LOS ANGELES (AP) - Two men who say they were insulted by actor-comedian Michael Richards during his racist rant at a comedy club want a personal apology and maybe some money, their lawyer said Friday.
The men, Frank McBride and Kyle Doss, said they were part of a group of about 20 people who had gathered at West Hollywood's Laugh Factory to celebrate a friend's birthday. According to their attorney, Gloria Allred, they were ordering drinks when Richards berated them for interrupting his act.

OF COURSE it's all about the money.
Scumbag? Meet scumbag.
I thought Chris Rock was gonna call me a N**** yo...
" Two men "
Well, you know how men are, always suing when a stand up comedian attacks them, or maybe not.
WHO CAN I SUE?
Send your check or money order to White Guilt Relief Fund, care of Garrett Morris, 870 West 127th Street, New York, New York 10089 [Superimposed text reads: WHITE GUILT RELIEF FUND c/o Garrett Morris, 870 West 127th Street, New York, New York 10089
I dont care for what Richards said, Although I hope he doesnt settle this case and fights Allred
in court. I want to hear her defense. I guess you can only have hate(free) speech if you are attacking Bush Jr.
If Richards had any guts (moot point), he'd tell gloria, "Hey I was only talking to the 2 guys who heckled me during my act, not you or anybody else, so STFU, bitch!" Where's sam kinneson when you need him?
LOL! Didn't George have a favorite charity called "The Human Fund"?
Anyone who walks into a comedy club knows that there's a good chance they could end up being insulted. I guess it's now another good place to troll for possible people/corporations to sue. McDonald's/hot coffee mentality alert.
Note to self: Don't go to loud/obnoxious places where feelings might get hurt by washed up comedian on stage who aspires to shock audience as he squelches hecklers.
Gloria Allred is as shameless as OJ. She only takes cases where she can get in front of a camera. And she has the gall to present herself as a 'champion of women's rights'. I know the woman. She's the worst kind of 'victim' chaser and a big reason lawyers have such bad reps.
Hope Richards counter-sues them for "f-g white boy" and "cracker."
The white boy needs to pay their attorney and pay them each a few thousand but it must be stipulated that if "the victims" ever say: "N****r" or "N***a" ever in their lives they have to pay the white boy back double.
Excuse me but who is Bush Jr.? Do you mean President Bush?
From November 20th:
"Kyle Doss, an African-American, told TMZ he and some friends were in the cheap seats and he was 'playfully' heckling Richards when suddenly, the comedian lost it."Now:
"According to their attorney, Gloria Allred, they were ordering drinks when Richards berated them for interrupting his act."So they go from actually interrupting and heckling Richards to now passively and meekly just ordering some drinks. Yeah right.
When you say "President Bush" do you mean George W. Bush or George H. W. Bush?
I suspect "Bush Jr." is just being used as shorthand for George W. Bush.
In no way am I defending Richards behavior or use of the ENWURD. It was racist, plain and simple. He was attempting to publicly humiliate, belittle, and ridicule Gloria's two "innocent gentleman victims".
What the media and talking heads always ignore, was before his racist outburst, these two "gentleman" were also attempting to publicly humiliate, belittle, and ridicule Richards who was trying to do his act.
Funny how the media always conveniently edits out what the PC media call their "playful" interruptions, "playful" heckling and "playful" insults, before Richards retaliated.
It's also interesting that all of our liberal Media armchair psychiatrists, and so called black leaders and racist hypocrites, such as "Reverend" Jesse 'Hymie town' Jackson, and "Reverend" Al 'Tawana Brawley' Sharpton (whom the media treat like they're pure as the driven snow, and never challenge them about their own racist past) see Richards' racially inflammatory response, after being angered by his hecklers, as proof that deep down inside he is a racist, YET, totally ignore this also angry black male's racially inflammatory response of "Cr*cka ass white boy!", as evidence that deep down inside this black male is a racist too!
I wonder what would happen to a white male if he went to let's say a black night club and "playfully" interrupted, heckled and insulted the black act on stage.
