Okay, I believe a white comedian could, theoretically, call someone ****** and get away with it IF, IF, IF he makes it funny, which is hard enough.

But Richards wasn't making much of an effort to be funny. He'd lost it. Being in the audience when a comic looses it on the audience is pretty uncomfortable to begin with, and the slurs combine with the uncomfirtable, unfunny awfullness of the moment and make a horrible stew.
