I don’t think Murphy is comparable. Besides the fact he said that 35 years ago, what racist guy said was on a podcast. I watched the clip in question. It sounded to me like a dbag guy saying shocking racist crap and laughing about it. It was not, as far as I could tell, part of a comedy sketch. Nor did it seem to me he was lampooning someone/something or doing any sort of satire. It was just using racist language without a punchline.
I’m all for anything being ok to laugh at. Up to an including child molestation and rape jokes. But just being a racist prick and calling it comedy isn’t the same thing. There’s always a line.
