Club Owner Wants Jackson To Pay For Using N-Word

CHICAGO (CBS) ― The owner of a comedy club wants the Rev. Jesse Jackson to pay up for his use of the n-word.

After comedian and actor Michael Richards used the word at Hollywood's Laugh Factory two years ago, the owner joined Rev. Jackson in calling for a ban on the word's use.

Now, he says Jackson needs to pay the fine comedians pay when they use the word at the club. That reportedly amounts to something around $50.
