The United States’ majority demographic was his favorite subject: “The White man got more nerve than a toothache.” There’s his bit about the ’80s classic Back II The Future: “I can only go back but so far before my Black ass is back in chains.” Funnier is the joke he once told on The Late Show with David Letterman in which a White kid rubs chocolate cake onto his face and with equal innocence and glee exclaims to his mother that he is now Black. The child’s mother slaps him (“Don’t you ever say that again in this house!”) and sends him to the father, who then slaps him and shoos him to his grandfather, who repeats the same violence before returning the boy to the mother. Mother: “Now what have you learned today?” Kid: “I’ve learned I’ve been Black for five minutes and already I hate you White people.”
