DL Hughley on Getting Into Fistfight with Eddie Griffin, Now Close Friends (Part 22) 

It’s not even a joke really, it’s just a premise

Just like the black vs white jokes. Richard Pryor was doing that since the '70s.... and I just watched a recent Snoop comedy special with Guy Torry as one of the comedians and he's still telling white vs black jokes as if it's still the '70s, '80s and '90s.

@@KtotheG because the comparisons are still different today, we don't grow up the same and parents definitely do not respond the same

@@HellokittyLuv03 The problem is that we're 60+ years deep in integration, interracial marriages and American cultural homogenization. Those jokes were fresh in the '70s because integration was still new. We were still foreign to each other as different cultures and ethnicities. Today, those differences are blurred. We have been questioning what "blackness" is for several decades now. It's not the same as it was in the '60s and '70s. We work together, live together, create together, build together and procreate together a whole lot more than we used to. Why do you think black people still get so triggered when you accuse them of "talking white" or "acting white?" Conversely, white people have adopted many customs, traits and mannerisms of black people. There's too much assimilation and cross-pollination of cultures for those jokes to still have significance or relevance...

@@KtotheG You sound like you are limiting yourself to the world you live in, the world you are know, the world you are accustomed to. There are deep worrying divides in all parts of the world. And even in parts of the world where there is greater integration, cross-cultural jokes are still told, and I personally would not advocate for a stop to this. It's OK to make fun of ourselves, within limits, and its OK to make fun of each other, within limits. It's part of life, or is it not? I recently saw this interview on RU-vid of the cast of "Fences" a movie that essentially deals with African-American culture, that was directed by Denzel Washington, and I love the way Denzel emphasised the need for cultural movies to be directed by individuals from those particular cultures. Denzel gave two examples, the first, of how Martin Scorsese, an Italian-American, directed "Goodfellas," a movie that dwells on Italian-American culture, and the second, of how Steven Spielberg, a Jewish-American, directed "Schindler's List," a movie about Jewish culture and Jewish history. All three movies, "Fences," "Goodfellas" and "Schindler's List" are excellent movies, with excellent storytelling, and it's just as well that they were directed by individuals who were born and brought up in the three cultures in the three movies. I'm from Kenya, in East Africa, and I believe in racial integration, the integration of different cultures, and the integration of different ethnicities, communities and tribes. Integration, anywhere in the world, can however be fickle and skin deep. Underlying a seemingly serene surface, when it comes to integration, are concealed and unseen fissures, resentment, and even hatred. Society in every part of the world is like a ticking time bomb of the unseen. There are 42 tribes in Kenya, and I grew up in an environment where there was a representation of many Kenyan tribes. I went to school with babes and guys from different Kenyan tribes, and some of the babes and guys I admired most back then were from other Kenyan tribes, not the one I am from. I always imagined that we were still not united as a people, a country and a nation, but that we were getting there. This way of thinking changed after Kenya's bitterly contested General Elections of 2007 that almost took us to Civil War. I couldn't believe the way we went at each other. Deep concealed hatred from all of us came to the surface like an erupting volcano. For a while I even felt like a "dead man walking." It occurred to me that I had been living a lie, me and many other Kenyans. I was less hurt taking insults from people I didn't know, much more hurt taking insults from people I thought I knew, such as people from other Kenyan tribes who I went to school with, the ones I mention above. I was also shocked by the way people from my own tribe who I was close to, close relatives even, insulted and demeaned people from other tribes. I had always thought that we were a much more fair minded people, a much more balanced people. This was 16 years ago, and I have been treading cautiously since then, after realising that this is not the country I thought I knew. Have we improved socio-culturally since then? No we haven't. And what makes it worse is that we have been living beyond our means with money we do not have, only further compounding a delicate sociocultural situation. It's like we are knocking on hell's door. So if things look pretty serene and integrated where you, stay alert and keep alert, and I don't mean this in a bad way. Things are not always what they seem, something I learned in my own rather profound way here in Kenya back in 2007. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 30th December 2023.

That's what I'm saying. He's so petty.😂

That's the same thing I was thinking all of us that grew up broke and the 80s and 90s was the remote control at some point😊

Facts, I’ve joked about that multiple times with friends.

My mama literally called us and kids "Gophers".... because our job is to "Go For this Go For that" I couldn't wait till I had kids or niece's/nephews to get my revenge because I wasn't just the youngest sibling I was the youngest family member cousins and all so ERRYBODY used me as a Gopher... my brother, cousins, aunts whomever. My granny would be in the back with my brother and call me back into the room from the kitchen to say "bring me some water"😒😒😒 instead of 1 either telling me 1st bring the water or 2 tell my brother who's right there with you. Shit used to drive me mad! But oh I got my revenge when my cousin had the 1st great-grandkid of our granny, I'm talking I taught him to crawl, walk, potty train all dat JUST so he could be a good gopher for me that boi was always running up and down the house cause of me 😂😂

​@@radiantlibra87that's you in your profile picture

Black people in general need to learn from this.

Eddie was in the military and DL was a blood. I'm sure they squabbled it out. But probably cracked Jones after 😂

I just imagine Eddie doing that old school boxing pose with the arms curled up moving back n forth & doing some chaotic dancey footwork

That's a good one!

Exactly vlad knows if rogan mentions him it's a chance he can get to that rogan level quicker every body knows this dude was stealing jokes word for word it's not even a debate don't fall for it joe.

If vlad says he's done his research and not bring up Johnny sanchez. Than yea he's just trying to get Rogan or any Rogans friends to react and defend him.

Man nobody cares about no Rogen 😆

​@@rokarion6979 Rogan's podcast is one of the highest grossing today. So vlad definitely wants his attention

@@SupaNatural28Man, F Roe Jogan….

Your manhood short or tall is not an option

For selling the fuck out.

@@AntMcLeod explain how?

He's a clown

STRONGLY DISAGREE. PSEUDO-INTELLECTUAL ASSHOLE would be more appropriate. And , AND,,,, ,, HOW IN THA HELL WAS HE EVER A KING OF COMEDY???? Least funny of the group. PERIOD.......TO THIS DAY.

i know the black man invented everything

I've been hearing that joke since at least the early '90s. George Lopez is trippin'... I bet his wife was probably talking about Carlos like she wanted to screw him and he got mad.

...actually, it's "kerfuffle"

@@vincepreston9304 he would probably be saying some funny stuff

I avoid those type of folks.

Because Joe Rogan was the person leveling the accusations

POC👍

Because Joseph Rogan is a jealous ,pos ,shill👍🏻

Don't you know whites can appropriate (steal) whatever they want with no repercussions?

Dos this relate to something in the video? If so, I must have forgot.
