Lenny Bruce - Black woman or White woman

[nomibe2911]

Lenny was a pioneer because he was doing it before Pryor or Carlin. Much respect to him.

[bailinnumberguy]

Lenny Bruce completely changed comedy for all that followed him, but died a broken, tragic figure. Watch Lenny Bruce and then watch George Carlin and you'll realize that w/o Lenny, the Carlins and the Pryors probably never would've come into being.

[checkunderyourbed]

Lena Horne was like Halle Berry or something back in those days...

[davidratcliffe1]

Rosie O'Donald is the love child of Dom Deluise and Julia Childs.

You guys also have to remember this joke was told in the fucking sixties man.

I mean Lenny had some serious balls back then.

[AvEryBadApPLe]

Now that's a REAL king of comedy. Foxx, Pryor, Bruce and Carlin should be on Mount Rushmore.

[buddhafyre]

@AvEryBadApPLe true 

[goback3spaces]

Amazing how quaint this sounds today

[MsAlqamar]

interesting perspective...

[mick3yhula]

haha well i definitely don't think he's suggesting we're all the same, but certainly that skin color probably isn't a very important factor in judging a person.

[guely55]

Fucking true!, Mr. Bruce

[faith022008]

@Salocin, yes race was the point, remember in what era this man's material was exposed in. Blacks and women were thought of as inferior in all ways. To people back then, this was common knowledge. I suggest exploring a little thing called, history.

[ElectricShark]

I kinda thought Kate Smith was cute.......oh well.

Still, race has nothing to do with beauty.

[rocknrollporn]

@ElectricShark a white man wouldnt think kate smith was cute but its cool dude i dont hate.

[ElectricShark]

@rocknrollporn,

Um.......I'm not black.

I am white and I said that.

Anyways, thats cool.

[casinohijack]

I love that idea how about the choice between Rosie O'Donal or Beyonce?

[MatthewS8590]

genius, in less than 40 seconds he was able to totally show us how frivolous our inital ideas of race our. ha, not when it comes to sex.

[costcordero2]

the genius ... mark twain, lenny bruce, richard pryor, george carlin & dave chappelle ... lenny was the 4runner of all the comedians of the modern age ...

[DinoMireles78]

@costcordero2 agreed. But you should check out Bill Hicks as well

[Cioppa182]

@costcordero2 Bill Hicks too

[BeccaLaughsAtBecca]

Brilliant.

[dal4018]

@BeccaLaughsAtBecca Was he trying to say they both look the same?

[warrior9teen]

@dal4018

No he's trying to say once you know the black woman is attractive and the white woman isn't then colour no longer factors into it. That we are all the same regardless of race.

[dal4018]

@warrior9teen Okay thanks for the input I thought he was saying as I thought before that all women are the same

[Salocin27]

@warrior9teen I agree "That we are all the same regardless of race." But is that the real point of what he is saying. I think he was being a bad ass here.

[buddhafyre]

@warrior9teen actually he's simply touching on the inherent superficiality of race prejudice. you were right in the first half of your statement.

[kermitdfrogz]

lol show this to the teabaggers; they'll commit suicide before answering... so let's buy Superbowl time for this clip.

[Blink316E]

@kermitdfrogz Good one, man. It should be on the Superbowl, right before a Bud Light commercial.

[sonor23]

Lenny nails it .

[fuzzster69]

Fucking A
