When did the blacks lose stand up comedy. Not a single one of them is funny.
Blacks are generally better than us in everything but self deprecation and math, both of which are essential in comedy.

You don't 'get' Hannibal, it blows my mind he's even as mainstream as he is as subtle and based his humor is.

>when did the blacks lose stand up comedy
When Richard Pryor ran through the streets naked, on fire, and high on cocaine. Don't get me wrong, that was funny as hell, but Americans lost respect for black comedians after that.

This tbqh.
Black comedy died with Patrice O'Neal. The only ones left are the ones who WERE funny decades ago, and the ones who aren't funny now.
The problem is that white comedians don't have a social stigma attached to making racial comments, and can explore racially charged themes in their comedy. But due to black guilt, black comedians just can't "go there," and usually just resort to awkward quasi-apologetic "jokes" about how lame they are as a race.

Yea we should let black comedians say more words and make edgier points. It feels like society is a bit too sensitive and holding them back a bit

There aren't any good comics performing currently desu.
I've always liked Hannibal Buress and John Mulaney but they're new stuff isn't as good.
Def Comedy Jam, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, none of their shows would get past the censors today. I'm surprised Chappelle Show lasted as long as it did and PC cunts got after him for saying nigger too much. This is why you never saw people smile in Eastern Europe during the cold war. Commie cunts sucked the humor out of everyone.
There's not a single active comedian that I enjoy. All of the ones that I have enjoyed, in times past, still made me laugh when there material wasn't even good.
Steve Merchant fucking sucks. The only worthwhile thing the guy ever did was get insulted into self-hating silence by Karl.
black comedians make a KILLING
they just play black clubs, work black crowds, host black awards shows
they rarely make it mainstream because that's not what mainstream audiences want right now
the further mainstream comedy gets layered in deadpan expression, irony and self-consciousness, the less black comedians you will see
they value movement, sights, sounds, a real old-fashioned 'show.' black crowds would probably riot if they saw some pasty white dude standing still and talking about taco bell all monotone
When did men lose stand up comedy?

You pretty much described Kat Williams. Black people love him.
One can only imitate 80s Eddie Murphy for three decades. After that it just doesn't work anymore.
