Richards is reaching out to civil rights leaders to repair damage after launching into a racist rant in Los Angeles when he was heckled by two African-Americans at a comedy club.

Jackson has slammed the former SEINFELD star saying, "He's embarrassed. He got caught on tape. That's a big part of his anxiety now."

Jackson said Richards is ill and in desperate need of professional help adding, "Clearly he needs some race sensibility training, and some psychiatric help.

"His anger is volatile and dangerous to himself and others. I hope he gets the help he needs.

"We have to evaluate the use of the n-word and categorise it as hate speech, no matter who uses it."
