stegasaurus Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) I'm glad that wonderfull comedian graced us with his presence. Too bad I wasnt that clever or funny..................... OK, sorry if anyone took offense to my so-called "blatant racism" that was edited by a mod, I was just following in Pryors own footsteps. Racism was part of his routine, and to quote him "I decided to make it my own, Nigger. I decided to take the sting out of it. Nigger. As if saying it over and over again would numb me and everybody else to its wretchedness." I'm a huge fan of him and his comedy style. He was brutal, and my post was a tribute to that. Sorry if anyone took it the wrong way. Maybe I expected too much.

Pat Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Fair play 2 ya mate just have to consider all & sundrie. Whilst yes Prior was a pioneer in regards to Afro American's being able to laff @ them selves & did refer to himself & his own as N's & all sorts. Can see where you were coming from...However, Cultural literacy & not on the ball types (yes inc Pat) could easily have read negatively & missed the boat regarding your tribute. However, we Have to consider all & remember is a public forum & web space. no offence taken my end..fair play 2 ya.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
