Racist and  extremely uncalled for.

But the hecklers were also at fault as welll. Even if the prfomance does suck hard, doesn't give you the right to heckle them, if you don't  like the perfomance just leave .


And just beacause someone Doen't like your crapp humor doesn't mean you have the right to belittle someone racially. No one deserves to be racially insulted.
And when  you do   make racist , hateful comments , youre not insulting one person . You're insulting an intire race.

Yeah that was pretty mean, a month ago.

But despite that I think it merits a discussion, I'll send it to the general Discussion board for you.

SOmetimes you don't know what happens exactly... but there is so much racial tension, that you've gotta wonder about how we function as people.

There's something odd I heard in the news some time ago. giving the notion that it's appropriate to call black people that if you are black, but it's inappropriate if you are some other race... it's confusing and sometimes you don't know where anyone is in a society...

Sometimes people make a slip of the tongue and aren't conciously aware of it. I know that I've sworn under my breath, and people will ask me what I said, and I won't realize that I swore until that point...

What Richards did was uncalled for, yes. But i watched an interview that he had with someone, and i believe he is truly sincere when he says he is sorry. Maybe he was just drunk or under alot of pressure at the time. but as long as he never does it again, ill forgive him.

Oddly enough , he seems very sincere. :o
Hopefully he won't  do  something that dumbassed again.

He was probably drunk or just plain dumb.


But the hecklers were also complete dumb asses as welll.
Even if the humor sucks doesn't give you the right  to heckle someone. If  you don't like someones humor , then leave , cuz noone wants to hear you whine and ruin it  for those  people  who DO like it.
