Eddie Murphy – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com Current Affairs Sun, 17 Apr 2022 21:44:39 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.4 https://i0.wp.com/selfequanimity.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/SE-Copy.png?fit=32%2C32 Eddie Murphy – Self Equanimity http://selfequanimity.com 32 32 176655959 10 years ? Remember when we could all take a joke ???? http://selfequanimity.com/10-years-remember-when-we-could-all-take-a-joke/ http://selfequanimity.com/10-years-remember-when-we-could-all-take-a-joke/#respond Sun, 10 Apr 2022 23:51:13 +0000 https://selfequanimity.com/?p=1774 Once upon a time, people could laugh at jokes, comedians used to cross the line, and people knew not to take them seriously, not to mention, that we all know that comedy is rooted in truth. Eddie Murphy made more “out of line” jokes about people like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, and even Richard Pryor (his fellow comedian).  The interesting thing about Stevie Wonder jokes is that he Stevie Wonder, found them funny, especially how Eddie Murphy made jokes about his blindness. There weren’t enough jokes in the world from Eddie Murphy about Stevie, Stevie even appeared on Saturday night live with Eddie, and he even sang with him on his birthday(Eddie Murphy’s birthday that is). Dave Chappelle made jokes about Prince, we did not hear anything from prince about how much he hated Dave,  Chris Rock did make jokes about prince and ended up interviewing him. Brothers and sisters, there is a reason why Eddie Murphy isn’t going back to do stand-up comedy… people are too sensitive these days.  Who wants to get cancelled for no reason at all but a bit of humor… This is why I like the fact that Netflix stood behind Dave, people are getting too sensitive,  We do brag about freedom of speech, only if its without emotion though.  I hear the normal woke rhetoric about how black women need to be defended, well I agree with that , INCLUDING Chris Rock’s daughters as well, which girl wants to see her father slapped on stage like this????  We all need to laugh in these uncertain times brothers and sisters , let’s not make it worse!!!!!
