Ultimately the use of any of these phrases is just a display of ignorance all around.

Everyone can find something to be insulted over. It can be sexual, as bible thumpers only want their kids to listen to music from Christian artists, it can be over violence, or it can be race.
I'm sure in one way or another people can consider you ignorant as well.
Most of us laugh along with Dave Chapelle when he makes jokes about race. How this is different? How is it different from calling Wayne Brady really white or having Negrodamus giving people advice?
If these comedians are all ignorant, then why aren't there massive protests against them from the black community?
Here is a sampling of Negrodamus' jokes (played by Paul Mooney):
Q: Negrodamus, will Arnold Schwarzenegger ever divorce his wife?
N: Yes, Arnold Schwarzenegger will divorce his wife and marry Shirley Temple Black, and she will be called Shirley Temple Black-Negger.
Q: Negrodamus, will Arsenio Hall ever have a show again?
N: Yes. Arsenio Hall will have a new show called "Good Morning, Black America". It will be played at noon throughout the country.
Q: Why do white people like Wayne Brady so much?
N: White people love Wayne Brady because he makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X.
