Wayans Drops N-Bomb, Faces Fallout

16. Okay the word is offensive as it is...But why is that one word "BANNED" and it's okay to use other insulting words in regards to hispanics, asians and every other race? I get the double standard that blacks can call each other the "N" word but it's sacrilegious if a white person says it. It is what it is and it's a double standard. Just like the "F" word the "N" word can mean so many different variations and YES when used as an INSULT it can be hurtful; just like "F U ,U FATASS".

But really who the hell is gonna enforce comedians to add to the kitty swear jar? How efing stupid is that? What if they refuse? Is the SWEAR POLICE gonna come and take em away?

Just because this a**hole racist MR misused the word to the fullest extent why is it that everyone else has to blow this so efing out of proportion? Whether he has anger issues or not he's been exposed for the a**hole he is and he will always be marked as the man that VICIOUSLY ATTACKED PEOPLE RACIALLY in the audience.

It won't be the first or the last time a person of another color or race insulted another person of color or race. Build a bridge get efing over it and move on.

17. No No No! The Laugh Factory is way out of bounds here. This was an all colored folks night out. When ever you get a bunch of them together in one place they like to call each other N*gga. N*gga this, N*gga that, N*gga how yo momma? N*gga when yu get outa jail? It is the way they talk to one and other, so on a night lake chocolate sundaes night the N word is perfectly acceptable

18. As far as I'm concerned, Richards stooped low as to being narrow minded and foul mouthed. I believe he also faced that consequence nationwide for his offensive behavior. To conclude my thought or comment, I feel it is not fair for another no matter what race or national origin, to be so racist within the comedy industry.
Look what it has done for all society in general. It has captured every one's attention like wild fire, and has aroused every one's judgement in character.
In other words we ( the world) have been battling the race issue for years and years and years now. And for this to happen with Richards it has even more divided us all.
Just my own personal thought and opinion. Am I wrong for it?

19. if you are easily offended, don't go to comedy shows........comedy is for people to lighten up, not sit there & bring thier bitterness criticizing every bit, go home & be bitter at home alone. yeh, some words do represent hate but to those of us who don't take everything so seriously it's just a joke.............remember people.....
sticks & stones may break our bones, but words can never.... well you know.
granted he projected it rather than used it in delivery, that was wrong but using it in comedic bits is just that .you don't see this white cracker no ass having bi*#h throwin fits about that stereotype, banning stuff only fuels it ...lighten up people!

OH GET OVER YOUR NARROW MINDED SELF. IT'S A DOUBLE STANDARD AND OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOR NO MATTER WHAT RACE OR NATIONAL ORIGIN YOU ARE. IT IS NOT O.K. FOR YOU TO SAY IT EVEN IF IT WAS A CHOCOLATE SUNDAE NIGHT BUDDY. HOW BOUT IT TO BE O.K. FOR A OR ANY WHITE MAN TO HAVE A VANILLA MILK SHAKE NIGHT AND SAY THE N WORD.
NOT O.K. EHHHH?

26. It sure doesn't bother when they use the N word in their music videos ( but that is making them money) and they sure don't mind that they offend women. I hear them in their music refering to them as "bitches" . I have worked around black men before and had to hear them ALL DAY LONG calling each other the N word. It is just the same old thing, "Don't do as I do, Do as I say".
PS: Don't call me white, I'm Irish/German American.

27. adult comedy contains a lot of insults to a lot of people. and that can be funny. or not. but we are all free to attend or not attend if we do not want to risk being offended.

the laugh factory is full of BS to ban one word. It solves nothing and probably will only exacerbate the problem. chill out. its comedy. who cares if Richards hates balck people. shouldn't we be more concerned that our president doesn't like black people?

finally, #10 (and seemingly most other tmz commenters), i love you, but for f*ck sake, look up the following words: THERE, THEIR, THEY'RE

28. Wow! If comedy clubs want to ban the N word because it is offensive then they better be banning all the other offensive words including, swear words, sex words, racial words (there are alot of worse words besides the N-word).

If people are going to get offended by these types of words then they need not go to comedy clubs. Like everything else, up tight people have to ruin a good thing for the rest of us because they get offened. I realize people are saying that MR used it in an offensive manner, but please don't sit here and tell me the guy he said it too, never used that word. Why is it okay for black people to say it to one another in any tone, I've heard it jokingly and offensively spoken towards each other. The minute a white person says it, it's racial. You don't hear white people calling each other crackers do you? Give me a break!

29. That is hilarious! I love Damon Wayans! He told the Laugh Factory to shove it up their ass! But wait, I am sure that someone in the audience was offended and now wants a handout from Wayans, oh yeah, it's ok for a n*gger to say n*gger, just not a white dude...I forgot. You've got to give it to the Factory though, what a way to make some quick cash!

30. why can black people use the word but if a white person uses it they are called a racist and they have to explain themselves.
