Actually none of the comics were even remotelly funny. |

He raised a smirk from me tonight which is more than he's done in the last 15 or so years.

I have to say I didn't feel like it was racist. Possibly a bit misjudged - and definitely not funny. Just like all of his material.

Because just saying the word "black" does not make you a racist.

but if you had a white comic saying "all the white people say yeah" then how do you think it would be received? |

You'd have the black equivilent of woolster, stfcinbmth and chalkies_shorts who are morally outraged, but on the whole I don't think there'd be any real issue.

Are you sure. Had John Terry called Anton Ferdinand a Thick Blind Cunt he wouldn't be facing a court case after the Euros. Replace Blind with Black & all hell breaks loose. |

Fuck off is that racist. However it is unfunny. I was at a do the other month and Lenny Henry was the link man all day, and did an alright job. However at the evening do he started banging on about black issues and bearing in mind his crowd were middle aged successful white businessmen, his humour fell on deaf ears. The slavery jokes weren't well received at all.
Think Lenny needs to hang up his joke book and concentrate on his Premier Inn career.

As you rightly say, it's all about time & place. And whilst it was not in Terry's league this wasn't the time or place for some very unfunny comments. |
