Its a thin line between telling a racially provocative joke & being just blatantly racist.
Adam Corolla crossed the line. Its one thing to tell a creatively racially funny like a lot of comedians do, its another to just downright be racist & that's what Corolla did.
Chris Rock tells funny racist jokes.
Russell Peters tell funny racist jokes.
George Lopez tells funny racist jokes.
What adam corolla did was not comedy. It was basically the same thing that Michael Richards. Plain & simple.
As for the people who didnt find anything racist or funny about what corolla said, well that's because you are not filipino.
Im half black & half white. Ive heard white people say why do black people still complain about racism? Its 2010. We have a black president. Racism doesnt exist anymore.
How ignorant does that sound?
How would that white person know that racism against black people doesnt exist anymore?
She wouldnt know. She woldnt understand. She just wouldnt get it. Why? Because she's not black. Who are you tell a race what is offensive what isnt?
What if corolla went the other way & said that floyd mayweather is dumb just like all black people, all they do is go to jail, rob people, play sports, & eat chicken?
Would you be pissed if a asian, european,mexican person said that hey dont take it so seriously, its just a joke. He's just doing his job. I thought so. Dont excuse the vile, despicable act just because YOU werent offended by it.
Dont excuse the racist act for the sole purpose of entertainment shock value at the expense of a country with 100 million people. You didnt find it offensive or racist because it wasnt about you, your country, your culture, & way of life.
Try telling that to a person from the philippines.
I agree it wasn't funny, but a lot of what he said was true. If Kelly Pavlik refused to take a blood test people would be sh!tting all over him. Same goes for pretty much every other fighter whether white black or whatever. The fact of the matter is whether you a Pac fan or not, he's held to a different standard.
That part of the "joke" wasn't what everyone was complaining about.
He didn't cross the line. He was speaking the truth and was hilarious.
Just look at the pictures. They made some Pacquiao worship balloon thing. (at the end) Disturbing!
You are stupid and moron. :lew: :baby:
& what the hell is up with your signature pic sicko?
you want attention too?
that shit is disgusting.
What? the top or bottom one? I never knew a women with abs is sick.

Great post..
And I agree.. This coming from a American..
Only the dumb mofo thinks what Adam said was funny..
i dont know what im more pissed about, the racist joke? or the fact that people think adam corolla is funny.
There's a reason why everything he touches turns to sh*t. his movies bomb, his tv shows get cancelled, he used to be with kimmell but not anymore. Maybe that's why kimmell's show stunk so bad early on.
Its only classified as funny by the floyd fans because its bashing pacquiao & the philippines. If corolla was bashing floyd watch them denigrate everything about corolla.
Exactly.....I just dont get it :nonono:

What does this have to do with boxing? Go cry in the lounge or on a pillow.
exactly....this a BOXING FORUM
lets talk about BOXING!!!!!!
u wanna talk about that, get a petition to go on oprah or talk to Dr. Phil about it...
some things he said about Pac were a little funny (nothing we haven't heard though) but i was a little pissed about what he said in regards to my country...
ima filipino, but let God decide what happens to his life and career lol...
for the time though, this is a BOXING website, so lets keep it that way...
Take this shit to the lounge huh?
BTW. Adam Corolla was funny.
he WAS barely funny. Now he just plain sucks.
dave chappelle is racially funny. russell peters. pablo francisco, george carlin, bill maher, geoge lopez all know how to tell a racially funny joke. corolla does not.
Adam Corolla is not funny. That's why everything he touches turns into shit including this latest attempt at being funny.

yet you have posted 2x here & in the other adam corolla related thread. ill do both of us a huge favor & put you in ignore.
There's also a difference between a racially funny joke and a racially unfunny joke.
Most of what Corolla said falls in the latter. I'm more offended by tasteless jokes being unfunny than it being tasteless.
I feel the same way and I'm pinoy. If there was sarcasm in what he said, I'm either too dense to see it or the joke was senseless.
Just as I brush off Floyd's shit talking to hype a fight. I brush Carolla "racist" shit talking as a way to be talked about.
It's ok TS. I'm quite sure some of us pinoys are guilty of saying "racist" shit one time or another. It really depends on the listener. This is not the place for this thread though.

As a Filipino-American, I've laughed at almost every degrading joke that has been thrown at us.
I even make fun of my race from time to time: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showpost.php?p=7967064&postcount=16
But Carolla is NOT funny. It would've been funnier if he wasn't so ignorant.
