Non-white comedians can say more, sterotype more, more often, and get away with more than whites can. Further, I would offer a vast majority of white comics avoid race, while black comics play to it. I would assume this has to happen more on BET, at least, since there are more black comics.

It sounds like you don't really listen to enough black comedians to actually know much about the nature of their material. If you did you'd know that most of them spend more time making jokes about their own race rather then whites unless their playing to a white audience where their more likely to make comparisons. White comedians do the same thing. You are just making up assumptions. And look, nobody has accused you of anything for your baseless generalizations either. So there you have it.
