Andy Dick: "I Have Offended a Lot of People"

Andy DickJust hours after TMZ broke the story about Andy Dick's cavalier use of the N word in a comedy club this weekend, the alleged comedian has admitted that he made a huge mistake.

In an apology issued through his publicist, Dick said, "I chose to make a joke about a subject that is not funny. In an attempt to make light of a serious subject, I have offended a lot of people, and I am sorry for my insensitivity. I wish to apologize to Ian, to the club, and its patrons and to anyone who was hurt or offended by my remark."

Andy was heckling comedian Ian Bagg at L.A.'s Improv comedy club Saturday, when he sudddenly got out of his seat and jumped onstage, cracked jokes about Michael Richards, and referred to the crowd by the N word.

46. For ryan i'd like to add that there is more torment historically concerning the so called n-word than it has to the word cracker as a demeaning phrase. I'm sick of it too, from so to speak non-racist, and from my own fellow black folk. I'm old school, and our era spent a lot of effort trying to dispell that word. Thus..being of that old school mentality i can borrow from the words of mr. Tee, if i'm called that particulaly from a non- black person....I pity the fool!

47. This is the new publicity stunt for fading celebs. Just say the N-word in public and your career is resurrected by going on the talk show circuit. Tom Cruise will be next to use it

48. Andy Dick gives me a headache...I don't know what it is he JUST DOES.
He's earwax with a body and name. He's annoying, not funny. He and Pauly Shore should get married and move to Saipan.

49. Whatever happened to free speech? I hate the fact that people are basically being told by the media that they must apologize and kiss ass for using any kind of slur. This is a free country and people from all groups/races/religions/etc. should stop acting like whining babies. I'm part of a group of people that is routinely maligned by the public. Do I like it, no. But I don't run around whining and pissing and moaning every time something is said to me that I don't like. And I sure don't expect people that have said hateful things to me to get on national t.v. and radio and sit still while I and others like me berate the individual for hours. Give me a break. Grow the f*** up.

50. Number # 44, all I have to say to that is bullsh*t. Since when is this N word reflects slavery? If you really look into what Negro means or niger (yes i am typing it straight) it just means "black". It doesn't necessarily mean slave. Whenever I hear someone say this word, all that comes to my mind is a black person. I never thought, oh yeah that is a slave person.

Honestly, I have nothing against black people, I am even from another country, but man, they need to get over this thing. I think it makes them look bad rather than get sympathy. In my country, the local people who has dark skin are called Negritos and they want to be called as that because that is the name of their tribe and they take pride in that name instead of simply calling them "dark skin" people or black people. They feel more offended if you call them black people or dark skin people because it doesn't reflect the culture that they are from but they never think of it as discrimination. These people are indigenous people because despite the fact that the world has changed so much and even if they move along with it, they are able to maintained at least part of their linguistic, culture and social characteristics which makes them unique, and for me, interesting.
