    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.

    that really sucks.

    he was an incredibly funny dude, in my opinion one of the best stand up comedians of the last 20 years or so. he'll be missed for sure.

    Next to Cedric the Entertainer and Sinbad, he was the third unfunniest black comedian in the world.

    And 50ish is about right for a black man in the U.S.. They have the shortest life expectancy of any demographic in the country. Lay off the fried chicken and St. Ives, fellas! You'll live longer!

    Without touching on the stereotypes that you mention in your post, I think that it would be nice to show a little more respect for someone that has died.

    Personally, I liked Bernie Mac and am very sorry to hear that he passed.

    This coming from a burnout who sits on his ass all day, smoking out while your wife supports you.
