Who Was That Black Comedian?

Hey! Who was that black comedian named Reggie that was over there from the states and has his own website?

Sorry C.J. can't help you there, but I'm sure other forumites might be of assistance, but my favourite comedian of the moment is Chris Rock.
The concert that is out on video where he's "dissing" other members of the African-American community is genius.
As good as Bill Hicks, the look on the audience's face is priceless, as though to say, "Did he really say that?"

That's alright. I do know his name is Reginald something I think. People were talking about him around the time Richard Pryor passed.

"......members of the African-American community........."

Have we become so diseased with "political correctness" that we are reduced to talking like this?

You think we`re bad with political correctness??? The past week the worlds biggest liars and conmen, Revs Al "Twana Brawly " Sharpton and Jesse "New York is Hymietown" Jackson have pressured MSNBC abd CBS into dropping 70 yr old radio shock jock Don Imus for calling a black female basket ball team "Nappy headed ho`s" in much the same way a young child swears, not knowing the words offensive.
And you know whats scary? It`ll come over to these shores, so watch what you say even jokingly

What Up Steve! If you don't know, I'm black and hit the 40 yr old mark last year and when I look back in history a little we as blacks over int he states always said stuff like this amongst ourselves. I personally was brought up not to cuss to which I don't do to this very day. When we were children at 10 to 14yrs old I heard the word "nigger" called amongst us more times than Richard Pryor used it. HE was only doing a comedy skit based on how we talk in the neighborhood. I'm glad he had enough since to go to Africa and stop using the word. But every since Eddie Murphy hit it big with "Raw" it seemed like EVERYBODY started cussing up a storm. Believe me I don't agree with cussing or calling people names to anybody. I once heard that if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all.
