A comedian that gets 90% of his audience offended by a joke he believes will be funny, didn't do his job well a comedian studies his audience understands how their mind works and manipulates them with his jokes in a way they will laugh,

No. A comedian's job is to tell jokes. The fact that the audience do not find a funny joke funny does not mean the comedian has failed. Ebiye shouldn't sink so low to please snowflakes that might even pick offense at the sun rays.

Deepfeel:
Very good many people got low self-esteem and get easily offended no doubt,
If you say that guy has no obligation to align himself with people's standard then he shouldn't be a comedian in the first place, if his a comedian and gets paid by making people laugh then his under some type of obligation as a comedian to make people laugh, the people will tell him when his jokes are funny and will tell him when his jokes are dry and offensive that's just what those people who reacted just did, the guy is in the entertainment business

People didn't find his joke funny and creative so he didn't do his job well a comedian who can't make people laugh is not a comedian at all

He did his job and I laughed but people were too sensitive. If someone is funny and people decide to be sensitive and easily offended, what else do you want from that person?

Duggedised12:
so because it is coming from a black man its not that serious? But if a white man were to do it ,you will be the first to shout racism. If we as black cannot respect our selves how do you expect other races to respect us?

Lol. The skin colour of the person telling the joke or making a statement is not important instead it is the intention and context that matters. Imagine if a 5 year old caucasian were friends with a 5 year old black and the caucasian smeared his entire face with black paint because, according to the caucasian, "he admires his friend's skin colour and wishes to be like him", would you call the caucasian kid a racist?

Mr. Chukwudi used a black ink to mimic the Yoruba tribal mark out of the desire of contempt and hatred for the Yoruba race while Mr. Okonkwo did it for comedic purposes and, in addition, to star in a film. Who is the bigot and how do you judge the bigot?

By the way ,what does too dark even mean? If your are black, you are black, you dont see white people making mockery of themselves for being too white,do you?There is racism in its boldness still going on around the world and for a black man to even have the nerve to tell another black person that they are too black is the stupidest joke ever. Like bro you are black to the white man, there is nothing like not too black in their dictionary.

Lol. Black is black, no doubt, but if someone says "Mr. A is too dark", it should be understood by anyone with common sense. Beyonce and Lupita are blacks but Lupita is DARKER IN COMPLEXION. Who cares what the white man thinks and what is in his "dictionary"?

Deepfeel:
Don't start an argument here, am only telling you why people reacted to that joke the way they did, it has nothing to with me, i live in a world of my own with my rules my beliefs my principles and my religion you saw their reaction didn't you? Just telling you that joke was a sensitive one, many people might interpret it like the example I gave previously, it's a joke yes , but he should have passed whatever message he was trying to pass in a way black people will be proud of their black skin, the massage was passed negatively I will say he lacks creativity

@black
This is the problem with you folks. If someone's joke about your skin colour makes you feel bad about your skin colour and makes you change your skin colour then you must have a low self esteem and the inability to think independently and maturely. Ebiye has no obligation to align himself with people's standard. If inoffensive things make you offended then either you toughen and grow up, or you remain a baby with a soft skin. No one owes it to you to please you and flow by your standards.

@red
Negatively? Well, I say it was harmless and positive. He was a bit creative. He can't please everyone.

natsuflame:
if the joke was about u trust me u won't find it funny

If it were about me, trust me, I wouldn't be offended.

Deepfeel:
The joke was more of a mockery to her black skin, like her dark skin is unattractive and dirty in a way that anyone who makes love to her will feel dirty.

Hahahahahaha. This is a misrepresentation that your mind invented. There are no mockery and degradation anywhere.

People react to things differently people read meaning to things differently, a joke you might laugh off another person will pick offense and fight, but this particular joke is a sensitive one sensitive because that's exactly how racist white people paint their faces black anytime they want to make mockery of our black skin, we Africans are always preaching to those bleaching to be proud of their black skin, making a joke of someone who maintained her natural black skin is offensive, he should have made the joke in a positive way, like the darker the berries the sweeter the juice the darker the skin the deeper the roots, that sounds more positive

Oga, if someone's joke about your skin colour makes you change your skin colour then you must have a low self esteem and the inability to think independently and maturely. Ebiye meant no harm, intended no racism or hatred, and was simply getting some fun. You can only get offended if you insist on being offended.

The fact that people react to things differently doesn't mean that it is right to vilify anyone who means no harm and is making use of their right. Intention and context are what should define racism not symbols.

