wish there was as much outrage in the press and public about comedians on Def Comedy Jam. I've watched a little of this on HBO late at night, and without exception, black comedians toss around the "N-word" about as much as the word "the", and it's "OK". About the only people I've ever heard express outrage publicly are comedians like Bill Cosby. If that word is taboo, it should be taboo for everyone. Enough with double standards. Having said that though, he did go off the deep end, a simple and polite "F-you mother fxxxxxxx!!" would have sufficed. Another Mel Gibson/John Kerry moment...



I'm sure most people have heard this argument before. "If they can say it, why can't we?". This is probably the best way it was explained to me when I was younger: Let's say you call your friend a fu**in' a**hole - he probably won't get mad. Guys just talkin' sh*t to each other, right? Now if you were out with your friend, and some random stranger called him a fu**in' a**hole, do you think he's going to have the same reaction?
