When someone makes racist jokes, take it seriously. There's not a forum where it's okay to make racist jokes. I've also been high as shit and I used to be a comedian and I've never told a racist joke while high as shit. It really isn't had to not be racist.

Nothing about what he said was racist. He was making a joke with a guest who was black. It was well received by the guest. Clutch your pearls harder, lol

Strange that a lot of other people seem to disagree here.

Also, I'm not sure why you think you can't make a racist joke with a black guest or why you think a black guest must necessarily not like a racist joke.