What if I justified Islamic terrorism and blamed critics of Islam because "people react differently, criticism of Islam is sensitive and they should have been more understanding"?

highcollide:
I have said it countlessly that you should stop embarrassing yourself in public. You are not matured and educated enough to air your warped, ignorant opinion in public.

The burden of proof is upon he who makes the claim. If a woman claims a man raped her, she has to bring proof.

Stop exposing your foolishness on nairaland.

Lilwet.dick has no brain. She is just a frustrated person.

They look like brother and sister.

The guy came back from the dead and is flying higher than ever before.

Ligxy:
I'm sorry, but you're not sounding very smart.. If he made his joke not mentioning any names, nobody will pick offence, e.g after giving a very black girl head... We may laugh, even if it's not funny, but mentioning someone's name with a very dirty joke is in bad taste.
If you're not dumb, you should know that.
Would you be this cool if Lupita was your wife or your sister?

Lol. Even if he didn't mention any name, people would still be offended abi you are living on planet Neptune that you have forgotten that, thanks to our easy times, we have a generation of snowflakes who have the luxury of taking offence from inoffensive things? Ebiye meant no harm, he had no racist intentions and was simply catching some fun.

If Lupita were my wife or sister, I wouldn't be offended.

Deepfeel:
Hope you will laugh about it if a white man Jokingly refers to you as a black monkey?

Ogbeni, did Ebiye refer to Lupita as a black monkey? A harmless joke without any intention of hate became offensive because soft people took the luxury, afforded them by the easy times they live in, to be offended at inoffensive things.

If someone called me a black monkey with racist intentions, I will simply ignore the person or call him a white monkey(if he is white). If it's simply said with no ill intentions, I will laugh it off and reply with a nick name.

genq:
Shut the fvck up. This is why our women are bleaching their beauty away. As for me, I love slim chocolate girls and will choose a Lupita over a cardi B.

If someone's joke about your skin colour makes you change your skin colour then you must have a low self esteem and the inability to think independently and maturely. Ebiye meant no harm, intended no racism or hatred, and was simply getting some fun. You can only get offended if you insist on being offended.

Aladinn:
Let me use your mum for a silly joke and lets see if your skin is thick and not snowflakes? You must be living in a cesspit to know that jokes like that can end ones career. Go joke about LGBTQ in a civilised world if they won't crucify you. Many have lost their jobs due to silly jokes. If you are a comedian, you must have content that is not offensive. Or you for use Jesus or Muhammed crack silly jokes if people won't come for your head. Oga, stop forming thick skin nonsense, you're just plain silly and unintelligent.

Mr. Man, I created a topic on freedom of speech and expression. Check out the topic to know where I stand. Insulting someone's mother or joking about LGBTQ is a fundamental human right. It's called freedom of speech and expression. Using Jesus or Muhammad to joke is a fundamental human right. The fact that snowflakes/liberals/SJWs/religious extremists throw tantrums and call for the crucifixion of those who say or joke about things they don't like doesn't make such human rights invalid. Ebiye meant no harm and was simply trying to catch some fun.

Grow some thick skin and stop seeing offences where they don't exist.

ImaIma1:
Hey!!! So switching to upper case indicates what?

Please quote someone else. I am not ready to be insulted today... before you start singing your "intelligence vs dumb" song

Switching to uppercase is to direct your attention to the question I asked you. Stop pretending you don't know what I am driving at with the uppercase or you failed English in school?

Lol. As usual, saying irrelevant and unrelated nonsense and then running away. You couldn't even answer a simple question.

ovcwality:
Mr Martinez what are u still trying to justify, pls back off already and stfu

What am I trying to justify? Let's start from here.

PinkHealthGroup:
My brain is fully functional you self hating clown. You support the debasement of people with higher melanin concentrations because in your crooked, demented 44fked up mind you think they are lesser. Should be treated lesser, pointed out and made fun of like way Arabs and North Africans spit on Black people for having black skin. You're a low life mongrel. You should be shot dead and killed. 4Ffuckingg colorist scum

You are strawmanning and accusing me of things I never did despite clarifications in my previous posts. Good day, I have no time for obtuse internet maggots.

An 1diot has entered this thread. By her reasoning, you shall know her. Some are cursed to be unreasonable.

NB : I am not referring to lmalm.a.

ImaIma1:
How do you know it's real?

Did I ever say it was real? Don't try to divert, HOW DO YOU KNOW THE STORY IS FAKE?

PinkHealthGroup:
Grow thick skin about degrading another human being for existing in their Natural God given skin
...you should be shot dead. You are not fit to exist. Did Lupita create herself? Even if she did and chose her skin color why should you make her feel less than? Again you should be shot for being so fucking daft.

