![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Eddie Griffin thought he'd shock the swells at a big Black Enterprise event over the weekend by littering his act with N-words, but the comic was the one who got the real jolt when the mag's owner gonged his routine, and tossed him off the stage! 
Rev. Al Sharpton tells TMZ that Griffin took the stage as the headliner and did his best Michael Richards impression, blistering the mostly African-American crowd with a barrage of N-bombs, and wailing, "Why are some black leaders telling us to stop using the N word?"
Griffin's mike was promptly cut, and Black Enterprise owner/publisher Earl Graves stomped on stage and proclaimed, "We ... will not allow our culture to go backwards ... We will pay Mr. Griffin all that we owe him but we will not allow him to finish the show if that's the way he's going to talk." Oh, snap!
The crowd gave Graves a standing ovation -- and Rev. Al, speaking the next day at the event, gave Graves props for his axing of Griffin. A rep for Griffin had no comment.

Good, it's about time something was done about artist using the N word.
Griffin got OWNED and rightly so. About time we blacks hold ourselves to the same standards we hold everyone else too!!
It is about time. People will not have respect for us if we do not have it for ourselves!!!!
And yet, it's OK to have NAACP, BET & The Congressional Black Caucus...
#4 is a racist, until things are equal then there will be a need for these organizations.
So, we can't have a dialog on how the organizations I named are racist themselves? And, things are equal imo
Congrats to the Black leaders who have the courage to confront this issue. It needs to be a continued fight for decency and equality. Equality means equal repsonsibility in this case and it is nice to see that the leaders in the black community are taking this seriously. Props to you --- a middle aged white guy.
Number 8, Ratbanger, is obviously an idiot, and a disgrace to white people everywhere. His internet priveliges should be taken away by his mother.
I can't believe how racist that guy is, just using the N word like it's nothing. You are what's wrong in God's beautiful world. You are a sick person and you need help.
You are ignorant and neither do I you racist. You are not worth it, you will get yours in the end you piece of trash.
Black people do not teach their kids to dislike whites and Mexicans. They teach us to beware those who would oppress us simply because we look different from them. Anyone can watch BET. The person who made that comment obviously hasn't been watching it lately. Who is the number one female R&B singer? A white woman named Fergie. Male? Justin Timberlake. Don't open your mouth if you don't know about what the hell you speak.
