J-Fleming21266ParticipantI’ll second the respondent who pointed out that Murphy’s comedy cut lots of ways, but I’d like to point out that there are LOTS of black commedians that piss me off with naked anti-white racism in their acts. Martin Lawrence, for example. Chappelle says a lot of racist things too, but two things mitigate that: one, his anti-white rhetoric is the same anti-white rhetoric I hear from the average white sociology student, and two, he identifies his anti-white rhetoric as racist and thus involves his own racism in the joke. It’s true that repeatedly focussing on white racism, even as white racism has dwindled to a handfull of klansmen in Tennesee and two skinheads in Boston, is taken to be racist at least in effect, but whites in general accept that it’s not their place to engage in the kind of frank, honest discussion of race that others are allowed.
