Racist Statements or Comedy

[D1gger]

There is a front page story in our paper today about a student making a speech trying to be elected class valedictorian. Some think he deserves to be punished and some believe it was simply good comedy?

What do you think?

Anyone who is offended by that needs to take a chill pill.

While not everybody likes this type of humor, that's exactly what it is... humor. People are way too uptight this kind of stuff. There's blatant racism, and then there's trying to be funny.

Meh...I couldn't stand to listen to it all, but I didn't hear anything over the top.

Besides, who says racists can't be comedians anyway?

It's worked for <insert the name of your favorite minority comic> for quite a while...

Is he trying to do a Dane Cook impression? Because even if you succeed at that, you still fail.

who cares, uptight idiots need to worry about something else.

He's actually pretty funny. And he's just stating the truth...the valedictorian speech is the most stupid speech at graduation.

 

[TwiceOver]

90% better than all TV standup comedy including all late show hosts.

I didn't hear anything offensive. If people want to hear offensive they should see the above mentioned standup/late show comedians.

I lost interest after 10 secs.

I can see where some may bothered by his comments, but not to the point of punishing him....

I think he's been punished enough with his Dragon Ball Z haircut.....

I didn't hear anything bad in his speech, then I read the article. Are they freakin' serious?!

 

[sandorski]

That was funny. No Racism found.

It's Canada.

If you find that racist, you can find anything racist.

 

[Throwmeabone]

That was hilarious

Brandon admits he crossed the line when he mentioned the physical attributes of a former teacher at the school. "I apologize for that."

That was the best part! Hahaha

Why are they voting for valedictorian though?

 

[Miramonti]

Great speech. If that's racist, I'm boycotting all skin tones.

 

[mugs]

I need to see this rack he refers to.

I was wondering that myself...

 

[shocksyde]

The Dane Cook bashers will come out at any opportune time. I love it.

 

[Cuda1447]

No way thats racist, but it is FUCKING HILLARIOUS. That guys got some balls too. Not to mention it was well presented. Great voice/delivery.

Sounds a hell of a lot like Dane Cook. Not the best speech ever, but it was still pretty good. No racism detected.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Not funny or racist. Add a third option plz.

 

[manlymatt83]

I think that was awesome. It was funny, not racist, and people are over-reacting.
