Gould,
Have you ever listened to Richard Pryor, Cedric the Entertainer, Bill Cosby,
Bill Murray, Freddy Prince, Chris Rock and the list goes on and on. Every
single one of these comedians have used stereotypes in their humor. I don't
think of any of the them as racists. Do you? Do you find racist everywhere
you look?

Comedy can be a very effective tool when addressing serious issues. I
wonder why Gould and Harry have failed to hear Ebonics on TV, in
movies, on
hip hop and videos and in the real world. Is it possible that they are
the
racist?

There is a difference between hearing it, and holding it up to ridicule
as the punch line for a joke.

Telling jokes that rely on racial stereotypes to be funny is racist-
just as using racial stereotypes for any other purpose is racist.
