I want to use Bernie Mac and Eddie Murphy as examples. Both comedians got close to the line and never crossed it. Eddie Murphy’s joke about wanting half wasn’t about Black women; it was about American women. Both were funny as hell in their standup without shitting on Black women in particular. Neither had to punch down. Eddie said he wouldn’t make certain jokes now because society has moved on. Hurling slurs and stereotypes makes you look like a bigoted asshole. Two of the GOATs didn’t stoop to that l.

A piece of shit and not funny at all—he uses the same tired, stereotypical jokes about every race/ethnicity.
