Two of the black guys who were at the Laugh Factory just came on the Today show. They said it was a bunch of them, they went out to celebrate a friend's birthday. Their group was mixed with blacks, asians, whites and latinos. They said they got there late and must have been making too much noise (not purposely), then they sat down and ordered drinks from the waitresses.

That's when Michael Richards said that the loud blacks and mexicans were there Then one of the guys yelled out that he wasn't funny. That's what started it all. Richards made it seem like they were heckling him from get go and that's why he got so mad
