He apparently did not learn from the Puerto Rican Day parade episode.

They didn't get that part on tape, now did they? Interesting.

I'm a slow typer. The accompanying story does a general breakdown. What isn't noted is it is a black guy that is rightfully upset but then cedes the moral high ground by calling Richards a "cracker" and "whgite boy." Ironically this was one of the few instances where I would agree in a black guy calling a white guy a cracker. Obviously the n-word is worse in a historical context while "cracker" is indeed a racist word (and I hate both) but in this exchange I see the "cracker" label being justifiably used to counter. Wow. And what a bummer.

Have you seen your typical black comedian's comedy routine?

Hundreds of n-bombs and racism towards blacks. Guess it is okay if they do it. Or using the n-word might not be as bad as they would like you to think.

He verbally attacked two hecklers using the "N" word. The hecklers happened to be Black. Apparently, somewhat forgot to tell Michael Richards that only Chris Rock, Richard Prior, and Robert Byrd are allowed to use the "N" word in a comedy routine.
