Yeah, they were expecting him to play the political correctness game and they clearly don't know how Patrice works. The guy will make people that heckle him cry, and he's walked entire crowds with his offensive material, too. He just doesn't give a shit, doesn't make exuses, and doesn't apologize.
I've seen Patrice be wrong a lot, but I've never seen him lose a debate once, because he knows how to completely throw people through a loop like that.
just because you have thought or deny thinking the n word does not make you racist. a song comes on the radio and you sing the lyrics in your head and they contain the word for example
the word/thought doesnt make the feeling, its the intent behind it

if patrice was only trying to disarm, he did a great job of that. aside from that fact his attitude itself (assuming every white person thinks the n word as a negative) to me is considered racism against white people. the door swings both ways and he was definitely showing it with his presentation. either that or he is a great troll
Suli on the other hand got the point and even tried to call out patrice for being short sighted.
i may be missing the the trolling part if that was the MO, but from someone viewing the clip without the background of the guest, he sure came off terribly wrong
To me the reaction those anchors gave him is kind of like opening a door all the time for black people. It's being nice to a black guy and giving him special treatment because he's black. Oh you're black so I'm going to treat you different than any white or hispanic guy. That's racist. If you're holding a door open for someone you're doing it because you're a polite person. If I'm rude and don't want to hold open a door I'm going to do it to anybody. That's how I approach it and approach it unapologetically.Quote:

For non-BET comedians, I always loved George Wallace myself. Very balanced yet witty "angry old man" shtick. He's like if Bill Cosby was crankier and stayed funny.Quote:

Fucking right. Look at what g0zen did to me. Apparently because of my comments, I came straight from Stormfront.org.Quote:

I know there's a reason for it (sensitivity) but every black guy who I've had this conversation with in real life has told me they appreciate my candidness and that they get irritated by the falseness of people who step on eggshells around them. I don't expect my mom or dad to understand that because their generation bred the entire progressive thinking attitude and don't seem to quite "get" it, but try (and that's something).Quote:

But the situation here is that you're practically pardoning the K-Man for saying that shit. Those guys deserved to get lambasted because they were shitty ass hecklers. Not because they were black shitty ass hecklers and that's the difference. The upside down with a fork up your ass comment was way out of left field, even for an insult comic.Quote:

I think a black guy can better help a black guy because by nature birds of a feather stick together. When that mentallity means that a white guy can't get help when he needs it from a black doctor or vice versa is the issue. We're all the same on the inside anyway, so it really shouldn't be that big an issue.Quote:
