    It was just a white guy making a "white" joke. He failed to realize our humor just isn't the same.

    Their "funniest" comedians would get boo'd like crazy at the Apollo.

    Actually, pretty much ever white comedian I've ever seen come through the Apollo has gotten a lot of laughs. That's not to say white comedians are funny. It's just that the ones brave enough to go to the Apollo know to be on their ? .

    Well wadda know, the black IC has 'no ? given' lol Its obviously not a 'fire him' big deal, but yall bein so dismissive of this is funny.

    He was suspended a year or so ago by ESPN for sayin black athletes were overrated, while tryin to hype jimmer freddette as the best prospect

    Also, in DC i see this all the time from white coworkers that are new to the city and not used to bein around and taking direction from nggas-they use fake humor/sarcasm to mask that fear, uncomfortableness, and in worse cases racism and superiority complexes.

    One of those times when you forget you aren't joking behind the scenes. Not a big deal though.

    George Carlin would murder any stage he stepped on.

    Used to tour with Pryor too. That's how he got his role on Car Wash.

    Im pointing out the psycology behind it. To me its fascinating-how the most 'mundane' words can give a glimpse into how people really feel. Its called Statement Analysis if you're into that sorta stuff...

    Gottlieb should've said, I'm here to bring the theif's perspective... since that ? stole from his dormmates while at Notre Dame
    Gottlieb Charged in Credit Card Theft
    Jurisprudence: Former Tustin High and Notre Dame basketball player faces up to three years in prison and $10,000 fine if convicted.
    September 13, 1996|CHRIS FOSTER | TIMES STAFF WRITER

    Doug Gottlieb, a former Notre Dame and Tustin High School basketball player, has been charged with felony theft for allegedly using stolen credit cards to purchase nearly $1,000 of merchandise, St. Joseph County (Ind.) prosecutor Mike Barnes said.

    Gottlieb will surrender voluntarily Monday in Indiana and make a court appearance Tuesday, according to Barnes. Barnes said no warrant has been issued at this time and bail was set at $5,000 bond or $500 cash. Gottlieb faces a possible three-year prison term and a fine of up to $10,000 if convicted.

    "We reviewed the evidence and filed what we believe is the appropriate charge," Barnes said. "There could be a wide range of penalties. It can be treated as a misdemeanor at sentencing if it's deemed appropriate at that time."

    Bob Gottlieb, Doug's father, said the incident stemmed from pressure Gottlieb was experiencing at school. Gottlieb will attend counseling sessions, Bob said.

    "Unfortunately Doug made a serious mistake in judgment and he realizes it," Gottlieb said. "He has sent checks for restitution and called each of the kids involved to apologize.

    "He was in a very difficult situation in South Bend and we thought he was handling it well, but apparently he was internalizing his emotions and feelings and it built up."

    Gottlieb, who left Notre Dame in June, allegedly stole credit cards from three students who lived on the same dormitory floor. He purchased about $950 in merchandise from a sporting goods and jewelry store and bought dinner and gas with the cards.

    The three students reported the thefts to a Notre Dame official after receiving bills. The matter was turned over to the South Bend police.

    Gottlieb played in 27 games, starting 23, as a freshman. He averaged 4.6 points and led the team with 154 assists. He has enrolled at Golden West College, but said he will not play basketball this year.
