Bad Comedians!!

I myself hadn't really looked into comedians being racist, Because the ones i like are not!!! But all the articles i accessed seemed to concentrate only on white comedians being racist towards other ethnicity's, When i entered various debate rooms about racist comedians a lot of people had my view. That comedians 'making fun' of white people were seen as funny.


Why is Chris Rock seen as Funny and not Racist?

So i researched the comics that had the most sites i.e the most spoke of!! So firstly...Micheal Richards
  • He was involved in a big racist attack, which was caught on video. this racist attack on a member of the audience included.....

  • The camera started rolling just as Richards began his attack, screaming at one of the men, "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass."Richards continued, "You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now motherf**ker. Throw his ass out. He's a nigger! He's a nigger! He's a nigger! A nigger, look, there's a nigger!"

From;(http://www.tmz.com/2006/11/20/kramers-racist-tirade-caught-on-tape/)

This attack was clearly outrageous, its amazing how he can speak like that now. It is disgraceful, that's not comedy to me. Comedy is making jokes, Act immature etc not being racist!! The amount of times Ive seen a white comedian joke about how a black man walks and a black comedian making fun of how a white man walks.


But there are also other aspects of bad comedians. Deviant comedians have had a reputation through joking about the following aspects;



  • Sexism, Andrew Dice Clay was well known for being discriminative of women.

  • Homosexuality

  • Basically being discriminating to anything they can!!!

because honestly, said...

i definitely see where you're coming from. the excessively and rudely racist comedians like mike richards is just disgusting. but, well this isnt fair because i love chris rock, but i think a comedian like him knows how far is too far with his sexist and racist comments. i mean, realistically, a lot of people out in the world enjoy humorous racist jokes even if they dont really take it personally, you know? dane cook makes fun of women but everyone knows what he's saying is so true. same with chris rock, white people have their shit and carlos mencia loves his mexicans. its because they say it publically that they get in trouble for it.
lol i love them though
