white people aren't threatened by Steve Harvey because he's in a suit, his body language is non-threatening, he uses humor to ease tension, and if he's in close proximity to a white person, he'll try to innocently touch them as much as possible to make them relax even more, like a hand on the upper shoulder or back while laughing or talking with them.
one of the best tactics is c00nery and shucking and jiving, look at Steve's slave like demeanor when he's giving the joke in this video, notice how he even speaks in more of a southern drawl while delivering the joke, head down, looking away from massa.

interesting
peep this scenario.
it's almost a reversal of roles.
the topic is, name something you pass around. the white guy slams the buzzer and yells A JOINT!
he immediately becomes embarrassed realizing that white America doesn't openly condone the use of illegal drugs, Steve becomes a white man in this moment, pretending to be utterly shocked, which elicits the reverse upper shoulder grab from the white male, Steve promptly shakes it off symbolizing that he does not partake of or condone such activities.
upper shoulder/back grab is an equalizer between people.

So Steve is an effective communicator.

yeah, difference is the black contestant wouldnt have acted embarrassed and allowed him to do that
so it was the modesty/embarrassment of the white guy in the first place that allowed this to be played out
horrible reading of a situation, buddy
here's an example of a white man who's threatened by Steve Harvey, you can tell by his clenched facial expressions, but after Steve delivers the chicken joke, he's much more relaxed.
pay close attention to Kemp, his facial expressions AND his left hand.
at about 0:18 seconds, Kemp slightly moves his hand back, he's nervous about the answer he gave and he's also still unsure about the Black man in very close proximity to him.
0:23 his fingers creep even further back, he's trying to create more distance between himself and Steve, this is involuntary as he is in nervous cac mode,
0:28
Steve gets too close for comfort, so close that Kemp is only maintaining contact with the surface of the table using the tips of his fingers, Steve has breached his comfort zone.
0:33
Steve's joke has worked, it gives Kemp the sense of "hey this guy is actually funny"
but more importantly, note the non-verbal cues that the guy next to Kemp is giving him to help him become more relaxed, the head nods symbolizing "yes", and the upper back rub, which means "everything is okay" in this scenario. Kemp's hands relax onto the table and the threat level has severely decreased in Kemp's opinion.
0:44
watch Kemp's throat, he swallows, symbolizing 
tell us more about what Black people wouldn't do in any given situation, Mr. sweeping generalizations.
how can you say with certainty that a black person wouldn't have acted embarrassed?
and to your second point, that's the exact same thing I said in my post idiot.
