Humor, Between, difference, understand, Racial, racist

Question by Eric R:

Do you understand the difference between racist humor and racial humor?

I frequently see people attack comedians like Dave Chappelle and Paul Mooney as "racist" (rather than racial) comedians.

Racist humor uses detrimental and oppressive stereotypes which reinforce the political and social power of a dominant class, while racial humor is simply commenting on this inequity.

Do you understand the difference? If so, why do you think so many people can't see the difference?

Because they don't take the time to understand what really is and isn't.
