And then niggas say we have all rights to be offended by white people saying and doing shit. But if a black gay person gets offended they just soft? Do they not know crackers use the same argument

Ignorance can be remedied. Stupidity is incurable.
The easiest example for me would be the joke he already apologized for back in 96.

Ask these same rabid social media justice warriors to pay reparations for slavery and watch them disappear.

You're in a thread based on an interview, where the apology for the joke is discussed, yet you need me to tell you what joke it was?

There is no specific joke referenced in the portion you quoted and I don't have access to the NYT. We can talk in circles about not reading all we want. I asked for a specific joke that used to be funny but isn't funny anymore. 2 pages ago. Everyone can talk in circles, ask questions about if niggas read, etc.
But none of that answers my very specific question. So...

From Eddie or in general?

I don't know about "we all" but blackface was pretty common back in the day and got a lot of laughs. Nowadays... not so much.

In general. Doesnt have to be Eddie.
That will never happen because "funny" is always subjective so "we all used to think was funny" is a loaded question but I can very easily give an example of jokes that used to be acceptable that aren't anymore w/o facing serious backlash...look at the way folks react to those that defend blackface as "jokes that were ok at the time so why are people making a big deal now" that happens everytime some famous white person pops up w/ an old black face picture or racist joke?

We're talking about stand up comedy here. I mean an actual joke that a nigga said on stage that was funny back in the day that isn't funny now.
And blackface was never funny. And the racist white folks who thought it was funny back in the day still think its funny now.
It's funny you say that because a good portion of these "social justice warriors" you are disparaging are black folks. Niggas just don't like when the issues they brng up shine a light on them instead of everyone else

Let's make it not subjective then. Let's use YOU as the baseline. Can You tell me a joke that YOU thought was funny back in the day but that YOU don't think is funny anymore.
I'm just curious. Legitimately.
The same way niggas trying to ride for Eddie Murphy still think those jokes he told are funny now too...and you want a specific example go look at Louis CK and any masturbation joke he made which he has tons. Them shits have an entirely different context now that we know this nigga was on some real life creep shit
Ya mama jokes, white people do this but black people do this etc. And besides it’s tough to quantify which jokes aren’t or are funny because it’s subjective.
What do you think was funny back then that isn’t funny today?
Sure I can do that. I used to think Eddie Griffin and Katt Williams standups was funny as hell until I actually got older and had read more things and been exposed to more things so now looking back at some of their jokes them shits come off like just wild ass conspiracy theories. I still think they're both funny as comedians but those jokes just don't hit the same anymore because I would hear them and think "he's just talking shit there's actual legit answers to some of this shit". See Griffin's jokes about how the pyramid's were built or Katt Williams jokes about pretty much anything from 06-2010
