''Responding to the clip, Duker - who has appeared on Eight Out Of Ten Cats- asserted that 'white power' and 'black power' are 'capitalist myths' that need to be dispelled, before calling 'whiteness' a 'capitalist structure'.

She then claimed that 'white power is Trump Tower' - a nod to Left-wing allegations that the US President is a racist - and jokes about 'killing whitey'.

'White power is Trump Tower', Duker said, 'but when we say we want to kill whitey, we don't really mean we want to kill whitey'.

She then quips to the panelists 'we do' - to roars of laughter in the studio.''

nothing funny about making jokes of ''killing white people''


not that i defend white people, given their hardcore right wing also are unacceptable with their toxic behaviour what i notice in BLM related videos on youtube, how they are too rude, nasty, vile at opposition


how to solve this problem, no more extremism from either side, but in all honesty i am thinking of ignoring this problem myself since it makes me a bit depressed

If you watched it or a clip, it's abundantly clear that the "we do" is tongue in cheek.

Actually, to add to that, can I point out that she's making a joke to Frankie Boyle who is laughing along with her. I don't know if you've noticed, but Frankie is actually a big ruddy faced white bloke :omgno:.

If she was being serious, she needs serious psychological help.

But a she's a comedian on a comedy show ... I think that's as good a time as any to tell jokes?

alright, maybe this is not my sort of humour then

Wow we aren’t even allowed to make jokes anymore! Pc culture has gone crazy

Comedy is comedy, if you're tuning into a Frankie Boyle show, of all things, then you can't be offended by edgy humour because that's his entire shtick.

hope this is towards Dailyfail, not me since i am far from PC myself


but jokes about killing people is not what i myself like (i am overall not a huge fan of stand up comedy, jokes either find them far too hardcore for my liking)

It's all comedy... until someone jokes about killing black people. Then Duker would have a sudden sense of humour failure.

it doesn't matter what race/colour but jokes about killing people overall is just dark humour at its darkest

and i do have a good sense of humour anyway

You’d think the free speech, protect comedy brigade wouldn’t be upset by a joke, but then, they are the biggest snowflakes around

i got nothing against her, i would have nothing against BLM related jokes if that is what today's comedy is, staying topical with today's news

but do not mention ''killing people'' and i would say this no matter which comedian says this for a joke

The best comedy is always about punching up at a target, not punching down.

‘Everyone’s thing is the worst thing in the world,’ he tells me. ‘We all do it. We
go to a show and say “I wish he hadn’t joked about that. That’s the thing I care
about”.’ He recalls playing in New York for the first time and receiving a letter
from a Jewish society upset about his Anne Frank material. ‘I said to them, “You
laughed at the jokes about famine, Aids and cancer. You knew I was joking
there, didn’t you?” I’m playing the idiot. That’s what irony is. It’s the opposite
of what you actually think. You wouldn’t satirise an idea that you fundamentally
agreed with and get excited about it as an artist.’
