you're not going back and forth because it's not a fight you'd win. We've all been on this shyt long enough to know what it looks like when a user wants no smoke and has no retort.
Set the ego aside and concede those weren't jokes, then we'd get somewhere.
sometimes I test ya'll by throwing out some easy shyt to refute...and funny enough ya'll always got smoke when the argument is easy lol
entertainment shyt led to a trump election; maybe we should take it a bit more seriously. You still fukking with schulz after the non jokes I listed?
The reason I’m not engaging in this debate isn’t because I “don’t want the smoke” or have no retort; it’s because it’s clear you’ve already made up your mind that the world, and especially white people, are out to get you. When someone has such a fixed perspective, no amount of back-and-forth will lead to a productive conversation. And honestly, your interpretation of comedy suggests you don’t understand what comedy is meant to do.
The Flagrant podcast is full of comedians testing material, often pushing boundaries or presenting controversial ideas just to get a reaction. That’s the nature of comedy—it’s meant to challenge norms and provoke thought, not to be taken as some manifesto on race or politics. Sure, sometimes it’s in poor taste, but that’s part of the process of refining the craft. The problem is, you’re so focused on this imagined “race war” that you take offense to anything remotely edgy or provocative involving race.
Let’s step back for a moment: This is the only country where people obsessively categorize themselves as “Black” or “white.” In most other places, racial divides exist, but people don’t dwell on them to this extent. It’s not that prejudice doesn’t exist globally—it does—but the way Americans constantly dissect and amplify racial issues is unique. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take racism seriously, but it does mean we need to pick our battles wisely. Getting offended by a joke on a comedy podcast? That’s not it.
And let’s be real: Do you honestly think someone like 50 Cent, who’s clashed with high-ranking white executives at Starz and elsewhere, would tolerate anyone disrespecting him? He’s shown repeatedly that he keeps the same energy no matter who he’s dealing with. That alone should tell you these moments are entertainment, not serious offenses. The fact that 50 willingly engages with these entertainers speaks volumes about how he views these situations: as business and comedy, not as a personal attack.
Finally, this militant, confrontational energy you’re so committed to? It doesn’t translate in real-world, professional settings. If you’ve worked in a corporate environment—especially in a high-ranking position—you’d know that the approach you’re advocating isn’t how you build relationships or advance in life. Non-Black people often find that kind of behavior off-putting because they don’t view the world through the same lens of constant opposition. It’s not about selling out or conforming; it’s about being strategic, knowing when to push back, and when to let trivial things slide.
At the end of the day, we should not be looking to comedians or entertainers for serious guidance on race relations or politics. Their job is to entertain, not to educate or inspire outrage. Taking them too seriously only gives their words more weight than they deserve. So no, I’m not upset by what was said—I recognize it for what it is: a joke. Maybe it’s time you do the same.
