The Twitterverse has some questions about a resurfaced video in which Louis C.K. and Chris Rock casually drop the N-word.
A scene from HBO’s 2011 unscripted comedy talk show “Talking Funny” has recently caught the attention of people online. The clip in question features C.K. and Rock having a conversation with fellow comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Ricky Gervais.
Rock told Seinfeld and Gervais how C.K. is “the blackest white guy I know.” C.K. responded by asking Rock, “you’re saying I’m a n****r?”
“Yes,” Rock replied. “You are the n****r-est white man I have ever [met].” Gervais was thoroughly amused by the whole conversation, but Seinfeld was visibly uncomfortable. “We say n****ger on stage,” C.K. explained, pointing at Rock and himself. “You guys don’t.”
“Who says n****ger onstage? We don’t,” Gervais said of himself and Seinfeld. “You just did,” Seinfeld obviously pointed out. “You’ve found the humour of it,” Seinfeld told C.K. “I haven’t, nor do I seek it.”
Marketing consultant Frederick Joseph was appalled by the conversation he witnessed. “So Chris Rock just said Louis C.K. is a white “n****r” he and Ricky Gervais not only agreed but preceded to say n****r about five times,” Joseph tweeted on Saturday. “Jerry Seinfeld is the only one who had an issue. Chris Rock, you should be ashamed, all that fame and you’re still shucking and jiving?”

What with the F-word, the N-word, and the C-word,
we’re well on our way to spelling ‘France.’
Seinfeld has class.
He is on record saying that the PC environment of colleges is killing comedy and he doesn’t perform at colleges any more (perhaps not completely avoiding them, but mostly). He’s very, very rich, he can do anything he wants to do, he despises the PC stuff — and still — he avoids trashy words that decent people don’t use. Just because he has class. Great guy.
His TV show - still 20 years later, is still fricking hilarious. I watch it every now and then and it never gets old.
This is some kind of shock? Black comedians and rappers spew the “N-word” CONSTANTLY.
Only the palefaces are forbidden to use it.
I take it that you are not a fan of the Office.
My age, I suppose, but no idea who these characters are, or who gives a Shiite about them.
Another character I have no knowledge of.

I don’t care right now for all of the right reasons. These progressive purists that go around ‘looking’ into anyone’s past to find faults and sins of the progressive/politically correct way is immoral. Who died and made these atheists the sole arbiter of righteous living and standing upright? Yes I know that most of the accused are leftist themselves and they are getting their just reward but we can’t and shouldn’t legitimatize these liberal puritans of the worst way
Credit Larry David with some of that. “Curb Your Enthusiasm” is hilarious, as well.
Seriously? You never heard of Jerry Seinfeld? His sitcom in the 90s is rated as the best ever.
Yep, the Secular Puritans like to look way back into everyone’s lives.
Never watched a "sitcom" whatever that might be (have an idea) in my life.

You’d plotz if ya ever saw a South Park!
Oh noes, not the ridiculously euphemised ‘N’ word?
(Snicker, Snicker!)
Agree completely. Jerry Seinfeld has total class. He raises comedy up to a decent standard. Isn’t Louis CK the one who likes to masturbate in front of females office guests?
