  • So I said, you know what?
  • I wanna do some, I wanna do black shit.
  • I need to make sure I'm legit.
  • You know what I'm saying?
  • And they said, well, you need to go see Bernie Mac.
  • And I was at this little poetry reciter.
  • I said, I said, Bernie, man, who's that?
  • He said, he's on the South side.
  • You can go to his night on Mondays.
  • He has a band and shit.
  • You go Jimmy Carwash Spinks.

  • I said, well, that's what I think is the best about comedy is being yourself and being true to yourself.
  • Right.

  • Can I see that?
  • And I ask him, and it's funny that you say that.

  • So when you're in front of a black audience, you do comedy one way.
  • But if you're in front of a mainly white audience, do you change?
  • No.

  • You tell the same jokes.
  • Man.
  • With black audiences, because I travel around the country.

  • We need to stop that shit.
  • I go, nah, let me tell you about you guys.

  • It depends on how you navigate the joke, you know?
  • I never change.
  • Black people just make you more loose.
  • Right.
  • You know what I'm saying?
  • Because you're in front of your people, you know?
  • They're in front of your people, but yeah.
  • But you got to be funny, because they're going to let you know if you're not funny.
  • Oh, no, no, no.
  • Funny is funny.

  • It depends on the person.
  • Funny is funny.
  • I don't give a fuck what you're doing, juggling, whatever.
  • Right.
  • Funny is funny.
  • So I never change my shit.
  • And one thing I know about black audiences,
  • They like it if you keepin' it real, you from Louisville, but they like it when you talkin' about that pro black shit, too.
  • They like both of that, because whenever I'm talkin' about it, you hear people like, preach, dog!
  • That's what I'm talkin' about!
  • Hell yeah!
  • You see what I'm sayin'?
  • So I got, so I'm able to craft that because I really, I am a student of the game.
  • I'm a student of comedy.
  • I don't, I really study the people that have been before me.
  • I am white, black, I know my comedy history.
  • You know what I'm saying?
  • So that's very important.
  • And I like to be intelligent on stage.
  • I like, I'm the kind of comic that doesn't use the N word.
  • Because we had a debate about that.
  • Okay.
  • You know, about there's comics I see, you know, that it'll be a majority audience that don't look like us.
  • Right.
  • And they'll use that word over and over.
  • And I go, are these people laughing because the joke is funny?
  • Or are they laughing because nigger is funny, right?
  • Because nigger is let's be for real.
  • phonetically, it's a great it's a funny word.

  • Hilarious.
  • Right.
  • Here come this bald head ass brother.
  • You see what I'm saying?
  • Yeah.
  • It's a little, it's a little, it's a little spice on that, right?
  • Right.
  • And I, and I, and I had, we had a debate about that.
  • I said, well, why do you use the word?
  • Why do you use that word in front of people when you're really not like that?
  • I understand cats that are like that, like Cat Williams, when he does it, it, it, it matches.
  • You talk like that all the time.
  • Yeah, it's certain people that you go, yeah, I get that.
  • But there's some other cats that I go, yo, you're not even like that.
  • But when you get in front of a certain audience, you use it in front of them.
  • I don't know if it's irresponsible.
  • Listen, I'm not telling anybody how to do comedy, but I just feel weird doing it.
  • I don't even use it in front of black audiences.
  • Okay.
  • Yeah.
  • But for me, this is my style.
  • This is my style.
  • But when I do use the word, the N word, I'm making a point about the N word.
  • Okay.
  • Because I have a joke about the double G words.
  • Right.
  • You know what I mean?
  • Double G word, something about the double G word.
  • Like you got the N word, you got the F word, two Gs.
  • Yeah.
  • And if you know Harry Potter,
  • You ever know about Harry Potter?
  • I'm a Harry Potter fan.
  • Where there's a muggle, they call him a muggle.
  • That means he's a half prince, he's some bullshit.
  • So they call him, they say, you're a muggle, Harry Potter.
  • And it's almost like saying... When you're watching Harry Potter, you're like, is he talking to me?
  • Oh, Harry Potter's a muggle.
  • Can you believe that?
  • You're a muggle, Harry Potter.
  • And I'm like, is he calling me a nigger?
  • So I talk about the phonetic, I'm into words, because I'm a big George Carlin fan, big Carlin fan, big Pryor fan, and it's all wordplay for me.
  • I'm really into the art form of this shit.
  • So yeah, the N word thing is, you know.
  • That's just for me.
  • I'm not telling anybody how to do comedy.
  • I don't want anybody to conflate this shit, but that's, I'm very, I just want to know why people use it.
  • Someone told me, well, I don't want them to, I don't, I want it.
  • I feel comfortable saying it because I'm not going to let them determine.
  • You know how I say the word i'm not i'm taking the word back.
  • I said that was never your word, right?
  • What do you mean you taking it back?
  • They gave it to you, right?
  • You don't say so if i'm it desensitizes the word really So when they call you the name Out of out of vitriol then you react to it you get mad.
  • So, how is it?
  • desensitizing you.
  • I'm just saying, if someone calls your name, you shouldn't even flinch.
  • You go, I say it so much, it doesn't even bother me, but it still stings.
  • That's all.
  • It's just a debate we're still having with the N word.
