text: Heckling is expected in stand up.  This is motivation for comedians to improve their act and get some laughs with a snappy comeback.  Richards was acting like a baby who can't take any criticism and he threw a tantrum and his true colors came out.  He clearly looks like someone who'd never done this before.  Whatever his issues were, he should have reacted to the expected heckling like a normal person; rather than personally attack someone based on race.  There are many racists in Hollywood (don't be fooled by the "liberal" branding).  A black woman working behind the scenes on "Friends" made a claim that the writers would constantly make racist, anti-black comments and sexist comments regarding the actresses on the show.  This is the REAL Hollywood you don't hear much about until incidences like this.
