Cheers had just ended, so they had nothing to take away from him at that point. But everyone flipped out anyway. Whoopi made it confusing. He laid low for a few years. Everyone forgot when he came back since he didn't have a track record of racist shit. Just came off like a dude who mistakenly thought fucking Whoopi gave him a ghetto pass.
I'm sure a lot of strongly worded letters were written, but you don't hear about them. That's the downside of the internet, that news outlets thing twitter is a viable source for news.
If by pass you mean was shunned by Hollywood for awhile and beat up by the media, and deals with it every time black face is brought up in the news, then yeah, he got a pass.

He took heat for this when it happened.

Here's the apparent transcript of his roast speech:

It's pretty unfunny.

I don't think AntH has the funds to sue him for this.

Also this was before social media, so the backlash could only be so strong. And then it quickly went away, and people moved on.

Citing tweets was the death of journalism. I want people to die.
2 EastSideDan 2016-11-21
Um...he didn't get a pass. He dealt with a ton of shit about this for years.
