I'm not saying Richards' move into that dark humor was right,
Dude,
"50 years ago we would have had you upside down w/ a f*in fork up your ass" is not humor.
THIS REALLY USED TO HAPPEN. AS RECENTLY AS.......50 YRS AGO.
YOU SHOULD BE MORE SENSITIVE TO THAT FACT.
(And Richards was not called a cracker until AFTER he began his rant. The guys were talking loud and interrupting and it pissed him off. They did not hurl racial slurs until AFTER Richards did).
