"I wish we could just poke fun at each other and use what ever point of differences we have to do that. But alas things aren't that simple and evil creeps into the equation. There are no funny racists." Watch Russel peters red, white and brown and tell me you didn't cry with laughter. | |||

"Everyone will see differently what is and isn't acceptable. Personally I prefer to think about how people treat one another rather than the comedy routine they create to determine if someone is being racist. If it's not peddling a message of hate then for me personally (and just for me personally) not a lot is off-limits when it comes to comedy. The only things I suppose I don't personally laugh at are jokes about people being physically harmed or killed. It's collective thinking that's makes everyone think they ought to toe a line on this subject for fear of a backlash or being judged. I don't check the race relations act before I laugh, it just happens. " Jimmy Carr is a classic one for that he says his favourite kind of joke is when some1 laughs then goes ooo | |||

"Now replace RACIST COMEDY with OBSERVATIONAL COMEDY THAT POINTS OUT THE FUNNY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ETHNICITIES, get off your soapboxes and lighten the fuck up! Granted, no white man can make fun of the difference between ordinary black americans and those that call themselves niggas like Chris Rock, because he is a black american. But white redheaded Irish Bostonian Bill Burr is great at observational comedy and can have a theatre full of black people howling with laughter, so I'd nominate him as a man that can do it right, regardless of offending all the eggshell ballerinas out there!" Well said, with sunglasses. | |||

It is a great ability to be able to laugh at yourself. It is a greater ability to be able to laugh with others giving you a bit of banter. There is no place for real racism or a chip on a shoulder! | |||

"I think it can be the funniest comedy when done correctly. Like Russel peters guy is hilarious. What you guys think? And who your favourite comedian? " Surprisingly enough the guy who had the most racist routine was Richard Prior yet he hardly ever got lambasted. Shows what you can get away with I guess. | |||

" I think they were trying to be funny personally rather than feed an agenda, the comedians who worked on that show said they themselves could never stop laughing it was so much fun to make. The aim of comedy should be to make an audience laugh first and foremost and if it puts promoting political beliefs ahead of that it's not comedy, it's propaganda. | |||

"Did anyone ever see Darkus Howe go to a Bernard Manning gig in a documentary he did. Was years ago now. He said it opened his eyes and it opened mine too to my own over-sensitivity. He said he tried very hard not to laugh, really hard, in the end he just gave in to it. He realised the audience (who weren't all white) simply enjoyed having the piss taken out of themselves. In fact revelled in it. He may have been a horrible sexist, racist bigot to many, some people just saw a good comedian. And I've probably just mentioned the most unmentionable comedian there is, feel free to be horrified." My dad would howl with laughter at Bernard Manning. He also liked Jim Davidson, the Black and White Minstrels and Til Death Do Us Part. Didn't find any of them funny then or now. | |||

"You know what's a great comedy topic though? Racists! Not outward racism, but closet-racism and racist guilt from people that are afraid of being seen as racists evem though they naturally have a little in them! Politically correct piece of shit country doesn't see that different ethnicities respect an adversary more for being open about it than someone that has pet hates and only brings them out when their backs are turned. The greatest alliances in history were all born out of bitter rivalry. Bill Burr mentioned in a podcast once, that one guy who starts a conversation with "NOW, I'M NO RACIST, BUT..." Yeah, he's racist! The human race is racist. What a strange oxymoron, but it's true. We have millenniae of conquering and invading each other and enslaving each other and forcing each other to learn Latin, English, Christianity, the spirit of Christmas giving, Knitting and (even worse) pop song lyrics in foreign languages. On top of that, Patriotism is racism, Capitalism is racism, Culture and Heritage are racism. If you can live happily without any of those, fuck off, you liar!!! lol So, you know, just laugh it off, we're despicable creatures, we're all going to be destroyed in about fifty years anyway and the monkeys and the dolphins won't have learned a thing from this experience, if they survive!

There's a difference between being racist and having a bit of observational humour. I'm regularly mocked for my Bolton accent (which is a world away from racism I understand) but that's because my accent is different to all the Scousers I work with. My Indian friend and I regularly joke about her Mum trying to marry her off to a good Indian boy. I've been to a concert with a Black friend who joked about smiling so I could see her in the dark. It's all just a bit of fun taken as that...sometimes people get overly sensitive or worry too much about causing offence when it's just banter. | |||

"As a kid I used to love watching Love Thy Neighbour. You won't see it on TV any more for obvious reasons. However, what a lot of people didn't (and still probably don't) realise was that while Eddie Booth (Jack Smethurst) was always hurling racist abuse at Bill Reynolds (Rudolph Walker), the series was made to show that racism really is uncool, as Eddie Booth always got his come-uppance, or was made to look stupid, at the end of each episode. I still believe that the series (quite rightly) poked fun at racists, rather than those of other races." | |||
