Black humor has always been crass, politically-incorrect, and filled with profanity and sex.

Fools don't know the difference between vulgarity and humor. Eddie Murphy can be and often is hilarious without being vulgar. Vulgarity is to comedy what sleaziness is to pop music. It isn't the product, it is the marketing that sells the product.

Thanks. Eddie Murphy is making more money being in more family-oriented films than being in shoot-em ups.

Total transformation. I seriously thought his career was dead when he made that vampire movie.

I'm just stating a fact. That's how black humor is - raw, profane, and filled with sex and violence - and that's how young black adults and most whites like it.
