    damn bernie was the funniest person ever. ive never laughed so hard until i saw him in any movie. his mere presence on television made me chuckle because i was thinking of what he was going to say. i remember seeing him on the uptown comedy club on tv as a small child and laughing because he was so funny.


    its sad that he wont be appreciated til now and same with heath ledger but we know how this country is on race.

    anyone on this thread saying negative things about blacks needs to get a life. a very entertaining and caring human being that died after 30 years of making us laugh should be remembered for all time. not made fun of and have every stereotype about black people thrown at him. actually, shouldnt he be banned for that?

    i could also start saying things about other races,but that'd be me hating parts of my family and im not about hate.

    bravo ace, bravo. exactly dead on. this guy wasn't some idiotic politician who had tried to ruin countless lives nor was he some shyster evangelist driving god's rolls royce. he was a comedian who spent his life trying to make people laugh and trying to bring some joy to people.

    my stance as a white guy?


    racism is for backwards ****ing cavemen, just like slapping a woman's arse in the workplace as a term of endearment or using terms like "negress" or "chinky"

    Agree with Ace. Very well said and something that we should all think about.

    Your stance (as a white guy) sucks. It's easy for you to condemn racism and what not while you live on a North Atlantic rock with a 98% homogenous population. I'm American, and it isn't that easy for us. We're the ones that have to stew in this gigantic clusterf*ck you Europeans call a melting pot. So spare me the Kumbaya crap. I know the Olympics are going on and Canadians and Europeans are busy jacking each other off, dreaming about unity and peace on earth, and all that other nonsense. But unfortunately, I don't subscribe to that crap. In my thirty-two years of life, i've been able to draw one conclusion. Most minority groups excel at one thing and one thing only - Lowering property value. One of my aunts, for example, lives in Northeast Kansas City, MO. A couple of decades ago, the neighborhood was beautiful. Her house is only a couple blocks away from Columbus park (which oddly enough is still pretty nice), and it used to be a thriving, well kept neighborhood with low crime. Well, the Italians and Irish moved out (for the most part) and the mexicans moved in in droves. Now it's a huge, frothing cesspool. You can span the country and see this in every city and town you come across. Racism isn't about ignorance. It's about real life experiences with others different than yourself and the impressions you walk away with. Most of the time, the impressions are negative. This is THE REAL REASON why race is still an issue in America. Because the white people here (well, atleast the ones that haven't been castrated by neo-liberal bullcrap) refuse to kiss dark-skinned ass just for diversity's sake.

    The bottom line is, if you want to talk about race and racism, i'll talk about it with you candidly. But know one thing, this white man won't let the conversation turn into a one-sided pissing party. And that's what usually happens anymore. The topic of race and racism usually ends up as nothing more than a "hate whitey!" or "blame whitey!" summation. I for one think that's bull****.

    And besides, i'm not hating on Bernie because he is black. I'm hating on Bernie because he sucks. He's almost as unfunny as Whoopie Goldberg.

    Just because you use the term "n|gger rig" doesn't mean you're a racist. I use it from time to time myself. I also "jew" with people when doing business.

    The most racist thing I ever heard in my life came from a black woman I work with. She is married to a white guy and her children are bi-racial. Well, the subject of dancing came up in conversation and she mentioned how good she was at dancing but how bad at it her children were. Furthermore, she blamed her white husband for it. Well, everyone else just sat there and laughed. I thought to myself if a white person would have asked her if her children could dance really well because they were half black, said white person would have been raked over the coals and maybe even fired over that comment.

    The most racist people in MODERN America are pissed off black folks and La Raza, reconquista Meskins. The only reason why society lets them slide on their blatant hatred is because if push came to shove, whites could easily put them back in their place. Back in the olden days, the root causes of racism were ignorance and white supremacist ideals. Modern racism is more reactionary. It's a response to the way a certain ethnic group behaves. That's why you see racism shifting away from rural and southern areas and more and more into urban areas. Boston, New York & Los Angeles are probably the three most racist cities in today's America. And I know for a fact, Los Angeles is the most segregated city in the world. It makes apartheid-era South Africa look like a Green Party convention. The blacks stay in Compton and Carson. The Latinos stay in East L.A. and El Segundo. The whites in Torrence, etc.. Modern racism is more about cause and response than it is ignorance. Once minorities realize this, they'll be able to cohabitate more peacefully with the white majority.

    We shouldn't walk on eggshells for anyone, especially some dead black comedian that would still be alive today if he would have taken better care of himself. Anytime you die from complications of pneumonia, it means you have a weak immune system. Smoking, poor diet, lack of excersize can lead to that. As I said before, he should have laid off the cigars, the hot wings and the St. Ives.

    Surely it must have been connected to the sarcoidosis he had suffered from for many years, which surely had affected his lungs?

    On a side note, you got to love it when somebody, who is basically a nobody, takes such cheap shots at someone who has actually achieved so much more than they ever will... How very classy!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Just like Tim Russert another lump you Dummies worship.
    I would step on their hand as they reached for their Nitroglycerine pills strewn all over the floor while they stroked out.
    Who dies from pneumonia in the summer but an abuser?
    Don't cry they'll give one of his 15 offspring a job.

    Bernie Mac suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs. When your lungs are comprimised by disease they are more susceptible to infection.

    Wow, you really are quite a spiteful piece of crap aren't you?

    Sorry, you said I shouldn't walk on eggshells, well I'm not, you suck. Go start a thread about this somewhere else rather than sticking your oar in a discussion primarily for people who appreciated his work.

    And I'd like to know which part of the UK is 98% homogenous...****ing hell, you talk about racism not being part and parcel with ignorance nowdays, but demonstrate your own sense of ignorance within the first line of your post.

    Idiot.
