Black Man Yells "Nigger" in Hollywood, Gets Banned

Damon Wayans banned from Laugh Factory for speaking EnglishNigger Nigger Nigger Nigger

Damon Wayans was banned from the Laugh Factory yesterday after he dropped the "N-Bomb" sixteen times on Sunday at the infamous comedy club, now known as the stage that killed the career of Michael "Kramer" Richards.

"I'll be damned if the white man uses that word last," Wayans, the star of such films as "Mo' Money", reportedly said.

The Sunset Strip landmark recently warned comedians that they would be fined a whopping $20 for each time they uttered the racial slur (that is typically deemed less offensive coming from the mouths of African-Americans), which is why Wayans brought a handful of cash on stage with him as he performed his 20-minute act.

The comedian began his raucous routine by saying "Give yourselves a big round of applause for coming down and supporting 'Nigger Night,'" according to TMZ.

The $320 fine -- and three-month ban -- were confirmed by his rep, the gossip site said.

Unlike our friends at the Laugh Factory, LAist still believes that the freedom of speech doesn't come with a $20 price tag per word. And we find the hysterical knee-jerk reaction of the use of any words uttered by a former television star whose meltdown was captured on a cameraphone... hysterical.

Rumor has it that the Laugh Factory will ban racial epithets completely by the end of the year.

 

BOOK CRITICAL OF AFRICAN AMERICANS WHO USE THE N-WORD

Los Angeles, CA., Author H. Lewis Smith has written a thought provoking, culturally divided book that will not only spark heated conversation, but can also bring about real change. The N-word is often used in the African American community amongst each other and is generally not a problem when spoken by another African American. However, once the word is used by a Caucasian person, it brings on other effects. The question is "who can use the word and why?" Smith believes it is a word that should be BURIED!!!!

The book is written in a manner that all can understand. The points are well-taken and the wording is easy to follow. There are quotes from great people in our history including Martin Luther King, Jr., Harriet Tubman, James Baldwin and many, many others. Smith has mixed history with honesty, love with life, education with effects. This is a great book for educators, parents, managers, professionals, newsmen, and anyone else wanting an in-depth look at the N-word, the effects and the solutions. A MUST READ!!!!

Thank you Mr. Wayans for not being a complete idiot like the rest of these morons. Free speech doesn't end when someone gets offended.

 

The right to offend is far more important than the right not to be offended. --Rowan Atkinson
