Web Hosting Talk : Other Forums : Web Hosting Lounge : The white kings of Comedy?

[ub3r]

We've all seen the original "kings of comedy", which features black male comics. After that, they made "The queens of comedy" which features comics who are black women, After that they made "the latin kings of comedy" which features latin male comics.

I'm wondering if they'll ever make the white kings of comedy.

It was a big mistake.

Excluding white people seems more racist.

Ah mikey... always causing trouble

I agree with Tri... although I can't fully explain my thoughts I would agree that it would be viewed as a racist "thing".

Actually, I think the easist way to put it is to think back to when you were a little kid.

Me: "Mom... how come you have mothers day... when's kids day?"

Mom: "Kids day is everyday"

Although it's a completely different subject I do feel it explains my view.

Yea but the minorities don't look at it that way in this country... Look at the rest of things

Magazines:
Black Men
Ebony
Jet
Black Enterprise
American Legacy
Essence
About Time


BET (Black Entertainment) (TV)
BSU - A Black ONLY scholorship fund
Need I mention Black History Month I could only imagine if we made a white one, the uproar that would cause..

There are really to many to list but the list goes on and on, there are certain blacks out there that still to this day feel that they are surpressed, and feel the need to make things like this, and blatenly get away with it, because heaven forbid the government step in and say what they are doing is racist, we will just have another bunch of people saying that we are once again trying to surpress them...

I am now tempted to start an online magazine called "The White Man" or something of that nature..

Either that or just start pulling the top whatever off other websites, exclude all the black people/businesses and bump the rest up a bit.. What kind of feedback do you think I would get there..

In the Philippines, we have a similar situation here, specifically on the southern part of the Philippines. Muslims have Muslim Holiday, and almost every establishment especially the government-owned have no work or no school day. Then some Christians complained why there are a lot of "Muslim Holiday" and we have no "Christian Holiday." Well these complaining christians have forgotten that "Christmas" is a christian holiday, and so are All Souls Day, Holy Week, including the Feast Day in honor of their so-called saints.

The christians im talking about here are the catholic christians.

They already have it but it's called "Blue Collar" comedy.

If 'Blue Collar' are the 'Kings' of white comedy then I'm glad we don't have that one officially named.

Blue Collar is the working class, not the masters, such as (George) Carlin or (Robin) Williams. Now we need the White Collar Comedy Tour.

Though, IMHO, Rodney Carrington should have been on the BCCT as well.

I've always wondered why blacks can have BET, but if whites were to start WET (hehe) it'd be sued in a matter of minutes.

You forgot "supposedly"

How can it be racist to have a white comedy tour or white kings of comedy but it's perfectly fine for a black or latino comedy king? That's just Political Correctness BS and I, as a proud white man, am getting sick and tired of the "be ashamed that you're not a minority or a woman or a homosexual" idealogy that seems to be pervading our world lately.

Yes I'm white and I'm proud, but you say that and you're called a Nazi or a Klan member. I'm proud of my European heritage, my norse blood, irish blood, a little scottish, mostly German, and ALMOST enough American Indian blood to be allowed to call myself a native American, but not quite enough (so I qualify for no perks associated with being a native American). I refuse to be ashamed of being white. I also refuse to be ashamed of being a man either, while I'm pissing off the "minorities" may as well thumb my nose at all the feminists out there.

I am an unapologetic heterosexual southern redneck, truck driving, meat eating, beer drinking, WHITE AMERICAN MAN. Hate me for it if you feel you have to, seems like half the world already does and they ain't even met me
