Well, to be fair, there's a difference between racial comedy and just standing on a stage holding a microphone shouting "Nigger!" over and over again.
Yep, and not only that but singling out a single black person and calling him a nigger, yelling at him basically, in a room full of white people.

With all the cracker ,honkey ,white boy jokes done by black comics and on black shows.Not to mention the outright racism by mainstream rap stars like Ice Cube.
Black comics generally annoy me, because the vast majority of them center their acts around race, and the differences between black and white people. "Black people say this, but a white person would say this". It's old and tired. Granted, some do/did it well and are very funny (Chapelle, Murphy, Prior, Rock), they have other stuff, but they still often rely on the same old black/white crap.
Now take Ron White for example, who is my current favorite comedian. I don't think i've ever heard him mention race in his acts. I don't think it could even really work for a white dude.
But as paint mentioned, this wasn't racial humor, it was just racist anger.
edit: how could i forget Chris Rock?
