Racist Comedy

Reading that crazy-ass Chappelle story reminded me of an obscure comedian I saw on BET about 6-8 years ago.One of his funnier routines was about how his dad wouldn't let him watch sports because they were all racist. Baseball, Basketball, Football.....all racist!! Even things like Billards weren't allowed on the family TV because "The white ball pushes around all the colored balls and the black ball is the last one allowed in the hole"Then one day he discovered a sport that he was sure his Dad would be a big fan of.....Bowling."The big black ball gets to knock over the white pins with the red necks"!!I figured this guy would become a big name comedian as all of his routines had me laughing my ass off....but I never saw him again and I don't remember his name.Anyone out there know who this comedian is??

Nah...I don't remember him wearing a watch.
joke not about this one. He's put dough in the pockets of more than a smattering of strutters.....
care to elaborate?
regardless dude's a fucking hack
Plaese to braek this down completely.
The place I work at does 99% of his touring. This has enabled me to do shows with other artists like Rickey Smiley, Bruce Bruce, Mike Epps, D.C. Curry, Kayne West, Sharon Jones & even Percee P as well as hire strutters to hit the streets promoting the mentioned shows.
Agreed - I've seen him a bunch of times and I'd even take Patton Oswalt over him. And, as I pointed out to my cousin - there's no such thing as a good racist.
That routine had me in stitches. Maybe it was different but I remember the new york stick up kid was spttin slang tryin' to rob him and he said "What, you wanna hit this?" Maybe it was a different but similar one.
Rockadelic, I don't remember that one but it sounds good.
*raises hand
I dunno...this guy is funny and I'm not sure he loves white people that much.
Cat co-wrote for Richard Pryor. He's been doin his thing in the comedy world for a *minute*. Respect game.
for some reason i'm thinking Shango....light skinned,tall dude ?
that joke has been done by several comedians over the years in different variations though....
but yeah....i think Shango if my memory serves correct
Don't mean jack, looks queer as a $3 bill...
Let's comment on it some more....and this affects his ability to be funny how?

c'mon dude, grow up... paul mooney is funny as fuck (and i believe married to a white woman...)
Naw, my first intro to Paul Mooney was his appearance on some funny-ass Robert Townsend one-hour variety show around 87 on HBO.
I cribbed the "wrote for Richard Pryor" from the Yahoo article when RP died.
It's all about tryna make someone look bad, huh? Thanks for the info, tho. Happy Holidaze.
I haven't been here on SS long but I think I've figured out that even worse than being gay is being married to a white woman!!!
He did come up with the idea for Diff'rent Strokes but the network stole the concept from him...
He's funny as hell and a lot of the stuff he says is very true but people are afraid to say it out loud. I interviewed him 4 years ago over the phone and he was cool as shit. His observations about racism in Hollywood are spot on.
being funny doesn't give you a pass for being racist.
jesus, he's not racist...
everyone is touchy here today...
Jus sayin', looks bent, doesn't affect his ability to be funny at all...However being married (to a "white girl" or anyone else) doesnt stop him being gay, there are a lot of "married men" out there with boyfriends...They call the wives beards, cos they cover up...
Look...whatever you do in your personal life is up to you.
