Actually I've listen to a lot of black comedians joke about blacks, and make jokes about stereotypical black things. So I don't think there's a big problem out there.

Chris Rock hates everybody as much as everybody hates him.

There's a lot of racism going on. Who's more racist, black people or white people? It's black people! You know why? Because we hate black people too! Everything white people don't like about black people, black people really don't like about black people ,and there's two sides, there's black people and theres niggas. The niggas have got to go. You can't have **** when you around niggas, you can't have ****. You can't have no big screen TV! You can have it, but you better move it in at 3 in the morning. Paint it white, hope niggas think it's a bassinet. Can't have **** in your house! Why?! Because niggas will break into your house. Niggas that live next door to you break into your house, come over the next day and go, "I heard you got robbed." Nigga, you know you robbed me. You didn't see **** 'cause you was doing ****! You can't go see a movie, you know why? 'Cause niggas is shooting at the screen, "This movie's so good I gotta bust a cap in here!" You know the worst thing about niggas? Niggas always want credit for some **** they supposed to do. A nigga will brag about some **** a normal man just does. A nigga will say some **** like, "I take care of my kids." You're supposed to, you dumb mother****er! What kind of ignorant **** is that? "I ain't never been to jail!" What do you want, a cookie?! You're not supposed to go to jail, you low-expectation-having mother****er!
 
I like to tell this joke to my Catholic friends (actually they sometimes use this joke)


There was a priest on his 1st day on the job. His first parishioner came into confession. He said "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned."

"What is your sin my son?"

"My wife and I love anal sex, but I know the Bible says its wrong."

The Priest agreed that it was wrong, but couldn't think of an appropriate penance.

"One moment please...." the Priest said. Just then he left the confessional and began looking for the Deacon so he could find out what penance to give. He had looked everywhere and was beginning to get really worried. Just then he saw an altar boy.

"Excuse me my son, I'm on my first confessional, and I'm not sure what penance to give. Do you know what the Deacon usually gives for anal sex?"

The altar boy quickly replied, "I don't know, a Snickers bar and a coke?"
 
We see it on TV and in the movies everyday. A black comedian or a black sitcom or a black movie. They move directly into bashing on whites, calling them honkies, crackers and other derogatory terms. Often times they'll have whites appear to be ignorant about the world around them and so on.

They're are even stations, BET, that tailor a large segment of their broadcasts are directed right at this type of comedy.

So, should this be allowed or is this another type of racism? Should whites be allowed to launch all white networks, such as WET, that target their jokes towards blacks?

Keep in mind, blacks use the term "cracker" and "honkie" (recently heard Kid Rock use Honkie) all the time, when's the last time you heard a modern movie where a white used the "N" word?

This post reminds me of the Tosh.O episode with Average Homeboy...
 
So, who is n ow forced to sit in the back of the bus, sleep in a different hotel, or drink out of separate fountains, or use a different restroom, or step off the sidewalk when a white went by....?

Sure, historically these things did happen; but currently do not. No one alive today has had to face that if they were born in the US.

The reason there is now a big difference between nigger and cracker is that people today keep insisting that there is a big difference between the two. Racists.

There is a difference because one has historical connotations that other doesn't have...
 
I don't hate him.

Everybody Hates Chris. Pretty funny show.

Everybody Hates Chris is an American sitcom inspired by the teenage experiences of comedian Chris Rock (who is also the narrator), while growing up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York (often referred to in the show as Bed-Stuy) from 1982 to 1987. Chris Rock grew up with a boy named Kenny Montero who he has often referred to as the inspiration for a lot of the episodes. In many interviews, Rock has described Kenny as the reason he got into comedy in the first place. The title of the show parodies the CBS sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond. Rock stated "Everybody Loves Raymond but Everybody Hates Chris!". The show's lead actors are Tyler James Williams, Terry Crews, Tichina Arnold, Tequan Richmond, Imani Hakim, and Vincent Martella.
 
But black comedians also make fun of themselves and their race daily...look at the Wayans Brothers and early Jamie Foxx and Edie Murphy. Didn't Richard Pryor do that too, a bit before my time. The only problem I have is that Whites aren't allowed to make fun of anybody, because that is racist, but other races can make fun of whites, as Eddie Murphy did in his classic SNL sketch, "White Like Us" or whatever that was titled... Mr. White. The bus scene, the banker just giving him money... classic.

Chelsea Handler and Tosh.O make fun of other races all the time
 
If you are funny you can pretty much do whatever you want. You just have to be funny. That's why Carlos Mencia sucks and Michael Richards blew up. Plenty of people talk about race and make it hilarious (like Bill Burr), but some comedians are just hacks.

Carlos Mencia is funny, I know plenty of people think he's not but I do. The only comedian I've seriously thought was unfunny was Dane Cook.
 
I have a feeling this thread is going to be in the basement

See, you clearly don't watch much stand-up comedy. He is a good actor that can make everyone laugh, but since he uses everyone else's jokes that kind of makes him not all that funny. That's South Park picked on him for stealing jokes during the Fish Sticks episode and that's why this youtube video of Joe Rogan going on stage during one of his bits exists:



I mean did you hear him, "Do you really think a Jew wrote that joke?"

Hellz no, on the poll question. I object to Black comedians doing that, big time. Hellz no, Dog. Hellz no. I might agree, the day White comedians can smash on Blacks for comedy purposes. Ha, ha.

I've seen this. I don't think Carlos Mencia is unfunny because he stole jokes. What's the best thing Joe Rogan has done for comedy?

Missed those, thanks. They don't in TV or in the Movies though, at least I have not seen it. I know that Chelsea makes fun of midgets though!

Like Joe Rogan said, h'e really funny with other people's material. Say what you want about Joe Rogan, but I think he's pretty funny and he writes his own ****:

 
The words "honkie" and "cracker" don't have the same connotation as "nigger." They just don't. I don't find either name offensive, actually -- because I wasn't asked to sit in the back of the bus or sleep in a different hotel or drink out of a separate fountain or use a different restroom or step off the sidewalk when a white went by or risk getting killed if I whistled at a black woman or made to serve my master morning 'til night.

Very different circumstances.

But most Blacks today have not had the same happen to them, I was born in 1962, I had nothing to do with the Dixiecrat racism of the south, I am from Cuba but I look white so I get treated like I am white from blacks. I hate being called a "spick" or shark bait or raft monkey, Yes these terms are used against cubans in south florida by blacks and whites, to tell you the truth I don't like the calling of names even in a joke, I think in demeans the person you are using it against. Sorry I thisnk it's in inappropriate to use in any setting.
 
A good joke combines varying levels of the following elements:

1) Truth
2) Taking something to its logical conclusion
3) Hyperbole
4) Presentation suitable to the audience
5) The mental equivalent of having your nipples treated like radio dials

Each comedian has their favorite subject matter, and their formula for mixing those elements when addressing that subject matter. Their success depends on their ability to tailor the recipe for each individual audience.

If you think it's offensive, you don't have to watch or listen to it. If you don't think it's suitable for children, keep your kids away from it.



tl;dr: Since there's no "Don't give a ****" option, I substituted self-important pontification for a vote on the poll. :lol:
 
It seems like everybody is forgetting how racist South Park is... :lol:

And the writers are white..
