A White Guy Who Can Joke About Race—Successfully
Bill Burr



There are a couple more videos out there centered on Black/White and they’re hilarious too. In fact there are videos of black men and women watching them and laughing their asses off. If only…

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, I’m tired of anything and everything that has to do with race. Funny or serious, I’m up to here with it.

I apologize TMats, it’s just me.

His wife is black, which makes it hard to claim he is a hardcore racist.

recoatlift, I believe you’re missing the point. You are only fed up with everything racial because everybody IS so sensitive now. This routine is the very opposite of that in that it finds humor in race relations. It is funny.

Yesterday I was watching Sandford & Son. Redd Fox was making jokes about whites and blacks, and it was FUNNY! It’s nice to see that a contemporary comedian can have a bit in that spirit. This is a push back against the race baiters.

Having watched the video, I thinking it was less about race than, as a husband making the stupid mistake of not knowing to pour oneself a big cup of STFU and sit quietly. Not only that, he went into the whole luge comment and driving right on and compound a dumb mistake with a really stupid one. Those of us who may have seen something like that happen (not that *we* would ever make those mistakes. Big Grin) have trouble not laughing our asses off without even thinking about the race issues. I think it is part off the human condition to stupidly piss off the spouse occasionally, and seeing someone else take it to a whole new level of stupidity just has to make one laugh, race or color aside.

You caught me! I admit it: I didn’t watch the clip before I posted. I’ve watched that whole special, and I thought I knew which bit it was by the thumbnail…but I was wrong!

Bill Burr’s Harlem set is hilarious.

I love Burr but letting the wife's sniffing and snorting put him on his heels is not the Bill Burr of old.

I reject that because I’m white, I’m incapable of understanding what is racist.
