One thing that is lost in all this is the question of why so many comedians and comedy writers have so much anger in them. When I was younger, I spent a great deal of my life working with them at comedy clubs in NYC and L.A. and was always surprised at the level of bitterness and anger in them - perhaps fueled by drugs.

Some of the angriest and rudest have got to be Bill Maher, Richard Belzer, Joy Behar, Chevy Chase and that little beast who conducts Letterman's band.

America is not a racist, angry country but our funnymen sure are.

I live in LA, and have long noticed that of all the different types of celebrities, (singers, dancers, actors, comedians,) the comedians are usually the least pleasant in person. I think perhaps they had rough childhoods or something which caused them to turn to humor as a defense...or as a weapon. I truly don't know what it is.

"America is not a racist, angry country but our funnymen sure are."
Richards is not a racist, he is making the same point that Chris is making in his much touted routine on racism in the following video.

Notice that not one member of the audience is offended or leaves at anytime, in fact they are wildly clapping and shouting words of approval.

I suggest the you do not watch this video unless you are familiar with Chris Rock and his points of view.

Chris Rock educates on the difference between "black people and niggas"
