I'm really busted up over this and I'm very, very sorry to those people in the audience, the blacks, the Hispanics, whites - everyone that was there that took the brunt of that anger and hate and rage and how it came through.

For me to be at a comedy club and flip out and say this crap, I'm deeply, deeply sorry. …\xa0I'm not a racist, that's what's so insane about this!
Shut up! Fifty years ago we'd have you upside-down with a fucking fork up your ass!
They're going to arrest me for calling a black man a nigger?
You can talk! You can talk! You can talk! You're brave now, motherfucker! Throw his ass out! He's a nigger! He's a nigger! He's a nigger! A nigger, look, there's a nigger! Ooh! Ooh! All right, ya see? It shocks you, it shocks you, to see what's buried beneath, you stupid mother fuckers!
Well, you interrupted me, pal. That's what happens when you interrupt the white man, don't you know?
Cracker-ass? Are you calling me cracker-ass, nigga?!
What was uncalled for? It is uncalled for you to interrupt my ass you cheap motherfucker!
Ohh, I guess you got me there. He's absolutely right. I'm just a wash up. Gotta stand on the stage.
