spiccoli 0 #57 June 20, 2007 ***the oil and gas is offshore bro, not in the city??? Quote well, the water was to untill it decided to move into the city and flood it. ok, heres the diagnostic- there were so many black people in new orleans floating around, that from the air it looked like an oil spill. others, technicaly, its not racist since its only an observation based on the color contrast. however its easy to see how some could take it as racist, since anything that refers to somone's state of being black, other than african american is considered racist. in the end, its all up to the audience if it is or not, and since i dont have the experience to guage audiences, ill probably exclude it. looks like the nose blow one is a no go as well. good to find these things out online and not on stage. thanks for all the feedback everyone.we need to talk about your flare..

Pretty much the whole southern half of the state had nearly every single home damaged or destroyed with no power, water or gas for a month at least. The media choose to concentrate on New Orleans, but the storm didn't directly damage New Orleans. It broke the levee and flooded about 1/3 of the city but they got off easy compared to south Mississippi. There were entire towns in S.M. that are were non-existent for over a year. Both New Orleans and south Mississippi were a tragedy, but it's unfortunate that the media concentrated their efforts where it did. And the looters were both black, white, mexican and sometimes...local police. I honestly don't blame people that looted food and supplies in those days. That was survival and I only stopped those with T.V.s and clothes ect. I'm with the highway patrol here and I fired warning shots at just about every color I could think of.. always afraid they were going to fire back.

That joke brilliantly plays on one of the many hypocrisies in our culture as well as playing on the paranoid idea among some minorities that whites have some sort of conspiracy going on. Is the joke necessary? Not any more or less than any other joke. Is the use of the "n word" necessary in that joke? Absolutely. Oh, and speaking of hypocrisy. Imagine Chris Rock telling that joke. Now imagine a white comedian telling that joke. Even with the exact same audience I'm sure the reaction would be quite different. Regardless of who tells it, I think it's a brilliant joke because it exposes an ugly part of our culture (and probably many other cultures) but does so in an incredibly clever way. Stick with the "safe" humor if you want, but I'll listen to all flavors.
