38. "It goes alot farther than that though."
In response to In response to 16


          

Like this quote:

"The reason I get along with black dudes better … is because they’re heartbroken and I’m heartbroken. My family broke my heart and America broke black people’s heart.

There were things I may not have gotten from my family experience that may also have been missing from a lot of black dudes I’m friends with."

This dude is saying he can relate to black people because he comes from a dysfunctional family? I'm not sure if I'd call it racist...perhaps? But regardless...that is just such a fucked up and stupid thing to say.

He says some truly jaw-dropping shit:

" I think saying a white person can’t write black characters is as racist as anything on earth. And it’s also insulting to black people. It’s like, “So, are you not human?” Because I can write about humans. A white person writing about black people is writing about humanity with a slight vernacular spin."

Someone should make a cohesive list of these comments lol:

"People almost never hear white people and black people talking for more than like two minutes. And white people are still sort of baffled by the fact that I have a lot of black friends. Look, I get a lot of access; I hear things that most people don’t get, from hanging out with black guys."

"There are certain lines that I’ll cross in my stand-up and I’ll get a laugh that’s kind of an “eh, that’s fucked up” laugh. And then I just stop saying it. I think when I do these kinds of jokes, though, it’s about pedigree and proximity. I’m squarely with black people. I’m not making fun of their plight. I’m kinda in it with them."

lol 'I'm kinda in it with them'? Seriously?

I'm not usually a gotchya you are a racist type person. But this guy actually warrants the scrutiny:

"The irony of what happened between us, though, is everyone saw it as this racial thing, but it wasn’t. What happened was post-racial. I wasn’t arguing with your black hero, I was arguing with my fucking friend of 15 years. We were arguing about racial comedy, but ultimately, I was arguing with my pain-in-the-ass friend. The way you have a television relationship with him, I have an actual relationship with him. Oprah and Dave made it into this racial thing, and I didn’t see it that way. We were arguing about racial comedy, but we were arguing about a lot of shit.

And there are some people who act like you can’t disagree with a black person. It’s like, “No, I do fucking disagree with him.” I was judging him for the content of his character! I was living Dr. King’s dream!"
