If a black comedian can't use the N word as a color in his artistic palette then you guys have lost all perspective.

Words are just words. It is the intent of the use of any word that matters.

And even though the article wasn't about Kathy- she is funny as FUCK!!!!!
My point, Hev; is simply that I just don't particularly like the double standard applied in comedy or in everyday conversation; whether by racial, religious, or nationality. Either we can accept one standard or we can't. It's not just use of the N-word (although that probably is the most quoted of the double standards applied). Maybe it's just me. I never really found Polish jokes funny; neither imprecations againt Jewish people. I'm actually more a fan of the Rodney Dangerfield " I get no respect" dialogues.
