with taking it easy.

Pretty bad.....bud it wasn't any better for the guys to call him a "cracker ass mother fucking white boy."

What they said.

I think he made a poor choice in using racial slurs like that, but unless he makes it a habit of doing that...I wouldn't necessarily call him a racist.

WOW.Talk about out of control...I can't even find words to describe it. I'm still steaming. Clearly he has some deep-seated issues.

I question his mental health after seeing the clip... but then again, it seems sometimes that one of the qualifications for being a comedian is mental instability!

Yeah I think its pretty rough, total lack of control. But I agree, I think that simply because somebody uses racial slurs doesn't mean they have a racist personality. I'm pretty sure we've all been in a situation where we went for the jugular, and for the non-creative, maybe the N word is the best they could do.

No matter how drunk I was or if I was super pissed at someone I still wouldn't reference lynching or use the n-word. I think the fact that he found the choice of language to be even in the ballpark of what's acceptable makes him DEFINITELY racist....and a jackass. This is BEYOND a poor choice. It's not like he didn't know he was in front of hundreds of people.

Jerry Seinfeld's sick about it and George Lopez blames his lack of stand-up comedy experience

But anyway...

He apologizes for his remarks

wow....

Dropping the n-bomb doesn't make you a racist. What makes you a racist is believing that another race is inferior to you. I don't know if Richards, in his heart of hearts, believes this. I do know that he used the wrong words to flip out at his audience...
Take this as you will, I'm white so I have limited perspective on this incident.
