Does Chris Rock tell non-race related jokes??

You didn't tell me any... I've just had to back track through the whole entire thread to find you listing people back before I'd even started posting in it. I replied to the first post and went from my reply.

Not heard those guys doing it but I'll take your word for it. It's still true that it is prominent in almost all black stand up whilst I've heard little to none of it from other comedians but if these guys do do it as much as black comedians do to as big an audience then I guess there is no double standard.

Still don't know why it's such dominent topic in black stand up but maybe you could shed some light on that also?
I'm getting the feeling you know a few more comedians than I do...

edit: Oh and for the record I hope I don't come off as being bothered about race jokes - they're funny. these are just the conclusions I've came to as to why it is so much more common in black comedy

My bad, didn't know you didn't see my first post. You are correct, racial topics are more prevalent among black comics, but I'm merely stating that in stand up comedy, there are no double standards. In society, there are DEFINATELY the double standards you speak of, but all barriers come down in stand up because true stand up (most notably from the greats like Carlin and Pryor) is considered art and nothing is off limits or out of bounds. But again, back to your first observation, you're right, racial topics are more common in black comedy, it's just that no comedian, regardless of race, will face any real backlash for it.

No mate, my bad... I shouldn't skim read threads
Would of cut to the chase if I'd read that in the first place wouldn't it?
