There are rude/insensitive potentially racist people in the world, on all sides. I fail to see why this is such a huge story. I guess it does combine two of America's favorite things, a racial dispute and watching somebody's life crumble.

Oh geesh, LOL. Some white folks are really reaching with these dumb excuses and analogies--dumb like Richards' reaching to make some Hurricane Katrina connection. The majority of violence is and always has been intraracial. So contact the white people who beat up and kill white people and report back to GC with your findings.
No one gives a damn about Richards' career really. He's a nobody to a large percentage of Americans. This story is all over the news because he's a semi-celebrity attached to a popular show with a popular name. Most importantly, this is one of many constant reminders that race is still salient in this country in some form or another. Some of us don't need such reminders but more often than not many white people do.
The funny part is this:
Some white people are more up in arms over Richards than racial minorities are--defending his honor like he's Gandhi caught on a bad day. You'd think that
some white people feel as though he's getting crucified for saying what all white people feel, or something. Keep fighting the good fight,
some white people, fight the fight that matters.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
