So while you may not be doing it, plenty of other people in the black community are doing it.
So basically, I really don't care what Richards did. He doesn't really represent anyone or influence anyone, hopefully. While this would normally mean I'd drop it, I unfortunately don't have the ability to do that when I look at threads and see people saying things like "this just shows how much racism still exists..." Thats right, it does, but it seems we're only interested in talking/complaining about it (on this site at least) when its white on black.

I really don't have a dog in this fight, but in regards to ^^^I reall feel like you are one post away from saying, "your people, or you all". I feel like Richards career is washed up. Hell, it was washed up before this. He is just some type-cast actor who tried to make some money on the side. If as a comedian, you cannot handle hecklers, then you are indeed not a comedian. Just like if I could not take an occasional heckle from a student, I would be a bad educator. That does not give me the right to personal degrade anyone regardless of what I think of them in my head. I believe the man is a racist...don't even apologize in my opinion because you are not sorry for the thought, but for the repercussion of the thought.
