For the sake of thread levity, I'll not even discuss why.

Please don't. I don't need a reason why a comedian feels the need to not be funny. And the networks can't figure out why their ratings are down and in a few years late night talk shows will be history.

If you're making a comparison, the comparison should be valid. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with good discourse.

I should've worded that a little differently. My point was is a racist term not a racist term. Shouldn't all of them be unacceptable from either side.

But better than plenty.

I mean, it's pretty much the same ten drivers every year that *don't* suck. I don't think that justifies the sexism, if that's what you're implying.

She always qualified well and had fast cars. She could start 3rd and finish 30th without crashing, I'm sorry but she sucked.

I don't think anyone would have a problem with those. Have you watched any of the Judd Apatow movies?

Ah, wait. You made a plane pun.

Ha, both a pun and a point.

When I say they wouldn't fly today...I mean basically literally today. You could get away with them probably up until a few years ago. There have just been too many public cases of that kind of stuff in recent years.

Cable TV's fading away, old man.

We'll revisit this in a couple of months when new movies start coming out. I'm curious.

I don't know how old VolStrom is, but in 5 years I'll be surprised if cable as we know it still exists. I insisted on running an ethernet cord from my modem to my TV for a long time, but the new TVs and computers don't have a place for those. I had to replace a TV, which meant I had to go wireless, and I hate it. This one TV that I watch most of the time is the only one that uses a cable box. I don't use my phone as a computer either, but everybody else in the house does. I'm old, too, I guess.

So the next time a black person is accused of a crime against a white person I want the same "wait on hard evidence" energy.

We have a ton of false allegations against black people for crimes. We should always wait on hard evidence including video whenever a white person accuses a black person.

Correct, we should always wait for the facts to come out in the absence of video evidence. Why would you automatically jump in the other direction?

Yeah I know about streaming, but they still know how many people watch even when it's later streamed. If these shows were watchable people would watch them, that's the problem.

I was not aware that "Blacks" oppressed generations of people. I was not aware that "Blacks" wore African clothing to terrorize people. I know that Africans wear clothing that is traditional to the country in Africa that they are from. You know "Blacks" were stolen from their countries, and families were torn apart. You have every right to celebrate your southern heritage, whatever that may be.

They weren't stolen. They were gathered up by other blacks, and sold for trade goods and seashells.

Funny thing..a lot of the "black heritage" clothing comes from designs okayed by "royal families" who created their wealth because they sold blacks into slavery.

From what I hear the renting of new movies at $19.99 during the Coronavirus stay at home rea was a huge success.

Damn, you mean I could have watched a movie for $20 instead of watching something for free that I didn't watch at the movie theater either?

He has not done standup since 1987. He site that you linked highlighted this fact.

Here is a profile for you. Not even trying to convince you . This is just funny.

Eddie Murphy Is Bringing Eddie Murphy Back

"What they saw was something that has been sorely missing from popular culture for more than three decades: Eddie Murphy, one of the funniest people to ever tell jokes into a microphone, doing stand-up. Over the years, Murphy has teased fans with talk of a comeback, but this time, inspired by “Dolemite,” he appears to mean it. He signed a deal with Netflix to put out a new special next year, and has a theater tour lined up, which means he could be in clubs working out jokes soon. "

He would not be returning to it if he was actively participating already. Dude just admit defeat. You are out of touch.

Why don't you complain about Red Foxx next. lmao

Congrats on the semantics of his tour having to be delayed. Eddie Murphy does stand-up.
But continue to focus on him when many other comedians use racism as humor and no one thinks they are racist.

Used to need ethernet cords to max your speed. Modern wifi is just as fast as having a hard wired line. 5G cellular wireless is going to be like having 1000 mbs fiber internet, but no cables. That's gonna be great.

Most cable providers have an app you can download to watch tv, no box required.

Yeah, ours does. We've been with Spectrum (was Charter) for a very long time. Everybody else in the house uses the app. I just hate it. HA

NASCAR: Bubba Wallace to get show of support from drivers after noose found in his garage - CNN

NASCAR drivers are planning a show of support for Bubba Wallace on Monday at the Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama a day after a noose was found in his garage.
A NASCAR driver told CNN that drivers are planning to push Wallace's No. 43 car to the front of the grid all together and then stand around his car for the National Anthem. Further details are still being worked out, the driver said.
The race is set to begin at 3 p.m. ET in Lincoln, Alabama, after rain Sunday delayed the event by a day.

Has anyone seen this alleged noose? And I don't watch nascar but I don't think they are letting fans in so if this happened it would likely been media or someone from a different team?

Will do standup again at some point. Has not done stand up in 30 plus years. Not semantics. A huge freaking difference.

You were wrong. Take the L and move on.