No one is degrading anyone except you insist that someone is being degraded. If you insist then there is nothing anyone can do. Even if he were, it is still he freedom of speech and expression.

PinkHealthGroup:
Martinez39 is a complete empty brained idiot. Low lives like him shouldnt have the platform to disseminate ignorance. Shaming Lupita for her natural dark skin when you never see any white person wear white face. What is wrong with him? Such a demented, trash hunan being.

I never shamed Lupita, show me where I did? You need to sit down and take conscious efforts to activate the higher centres of your brain so that you can stop reasoning like a castrated sheep. You have only one life to live, why waste it being a deplorable fool?

cococandy:
Hahaha so funny.

Rape is indeed such a beautiful thing to joke about. You win the internet

Where in my comment did I joke about rape? Cocosnowflake, can you please show me? You don't know when to be serious and when not to be. As far this topic is concern, there is no evidence that Ronaldo raped his accuser, so what rape should we be serious about? Or have you concluded without evidence, like the unintelligent, that Ronaldo raped his accuser?

AntiMCU:
That cococandy was either raped/molested in her youth.

The hate is not normal.

If any mod like, ban me.

She has the hypocrisy and selfish selective bias common to feminists.

ImaIma1:
Martins sit your butt down somewhere quiet and stop running round my mentions like a headless chicken.

I don't know why you are being touchy. Why are you allowing your emotions outshadow your reasoning. Your supposed intelligence is only good for running that toxic mouth of yours.

If it was a lady that put a story, your tune would have been different. When you learn to respect people...male and female, you will start to sound smart.

I asked a simple question, how do you know that the story is fake?

ariketalks:
Saying someone is "too" much of any attribute is an insult. "Too fat", "too skinny", "too tall", "too short", "too dark" are all disrespectful. There is a reason the word "very" exists.

How about "too intelligent"? "too good"?

@blue
In a bid to put up your sophistry when you could have just reasoned, you misinformed on the English language and typed trash.

Rubyventures:
And you think you are using head? I'm sure you love laughing to jokes at your expense? So using your head Lupita should be rolling on the floor laughing? I don't expect an answer and I wont be responding to you as its a complete waste of my time.

Sometimes foolishness is willful. Did Ebiye ask anyone to laugh? Is he forcing anyone to laugh? If a joke is at my own expense and it's funny, I would laugh or be silent but I would never attack the comedian for he has freedom of speech and I am not entitled to not being offended. Beside, the joke wasn't at Lupita's expense. Good day.

ImaIma1:
Gullible people will believe this hook line and sinker.

And since it's a lady in this situation and it involves rape accusation, watch how guys will dive into this thread and spill venom.

Different supposed and alleged rape stories will keep surfacing on this forum..

How do you know this story is fake? How? You just sit down and presume like an unintelligent creature. How do you know that the op's story is made up? Any evidence? Where you there?

Rubyventures:
And which standard set the ideal shade of black? , what's the cut off shade and what's the ideal shade?

Use your head jare. If I say someone is too dark, is that an insult? It's just a honest observation. Same way I would say Sheamus, the professional wrestler, is too white. People just pick offense where there is none. Your questions are unwarranted and useless to this discourse.

GogobiriLalas:
Am I the only one who finds this funny as hell?

I found it funny too but in a privileged world, people are soft and have the luxury of picking offence at inoffensive things.

Ayotemide:
Snowflake darling, go and 'undark' her; since we have decided to point out what is too much for an African complexion.

Being too dark is not a bad thing as much as being too white is not a bad thing. Ebiye just insinuated and joked with the fact that she is too dark, as simple as that. It was harmless fun except you insist on being offended.

KenModi:
From you comment, I am very certain you have no knowledge of history!

Hush my friend! I very well know that the whites in the '40s - '60s, and even later, smeared their faces with black paint/charcoal/chocolate to make racist fun of blacks. The "black face" doesn't have to be a symbol of racism against blacks, the intention and context of the person wearing the black face is all that matters. Ebiye meant no harm, no racism or hatred but was simply trying to catch some fun. Would you ban knives because people used it in the past to kill people?

People need to grow some thick skin and stop seeing offence where it doesn't exist.

Why do people take things too seriously? What's bad in joking about skin colour? This generation is filled with snowflakes and people really need to have a thick skin. The point of the comedy was that Lupita is too dark in complexion.

ImaIma1:
Another fable. SARS indeed.

How do you know it is a fable? Any evidence? Perhaps you don't like what you are hearing.

OP,
Yes they use rape allegation as a weapon and it is their last resort. Foolish weak men and white knights gave women this power.
