Chris Rock - Black People Vs Niggaz

Sagemind says...

So... is this controversial to everyone, just the black people or just for the white people?
I'm a white Canadian, skin colour means nothing to me, we are every colour. I see more racism from the people immigrating into Canada than I see from the ones raised here. I just don't get it.

I believe in good people and bad people, regardless of skin.
I know it is different everywhere, especially in the US.
The media tells me it gets worse as you go south but I have no first hand info.

What I see from this video is Chris labeling the "Thugs / Punks" as niggers and that the rest of the upstanding folks as black people. I suppose that it is the fact that he is using the word "nigger" that's controversial.

It isn't a word in my vocabulary, but what I've noticed is:
If you are white, the word in unacceptable.
If you are black, the word is not used in "polite society"
If you are black and from the street, you brand yourself with the word and are proud of it. (again - from the media - not first hand)

I don't know, I don't really use derogatory swear words but I would count this one up there with f**k, Sh*t and such. I know if I ever heard it from any one of my friends, I would be offended and I'm not black.

So for Chris to call out the people with low morals and intellect, and who are proud of it and label them as niggers, to me is the same as calling them scum of the earth thugs. (in this example).

I hope I'm not opening a can of worms here, I just don't care for racism in any form. I also don't care for vulgar profanity in public, especially when kids are around. It has become acceptable for comedians to use bad language for effect and I'm sure Richard Prior was among the first. Bill Cosby on the other hand voiced his opinion against it as unnecessary in order to be funny.

So... whatever, as Chris said, don't be dumb and proud of it. Don't use racism as a crutch (regardless, whether you are white or one of the many colours).
Note as an example, the Wayne Brothers. Poor as dirt growing up and maintained their self respect. (as many others and as I did).

Holly Crap, that was long.... Sorry!

Wayne Brady did Bill Cosby first, and that's all I got, I didn't even get BDW, because we never got those ads in Australia... we only know him as Lando! I thought the Jeff Goldblum impression was great!

Carlos Mencia Stealing Jokes From Cosby

theo47 says...

Why is it in each and every one of these type of threads, one or two people defend mediocrity? Why??

Anyone who'd even dare to step on a stand-up stage would know Bill Cosby: Himself is a classic, so to steal from it, you'd either have to be extremely lazy or extremely stupid, and from the little I've seen of Mencia's act, he's both.

Sweet Sweetback's Baad Asssss Song 1971

wildmanBill says...

The movie that Mario Van Peebles made just a few years ago, simply called 'Badass' is very good as well. Mario plays his father Melvin and 'Badass' chronicles all of the hoops that Melvin had to jump through to get this movie made. Including begging Bill Cosby for 50,000 dollars so he could shoot the last few scenes and complete editing.

Malcolm X - What America should learn from Islam

quantumushroom says...

It's 2007. These, uh, Muslims who "see others as part of the human family"...where are they? Islam, a backwards religion plagiarized as it is from Judaism and Christianity, seems to lack love and tolerance for non-Muslims, so much so the fictional "moderate Muslims" have allowed thugs to hijack their voice and faith.

Malcolm X today would be like Bill Cosby, speaking the obvious about self-reliance and education. And like Cosby today, he would've also been shunned and made an outcast by "civil rights groups" which once served a purpose but now are little more than extortion rings for "black leaders".
