totally. Whenever I used to say "I'm just gonna hop in the shower" my ex-husband would always say, "well be careful and don't fall down!" got me every time!

It was not a racist joke. DUH.

I live in LA. Psychics make insane amounts of money preying people here and I think they are just as evil as the Catholic Church or Islamists or other groups who lie for money and power. It's not "cute" that she lied to you and took your money by emotionally manipulating you. It might be fine for you because you…

In fact, *dear Jezebel*, http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/12/…

Wow, um, I don't mean to sound harsh but... you're just not very bright are ya? I said, "that's like saying we don't have a preconceived notion..." which was clarifying that OF COURSE YOU DO - THAT'S THE POINT - it's not about race, it's about funny cultural anecdotes. OF COURSE you conjure an image of "Cletus" and…

Haha! I thought those were hilarious, (though kind of a rip off of Louis CK), and I was surprised Jezebel didn't write an article entitled, "Aziz sympathizes with child molestors" or something!

No actually lighten up. All ethnicities get made fun of for their names. I'll make fun of a Courtney or an Ashley and you'll know who I'm talking about. I'll make fun of a Cletus or Billy Bob and you'll know who I mean. White people be so dumb and ghetto too, just like everyone else on Earth and names are funny…

I'm not - comedy is the most sacred arena on Earth. Honestly there is nothing more important in life than keeping perspective and a goddamn sense of humor. Comedy is wisdom.

I think you're responding to the wrong person, as, we are in agreement on this.

He's not?? Hahaha! Watch "The Jerk" sometime. Hint - the movie starts out with him saying, "I was born a poor black boy..."

No darlin. Maybe you're young and unfamiliar with Steve's work. He's not making fun of "an entire race of people by calling their names ignorant" - that's like saying when Louis CK says, "So Cletus was..." or when Richard Pryor says, "So Billy Bob comes over and..." we don't have a pre-conceived notion of the…

great comment. It wasn't about "apologizing" it was about recognizing it would be misinterpreted by hyper-sensitive people and acknowledging that times have changed since he was younger and you can't make the jokes he is famous for. He's a very wise, mature man and this is a great comment nodding to that.

Awesome comment. I also love when white people start talking about "cultural appropriation" with authority.

You know, your comment makes me realize that if there is one single thing on this earth that I hold "sacred" - it's comedy.

Hahaha! You didn't get the joke.

Seriously? The name "Billy Bob" or "Cletus" isn't funny to you like the name "Shaniqua" is? Okay, sure.

Yeah. Maybe actually watch the video I posted, and you might get a clue.

Yeah, I mean, I think the reason this shit upsets me so much is that I really feel Jezebel is important and has an important feminist voice to get out there and make excellent points about topics that don't get addressed otherwise - and then this sort of thing just completely undermines the entire purpose to this…

HE WAS NOT BEING RACIST. ON ANY LEVEL. He was making fun of African-American names. he's a a fucking comedian. It's like calling a white person Cletus or Billy Bob - there are names that are culturally significant. UGH watch some comedy. Get a sense of humor!

Saying that you tweeted something racist is saying that person is racist. That's how that works. It wasn't racist. Period.
