CNN said yesterday that this is a false rumor.

Bernie, are you dead or not?

The BBC, Yahoo and Time (ironically enough, in partnership with CNN) are reporting his death. I guess it could be a rumour, but the BBC are quoting Carl Reiner about his death. Presumably he would know if it was true or not.

I don't care. He was a terrible comedian and a bad person.

If you make your entire living on making fun of your race and reinforcing the racial divide in an already divided nation, you're not exactly the best person to be showcased on TV.

Damn. Bernie Mac was funny. I loved that guy.

Also, a lot of black comedians do that, Jack. You shouldn't call him a bad person unless you're willing to call everyone that does it a bad person. And I doubt you're willing to do that.

You're only a bad person if you make fun of other races, not your own. Everyone knows that, Jack!

Regardless of what his comedy act was like, he was still a human being who left behind a family, Jack. I know this is the internet, but seriously, that was a dick move.

Ok, maybe he's not a bad person, but that is a really shitty way to make a living and a really good way to fuck up an already broken society.

It sucks when somebody dies.

Pointing out problems with your own race isn't a dick move.

It's simple as that, it's simple as that, it's simple as that for your stupid ass.

I disagree. Race humour is easy and boring and never entertaining.
