The problem isn’t that we can’t take a joke. The problem is that white comedians and their fans believe they are above reproach....
It seems “freedom of speech” has the assumed caveat “freedom of speech — for white men.”

I will surely in the future bite my tongue till it bleeds for saying this, but just once, for this one thing, I have to admire Seinfield-some tweep reporter was giving hm a hard time about there being mostly white males on his weiting team or something, and he told the tweep, “I live in the world of funny, I don’t care who it comes from” or something like that. Of course, not even he has the balls as a white male to make the same kind of jokes about blacks which blacks make about whites (and the stupid whites just sit there and split their aides laughing at their own ridicule. I know ridicule is a part of humor, but everyone’s off limits except white males and in certain cases, blonde women).
Alright Seinfeild, now go ahead and do whatever it is you’re surely going to do in the future to prove to me all over again that you’re a faggy leftist.
Which is why I usually stay further than a ten foot pole from popular culture. It makes my blood pressure skyrocket to hear my race and my men, and only them, denigrated by other races who have never stepped foot on the moon, and would have stopped is if we’d had to pay out the extortion money to the back then, that we fork over now.

I remember when some of my friends used to make fun of my ethnicity “are you from lower Slobbovia?” or some other weird place in the Balkans. I didn’t care. I ribbed one friend about being Polish, others about being Norwegian. The thrust of all the jokes was how stupid you were for being whatever ethnicity. Everybody laughed. In fact, I’ve know many people with Norwegian ancestry who were very fond of telling Norwegian jokes i.e. Ole and Lena. Most of the jokes reflected on the supposed lack of intelligence of Norwegians. Apparently, there are some groups who cannot take a joke. Screw them.
“Ya mean like Nick Cannon in “white face” recently?”
I’d be OK with that if it meant he became a mime and shut up.

I remember that, it was a reverse version of BLACK LIKE ME. I thought it was pretty good, actually. I think he was actually poking fun at the original version. Anyway, I remember it!
No he isn’t. Hu’s a shortstop. :-)
It’s “okay” because he’s mocking conservatives, HE isn’t the racist, they are.

“Of course, Colbert has always been upfront in the past about the incendiary character he plays on his show, which is meant to be a send-up of offensive conservatism.”
The same crap Bill Maher is pulling.
Maher doesn’t pretend to be any kind of conservative
No but they put racist words in the mouths of “conservatives”.
The Big Lie.
