47828, to me the race stuff is just shock value humor

but instead of other comics gimmicks, she's not shocking with cuss words, she's not screaming at her audience, and she's not beating you over the head saying with how shocking she is by reminding you that she's being shocking.

i think she's comparable to Andrew Dice Clay in that she slips into this caricature of this horribly inept ditz with these outraeously offensive ideas. i also think that she, like ADC, is good at it because she's a better comic actress than a stand-up.

if you say you "get it" and yet you still find her to be racist then what i hear you saying is, "I know she's not really racist...but I still think she's racist because she's pretending to be.".
