Now reading all these comments, and news reports, all I can think off is, “What a waste of energy!” Bernie Mac is dead and Obama is president. Now who is it that put Bernie Mac under the bus? The joke was funny. All of you uptight, negative, sore losers would have laughed your wigs off in your living room. Why should it be any diffent in public. Bernie Mac was himself and was not afraid to be himself. Obama becoming our president isn’t putting anyone in their grave, and if he doesn’t do a go job, then don’t vote for him in four years. Troubling times are never fun, but they inspire the truly great people in the world to strive to make a difference. That’s life.

When talking about Bernie Mac, what can I say…anyone that can make you laugh without using profanity, (which if you were a fan you would know his shows are clean) at the realities of a world we all live in, is pretty darn talented not to mention truthful. Perhaps those who sit at home and forget what is going on with our nation and feel good about heavily judging others, you truly have a great deal to learn and contribute to this world we live in. America is hurting, we are facing illnesses, famine, poverty, job security, security in general and so much more and if you look its right around the corner from where you live, you don’t have to travel to far to see what is going on, you just need to open your heart, mind and eyes. Comedians step into our darkness and fill it with joy and laughter, and it is a talent and incredible gift that they give to all humanity. Do not judge someone that has contributed so much and has proven himself as a man and family man for what you are perceiving as a bad joke…we all have those days. As a last but perhaps first thought…anyone with a serious illness called to help out and not feeling well cannot be expected to be at their best. We have learned that Bernie was not the type to complaint, instead someone to admire for his incredible strength despite what he must have known where his odds with his illness. I hope that this evening that people can’t stop criticising him for, is not the reason for his hospitalization. It would reflect poorly on the type of people we as a nation are. To give so much and be judge so harshly is truly sad. It was a joke people, maybe not the best but a joke!!!! In case you are wondering, I am white and a conservative. I miss this man and mourn his loss, as if he had been close kin. I will miss your funny face, huge talent and beautiful smile! God Bless you for I know he loves you dearly and may he give strength and comfort to your lovely wife and daughter!

It’s not so much the fact that Bernie Mac jokes are like that, its the fact Obama talked to him like a hypocrite , which he is. He disagrees and agrees all at the same time but Obama should shut up, Mac raised money for him.

I was glad that Obama felt Bernie Mac’s jokes/language was inappropiate. It was vulgar, crude, and unfunny. I believe that Obama felt that Bernie would at least, for once, show a little respect for this fundraiser and clean up his jokes and language. But I guess that was expecting too much of this comedian.

Man, I guess the news that Bernie Mac is dead now caught a lot of you by surprise huh? Just remember, life is too short to keep pointing the finger when we feel disrespected. Bernie Mac was one of the best comedians in this cruel world, & we’ll all be less happy because of this loss. I pray for his family, & hope you all can look in the mirror & promise not to point fingers at people, knowing that we all have opinions on whats a legitimate joke. REST IN PEACE BERNIE!!!! WE LOVE YOU, GOD BLESS
