And then there is “white face”:
“In 1985, actor Phil Morris played black attorney Tyrone Jackson on the soap opera The Young and the Restless. He uses make-up to pass as a white man and infiltrate Joseph Anthony’s crime organization.”

I actually happened to see it for a few minutes on my three-channel tv back then, and he looked really weird.

Here’s the deal. If Democrats are caught doing something racist, they apologize and explain how they have evolved. If Republicans are perceived to be doing something that is considered racist, like eating watermelon or fried chicken, and apologize they are flip flopping and fired or forced to resign.
To be fair, there’s a definite difference between blackface (like Al Jolson) and black makeup (like Robert Downey Jr in Tropic Thunder).
That was hilarious.
Jimmy kimmel was carl Malone this is ok?
George Carlin died in 2008, I’m sorry to have to tell you. He wrote one statement I will have to locate again. It says if the government allows you to vote on something it is meaningless or they would not allow that issue before the voters and so on.
The rest is about a secret group of inner top leaders who will stay no matter who is elected (he Deep State of course, now known). They let others and us the lowest in the country (he honest voting citizens and taxpayers) know what we are allowed by them to do.
I know he did. I’m thinking of his talk on global warming, football, etc.
Now you got me interested so I have to ask: what talk. Sounds intriguing.
George Carlin:
“The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments in a courthouse: You cannot post ‘Thou shalt not steal,’ ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery,’ and ‘Thou shalt not lie’ in a building full of lawyers, judges, and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.”
Priceless!
That’s getting close to what a humor-ism is. To understand what a humorist is read some works by Mark Twain - there are some stories by Carlin that are humorist such as I mentioned.
