Response to Carlos Mencia

I don't take any of the things that Carlos Mencia said as offensive. Everyone says these things, but Carlos just says it publicly. I would take it offensively if he didn't speak about as his own heritage in a negative manner. He speaks about every heritage, race, or gender. He speaks equally about everyone. He called whites "trailer trash" and Hispanics (him being one) "spic's."
But I am going to have to disagree on his view of lowering standards of education. It has become very difficult to keep up in school, let alone get into college. My parents tell me all the time how they wouldn't be able to handle my work load and how much more work we have to do than they did. I believe that some people have special circumstances in their learning abilities, some people are slower than others. Yes what Carlos Mencia does is comical but people might take it offensively. I enjoyed the first video Take a Joke America much more than the other one. It can be taken in different ways, Mencia's style, but he is a comedian that you either love or hate. You will either take his comedy as offensive or just laugh about what he says disregarding how it pertains to you.
