“Whites Can’t Be Offended Because It’s All About Balance of Power” – White Professors

A stumbled upon this Sarah Silverman clip from 2001 where she appeared on “Politically Incorrect” to defend a joke she made about “chinks.”

Her joke was about her friend advising how she could get out of jury duty by writing  “I hate chinks” on the form. But Silverman didn’t want to appear racist so she wrote “I love chinks” instead.

A Chinese guy (literally), and his grievance group, went nuts. They toured the country calling Silverman a racist. Finally, they agreed to meet on Politically Incorrect for a debate.

On the show was a black actress from In Living Color, Anne-Marie Johnson, who couldn’t sit idly by without making it all about her specific grievance. She shifted the show from the discussion of chinks to niggers. (I’m using the word because the show did not censor the use of the word, and I will not write the idiotic “n-word” shortcode. I’m a grown adult writing about grown adult issues.)

During her argument David Spade said that he could never understand why black, brown, yellow, and red comedians could make jokes about white people with abandon, but a white performer isn’t afforded the same latitude.

Professor Johnson immediately launched into the tired “because it’s all about the balance of power, and white people have all the power” so anything said about them can’t be racist.

Maher immediately agreed with her.

I never quite understood this reasoning. Why do blacks swallow this tripe and repeat it when it’s obviously been authored by a white racist professor, not a black person. Not a black person with any sort of pride, that is.

Wouldn’t this explanation necessitate that, as a white person, you believe that any words coming from certain people would hold no power whatsoever because they are, indeed, less powerful?

White people who are offended by jokes told about them by black people, in my view, are less racist than people who shrug it off by saying, “hey, consider the source, they’re meaningless, let it go.”

Black people in this century are simply self-loathing and buying into the white elitist ideology that is meant to keep them down. It’s embarrassing for blacks to think that their greatest Black Power is their lack of power. So much for Black Pride.

Most of the time when you hear this crap it’s coming from well-to-do, powerful, successful blacks on television, where they command the most powerful soapbox imaginable, one that I’m certainly not afforded.

It hurts when a rich black person tells me that my whiteness is an affront to their blackness, as they ride off in their silver Maybach.

What I found interesting was this clip from 1993 where Johnson participates in a black Mary Tyler Moore parody where she talks about blacks eating fish sammiches and wondering which would go better with it, grape or red Kool-Aid. Keep in mind, In Living Color was a show that had a predominantly white audience. So she was shucking and jiving at the expense of blacks for her white overlords.

Listening to her pontificate 8 years later you’d think her record was free of hypocrisy. Hardly.

One last thing, there was a time when I liked Silverman for her comedic mind and her willingness to tread into territory that was decreed to be verboten, but she’s become an unfunny SJW/leftist political hack who would be on that panel condemning the 2001 Silverman.

In the final seconds of the show, an exasperated Silverman got in an exit joke that reminded me why I used to like her. She tells the Chinese activist that there are only 2 Chinese people she hates, “you and my friend Steve, who went pee pee in my Coke.”

Now, that was funny and brave and insolent considering the venue. That’s what comedians are supposed to do.
