beloved patriot is not the same the N word at all. A better comparison would be "white trash" or to a lesser extend "redneck". And of course rednecks like Larry the Cable Guy CAN use those words in jokes.

I dont think any of those compare to the N word, if anything, those words compare to blackie, or something like that.

I also think there are two different definitions to the N word, and it depends on which race you are [two groups being: black, and other] I just see em as two different words.

Go and find a poor, white, single mother and call her white trash. Her feelings will be just as hurt as if you did the equivalent to a black person.

Damon Wayans... use of the n-word, and was fined and banned from the club for three months.

After the Michael Richards incident on November 17, the club decided to ban use of the word and fine comedians $20 for every offense.

He owes me an apology! :D
Wasn't MR banned for life? And DW only gets 3 months? Have any minority groups demanded that blacks refrain from using that word?

Now comedians can't be offensive? That throws at least 50% of all comedy out the window!

Damon Wayans became the first famous offender of the Laugh Factory's ban on the use of the n-word, and was fined and banned from the club for three months as a result, Wayans' publicist tells TMZ.

After the Michael Richards incident on November 17, the club decided to ban use of the word and fine comedians $20 for every offense. Wayans took the stage Sunday during a showcase of African-American comedians called "Chocolate Sundaes." Wayans opened his routine with the line, "Give yourselves a big round of applause for coming down and supporting 'N***** Night.'" According to the L.A. Times, Wayans used the word 15 more times during his 20-minute appearance.

That's a $320 contribution to the Laugh Factory's swear jar. Wayans' rep had no further comment other than to confirm the fine and the temporary ban.

Andy Dick drew fire earlier this week for using the n-word during an appearance at the Improv.

i think i asked this before... aren't you Indian?

Why do you keep asking if I'm indian? I'm black. My mom is black. My dad is black. Both grandparents were black.

Fixed.

They never were talented. They just use the same stupid jokes that junior high students do and try to put them in situations that would be comicial, if they were good writers.

I don't think that the actual monetary value of the fine is important, but the fact that they actually FINE comics for saying the word makes me :roll:

What next, banning "p*$$y" and "cvnt" or "jap"?

knowing how stupid people are im sure this will not stop at comedy clubs...it will be funny to see rap lyrics scrubbed and sanitized of the n-word

Now I ain't say she's a gold digga, but she ain't messin' wit no broke broke

Weird Al FTW!!!!

Yeah, those n*ggers should be fined millions for making "White Chicks" and "Little Man."

****** puh-lease.

If you censor it then you're infringing on their rights. But if you say it and it offends someone then you infringe on their rights? It's a paradox an the universe in now unraveling.

Actually he is...Its Kanye Wests song, but Weird AL used it in his Polka on his latest album. But since Al is white he cant use the "n" word. So he had to change the last word. and use broke broke instead.
