Upvote for the controversy. "When I draw money out the ATM I don't look for media, I look the niggazs." I feel it is some truth, but more something that has to do with poverty than skin chromatization.

So... is this controversial to everyone, just the black people or just for the white people?
I'm a white Canadian, skin colour means nothing to me, we are every colour. I see more racism from the people immigrating into Canada than I see from the ones raised here. I just don't get it.

I believe in good people and bad people, regardless of skin.
I know it is different everywhere, especially in the US.
The media tells me it gets worse as you go south but I have no first hand info.

What I see from this video is Chris labeling the "Thugs / Punks" as niggers and that the rest of the upstanding folks as black people. I suppose that it is the fact that he is using the word "nigger" that's controversial.

It isn't a word in my vocabulary, but what I've noticed is:
If you are white, the word in unacceptable.
If you are black, the word is not used in "polite society"
If you are black and from the street, you brand yourself with the word and are proud of it. (again - from the media - not first hand)

I don't know, I don't really use derogatory swear words but I would count this one up there with f**k, Sh*t and such. I know if I ever heard it from any one of my friends, I would be offended and I'm not black.

So for Chris to call out the people with low morals and intellect, and who are proud of it and label them as niggers, to me is the same as calling them scum of the earth thugs. (in this example).

I hope I'm not opening a can of worms here, I just don't care for racism in any form. I also don't care for vulgar profanity in public, especially when kids are around. It has become acceptable for comedians to use bad language for effect and I'm sure Richard Prior was among the first. Bill Cosby on the other hand voiced his opinion against it as unnecessary in order to be funny.

So... whatever, as Chris said, don't be dumb and proud of it. Don't use racism as a crutch (regardless, whether you are white or one of the many colours).
Note as an example, the Wayne Brothers. Poor as dirt growing up and maintained their self respect. (as many others and as I did).

Holly Crap, that was long.... Sorry!

They left out "fee fi fo figga, boy i hate a nigga!" most hilarious capline ever.

I think there is a certain type of white person whose life is tremedously enriched by hearing this message.

Upvote for Michael Scott.
This is the routine he does in season one (episode two or three, can't remember) and gets in trouble for it.

I was so uncomfortable watching this, even as I laughed. Grateful that the audience was full of black people. This would NOT have been funny if the audience was white. Budzos has it right, I think.

It's at 4:12, just before the Welfare Carols.

Sometimes Chris Rock tries too hard (Welfare Carols for instance).

But overall the skit was hilarious. I am not black, but I didn't care and didn't feel uncomfortable because Chris Rock wasn't just talking about black niggaz. I see niggaz of all colours all the time - it's not the skin colour that's important it's the celebration of ignorance.

I see people in my tiny hometown, population 2,500 in Arctic Canada acting the same way as black niggaz (we call them snow niggaz). If I was there I would be laughing away, and anyone in the black audience who got mad at me would be missing the point entirely.
