The guy obviously has some problems. The two people speaking was probably the last straw in whatever he has been going through.

To stand up on stage and call these people niger completely unacceptable. All I can say is WOW.

That is completely bizarre. He lost complete control there. Unless the guy is a complete moron, he's got something that needs to be medicated.

Always sad to see someone self destruct and in the process destroy a career. Sometimes in the heat of the moment we get to see the real person that is inside.

His racial comments towards those guys will dog him for the rest of his life. He will probably apologise for the remarks saying it was out of character for him, yet, it will be a little too late as the damage has been done.

I hope he gets the help he so apparently needs.

Just a question.. but what has Richards done to make people give him the benefit of the doubt of having something "wrong" with him causing this tirade.

He just looked like some ******* who was ****ed off at some people talking during his set and let loose with some slurs. I didn't see anything that would indicate he's "ill" just an *******.

I've worked a tiny bit around mentally deranged types, like at homeless shelters and such. That kind of "lose control" behavior indicates some sort of mental rage issue.

You're probably right though, he could just be a ****er with no excuse.

Yeah that's what I thought after reading peoples comments. As far as I know, there is no medication that curbs racisim. I hope the media hangs this guy ot to dry.

I agree, just because he snapped, doesn't mean he has an illness. At one time in our lives we have all snapped, said things we didn't mean. It was still unacceptable tho.

The man is a racist. You don't throw around the "n" word cause someone interrupted your act. It's not acceptable.

Anyways, I can't view the video from work, so i'll reserve full judgement until later. However, anyone can lose it from time to time, and say some stupid things that may not indicate who they really are.

I cannot believe in this day in age someone would acctually say those things in public, let alone a celebrity saying them on STAGE!

I am the worlds biggest Seinfeld fan and have always loved the "Kramer" character...i dont think I will ever look at him the same after seeing this video.

Wow, and there goes his career down the drain. In today's society even though they are interrupting you can't say those things. To put it into one word about how I feel is: shocked
