I really doubt if even the most offensive comedian say would sound off at an occasion like a funeral, graduation, elementary dance recital especially if these involved members of their own family. Maybe they would be they would also hardly be surprised by the consequences.
What really bothers me is when people(comedians, whites, blacks,whoever) denegrate and laugh at, make fun of, whether they make money doing it or not, it (to me) is all the same types of racial discrimination.
