I see. Very unfortunate. Racism is complicated and more deeply rooted the most will realize and accept. What he said isn't okay and never will be. I hope he's grown since then and made amends for his mistakes.

I think he has moved on from what he did. He was in a semi-recent episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry and I seem to remember they spoke briefly about it. Maybe not, though.

Unfortunately for him though, there are no take-backs. Nor should there be. He metaphorically hit the lottery, and wasted all his winnings right there on that stage.
