Laugh Factory incident

On November 17, 2006, during a performance at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood, California, a cell phone video captured Richards[1][8] shouting "Shut up" at an audience member, followed by "He's a nigger!" to the rest of the audience[9] (using the word at 6 times altogether), and also making a reference to lynching. [10] He was addressing a group of black hecklers.[11] Richards made a public apology for his remarks, during a satellite appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman.[12] He described going into a rage and said, "For me to be at a comedy club and to flip out and say this crap, I'm deeply, deeply sorry." He said he was trying to defuse heckling by being even more outrageous, but that it had backfired. Richards later called civil rights leaders Al Sharpton[13] and Jesse Jackson[14] in order to apologize. He also appeared as a guest on Jackson's syndicated radio show.[15] A Top Ten List featured on The Late Show in February 2007, titled "Top Ten Ways to Make the Grammy Awards More Exciting" and read by guest Christina Aguilera, mentioned Richards giving out the "rap and hip-hop awards".[16] 17 November is also the name of a Marxist group in Greece, coinciding with the anniversary of the Athens Polytechnic uprising. ...
