[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No the subject matter is not funny. However, his delivery of the story is, very much so. Comedy has a history of shining a light on injustice, while making you laugh all at once. [/quote]

I thought the story was hilarious.  I'm an abuse and trauma survivor and humor is very much used to soothe pain as well as shine a light on injustice.  It doesn't make the topic any less serious and it isn't demeaning.  I thought the guy's use of the work "niglet" was especially funny - it conveys perfectly the sense of idiocy of that trip.

I'm curious, though, how do people know the audience was white?  Yeah, I saw the white guy on the couch but there clearly were a lot of other people listening to his story.  We hear their laughter.  Why are you assuming everyone is white?[/quote]

Not the pp you're responding to, but as for how I knew the guy was speaking to an all-white audience: I had a feeling that was later confirmed when a poster in the thread posted two more videos of the guy, one of which shows everyone in the room with him is white. [/quote]
