yeah. a little bit. it was the best entertainment i ever got out of don imus's crapass anyway

[JeepinJeff]

out of line? Yes

Have others said much much worse? every day.

[sinfuldragon]

Out of line - No. His job is entertainment at other people's expense.. think he did a pretty good job of it right there.

Others saying worse, I've yet to see a black comic get on stage and not throw out racial slurs against white people, mexicans, asians, and THEMSELVES.

I agree that most comics get away with the racial stuff but it is usually broad, stereotypical generalizations like "the white man that can't dance, jump, etc." In my mind that is completely different than picking out one group of ten specific girls and calling them "nappy headed hoes."

making mass generalizations for comedic effect (carlos mencia, chris rock, dave chappelle) is completely different then singling out a few people and making racial comments

i think it was taken to the extreme. especially when they have the white girl talking about how she is scared

see it wasn't race related at all, he didn't say only the black ones were nappy headed hoes

[Quick 26]

I disagree. find me one white comedian thats known for their black jokes (and not kramer, I mean someone who actually gets away with it)

[Quick 26]

because we cant

[Quick 26]

and carlos talked about that last night

[sinfuldragon]

I'll check that when I get home since its called not safe for work

[UncleJesse954]

i see your points there too. white people are just asking to be mobbed if they even try to make comedy or stereotypical comments of another race. but imus totally flopped on his attempt. it was hilarious. i know it was a mistake. but he was just askin for it when that came out of his mouth

[sinfuldragon]

Until we are able to take these words and make them nothing more than words regardless of who says them we aren't going to be able to get rid or racism.
And the double standard I can say it but you can't just pisses me off

[KenB]

If you're waiting for Jackson and Sharpton to apologize to those kids from Duke, or rally against rap artists who fill our public airwaves with lyrics about ho's, drugs, rape, killing cops, etc., you're in for a long wait.

Stevie Wonder said it best (about thirty years ago), "When I was just a nappy headed little boy..."

[JeepinJeff]

the times, they are a changin.

i was watching short circut with nick cannon and he did a skit about "working with white people" that struck me wrong. one comment was made we are not sure why they act the way they do. if you see the skit that is the pot calling the kettle back. i would like to file a complaint on it just because of all the bs that the reverand started

click on the working with white people, its comical, but that is way worse than imus

Chris Rock and Martin Lawrence are the two that piss me off the most. Both can be very funny at times but I'm tired of them bitching and moaning about rich white people (pisses me off even more since they are well... rich themselves). and its not just while doing stand up. What about in "jay and silent bob strike back" The skit of chris rock being the director.

[Quick 26]

i am sure that was probably in his terms to appear in the movie

I think it's funny as Hell! I laughed. What's wrong with it? It was a friggin' joke guys! And well done. Of course I've never seen anyone pretend Ball punching, but who cares. It was FUNNY!
The only thing I can't understand is why it wouldn't be funny if it was about working with Black people. Why can't it be funny also? Well, it is. It's just that the lawyers have figured out a way to profit from it. It's called sueing for hate! And they're raking it in on our backs and lack of brains.

[praylood_93]

until this circus i didn't even know that "nappy" was a racial term. I thought it was an adjective used to describe something frizzy, dirty, messy...
what a joke.

Actually, if a white person uses an adjective in a sentence that also contains the word black in it, it is automatically a new racist term.

[Quick 26]

it was funny, but if you did a skit working with black people and make the statement "we dont know why they act the way they do" you would be crusified

that was funny, i don't care who ya are.

and white people (particularly the men folk) do greet each other in rather odd ways. my old boss had an office right next to mine so i got to hear all his personal calls to his buddies where he would leave messages starting with "Hey Bro-ski!" We (my assistant and I) were just waiting for "brother from another mother" or something equally ridiculous. As for the ball-punching, he didn't do that, but when he stopped to talk to people he would scratch himself... and not in a basic shift kinda way either, more like a "hey, i think they make a cream for that" kinda way. Creeped out all the women in the office.
