Being a comedian, it is very hard for me to make sure I am not hurting anyone's feelings, and being fair to everybody. People everywhere are arguing that we need to draw a line on how offensive our jokes are, but most of us disagree. It is impossible to keep everybody happy all of the time, at some point or another, everyone person will become offended by a joke, but really good comics are playing an important function in society by forcing us to confront realities that we would often prefer to ignore. Comedians are just telling the truth, a big part of our argument to have to freedom to joke about anything we want to say is that we are just being honest with society. We are using our freedom of speech to give our stance opn topics through comedy. “A lot of racially charged s**t happens here in New York City. Yet mainstream culture likes to pretend that race issues don’t exist. Ninety-five percent of white people and ninety-five percent of black people live on different planets. They don’t speak the same language. They don’t interact. They’re not comfortable around one another. That’s f***ed up. It’s the sad reality of our culture. Unfiltered honest talking on race is rare, but comics are comfortable with race. Comics are honest.” This is a very strong quote from Greg Giraldo, a Harvard Law School graduate turned comic who hosts Comedy Central’s Friday Night with Greg Giraldo show. He is telling us that what a lot of people find offensive about a lot of comedians jokes, is just us comedians not being afraid to talk about the truth, and what is really going on in society, while most people are afraid. He goes on to talk about how his Dad passed away from cancer, but he continues to write jokes about those areas. A lot of times when we are making jokes, it isn’t just to make people laught, we are also giving our opinion on different issues, which is our freedom of speech, so there is no need to draw a line on what we are joking about.
