Richards might do well to focus on getting some anger-management counselling as well as considering doing some work supporting the worst hit of the Katrina victims. Even if if that won’t “unring” this bell, it would certainly be an appropriate gesture, and a good follow-up to his mea culpa.
I’ll give him this much: he at least has the courage to own up to his reprehensible fuck-up without blaming it on booze or whatever. Maybe the bigger story here is the underlying thread of racism many of us of all colors carry whether we are brave enough to admit it or not.
