What do you think eric?
This is a dupe, but the video quality is better and it has the intro--that I love.
(Maybe you and Jlowen can work something out?)

Must be where Dave Chappelle got his crackhead lips idea from.

comedy is the best way to present social criticism.

... ooh dave chappelle, where for art though

not sure if my two pence means jack shit being between a P and a star (dunno what that makes me....a blank?) but.....if the knee jerk reaction to an arguably perceivable racist remark is to ban, no ifs, ands, or buts, its not really gonna get anyone anywhere. Racism, while not as overt as it was in the early 19th century or the mid 20th century, is still very much a volatile issue raising many different emotions.

personally i feel it helps to understand why certain remarks or their context offends us and why we feel it is racist. for the statement in question "and people wonder why blah blah blah", is it offensive to you because he said nigger? is it offensive because he made a reference to black people as being niggers? is it offensive not by its diction but by how cavalier he seemed to throw racially sensitive words around such as nigger?

i mean everyone is gonna take it differently. but if we dont understand why certain words or phrases or syntax's are offensive to us, especially concerning racial content, then what are we doing exactly?

the "n word" in particular is an extremely sensitive word to many many people. but its use and the different reactions of its use depending on the color of the person using it does paint a strange picture of race relations in society in my eyes. Its a word that can simultaneously invoke humor and vitriol but if we just ignore it, and its impact, and just stick our fingers in our ear whenever it us uttered, nothing is gonna change.

im kind of reminded of Dave Chappelle's "Niggar Family" sketch. I can only speculate that the sketch serves to remove the controversy of the word itself making it more or less a trivial utterance to raise awareness to the why: why is this word so offensive? why is it only offensive in certain contexts? why is it only offensive if nonblacks say it?

personally i feel two ways about the word. 1) everyone should say it all the damn time, or 2) no one should say it at all

I heard "nobody's helping me!" at one point...

... which reminded me of Dave Chappelle's bit about how uncool it is to laugh at Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street; "Bitch, I live in a fucking trash can! I'm the poorest motherfucker on Sesame Street. Nobody's helpin' me."

I may have an overactive imagination.

Fixed Thanks!!

That's what I told myself when I had to go through the procedure at Hamburg airport last month. They are using these scanners experimentally, so you actually get to pick if you pass through the scanner or accept a classic pat down. As if to punish folks who don't like to be guinea pigs, they appear to be searching people quite thoroughly nowadays.

Back to the point though, the fantasy of having a young female security employee give your crotch a quick once-over makes it less unappealing. Like Jimmy Carr says, "don't neglect the balls". But that bubble bursts when reality catches up with you and some dude is manhandling your balls.

If that's the way they treat an average Caucasian guy over here, Dave Chappelle's description of police encounters might become the standard welcoming procedure after the arrival in the US: "spread your cheeks and lift your sack!".

Anyway, next time I'm visiting a friend in England, I'll take the 8 1/2 hour train ride, thank you very much.

Chappelle and I agree...if you're stupid, then kill yourself.

Does that mean you'll be doing us all a favour soon?


No no no...More...you need MORE. This is slightly suggesting that killing myself will happen. You need to just come out and TELL stupid people to kill themselves.

Dave Chappelle did it way better (though I can't get that video to play):
