well, yeah he kinda seemed like he was trying to prove a point.

like "You can say stuff that makes me upset, and disrespects me, well yeah, I can do the same, how do you like it when I call you a nigger? Interrupting my show is about the most disrespectful thing you can do to a comic, so calling you that is my equal"

I don't even think this was a personal vendetta between 2 people, I think it was a clash of roles, a heckler vs a comic, akin to racist to a black man.

Not making excuses, not saying he's right in what he did, but the comments he muttered beneath his breath between the insults do kinda put the question marks above my head.

I dunno, he probably did kill his career, but he's still a big man for making his apology.
