Damon Wayans Fined $320 For Saying “Nigger”
Saturday, December 16th, 2006
“I’ll be damned if the white man uses that word last,” said Damon Wayans at the Laugh Factory - the same place where Michael “Kramer” Richards recently went into his racial tirade.
Wayans took the stage for a showcase of African-American comedians called “Chocolate Sundaes.”, opening with “Give yourselves a big round of applause for coming down and supporting ‘Nigger Night,’”.
Fifteen more times was the “N” word repeated during his 20-minute set. With the clubs $20-per-utterance fine, Wayans managed to clock up $320 in contributions and a three-month performance ban.
