You people are the cause of Jesus dying," before storming offstage.Richards new publicist, Howard Rubinstein, has confirmed that his client did make the derogatory comments about Jews, but insists it was part of his act.Rubinstein says Richards told him, "I'm not anti-Semitic.

Foxx Threatens Racist Richards
Enraged Jamie Foxx has threatened to physically harm former Seinfeld star Michael Richards if the pair ever meet after the comedian stunned America with a racist rant during a recent stand-up show.

Richards has publicly apologised for remarks he made about two African-American hecklers during a performance at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood on Friday night (17Nov06) - but that's not enough for Foxx.

The Oscar winner, who was once a mainstay of the Los Angeles comedy circuit, admits he was particularly offended by Richards' remarks.

He says, "When I see him, it's on. I'm not going to let him get away with it".

"If I'd have been in the audience he would've had to put his dukes up. He probably should go get a private island somewhere, cause if I see him."..
