JJDude, Rock did, in fact, NOT say "Only gays watch the Oscars." In the Entertainment Weekly interview, he said the following, "What straight black man sits there and watches the Oscars? Show me one." On his Leno appearance, he joked about being misquoted about the Tony's, not the Oscars. In reality, the entire comment was misquoted. I'm not saying his actual comment is any better, just that people are freaking out over something that was never said.
First of all munkeystrap, u are tactless and really disgusting. Just because you are not ****ing offended by that ignorant, racist **** doesnt mean i cant be. I am so tired of you trying to tell me not to be offended by racism. YOU ARE NOT BLACK you dont understand why minstrel shows are offensive or what is to be a BLACK PERSON. stop ****ing trying to tell me to stop defendind who i am. and u will get reported too. IM SO SICK OF YOU F*CKING ELITIST PEOPLE TRYING TO RATIONALIZE RACISM. you dont think it s a big deal because you are not black. its offensive, and hurtful. on behalf of all the minorities on this board i want you to stop. no more "jiggaboo" pictures.(what that had to do with this thread ill never know) and no more racist comments please. i cant take it anymore. its a shame because i always loved broadway because i believed it was the part of the entertainment indusrty that wasnt as racist, well i guess i was very wrong.

You and me both Munk. Even if only because everyone assssssumes he will win. I love situations like that when HUGE upsets occur. But personally, I'm hoping the upset will come in the form of Annette beating out that prissy Hillary Swank. :0)
Munk, I'm kidding about Hillary. I borrowed the line from Jack on "Will and Grace" when he was talking about Rue McClanahan a few weeks ago. I know Hillary is sweet, but if you read my review of "Being Julia" on the off topic board, you'll know how I feel about Annette. :0)
Plum - I didn't do anything wrong to Tonya. Had you read through the entire thread, you would understand where I'm coming from and see what I'm trying to prove to Tonya. Obviously, she doesn't get it, and neither do you.

Actually, this thread isn't why I said that, munk. It's just a generalized statement based on what I've seen of your posting history. You're smart and I agree with a lot of your theatrical opinions, but you're also needlessly nasty and cruel. But that's just been my impression- feel free to direct me to posts that show otherwise.
What dont I get? That I should "lighten up". No i wont. I wont because I take pride in who i am and where i come from.That's why I get offended. Because u dont know me and u dont know what ive been through, and if i have to see some "coon" picture it upsets me. And Im not wrong for being offended by disrespect.
Thank you very nuch Plum, youre absolutely right.

The top ten most successful comedians of all time? What, is there an official list from the International Society of Comedic Artists or something?
And I've rolled my eyes at exessive political correctness before, but it's harder when you've been targeted by bigotry. You don't completey understand it until it's hit you.
