Bernie Mac had been around for years, but when I first
really took notice of him was – ironically – under a Hip-Hop platform.
“I ain’t scared of you mother f***kers,” Bernie Mac screamed at the Def Comedy Jam audience.
I loved his style.
He was a rebel. His comedic routine was for his fan base and he refused to change it to fit in the American norm. He made the other side come to him and he was hugely successful for his ability to be audacious, but thought provoking as well.
People should understand that Bernie was a total father, husband and family man. I am hearing his family is hurting. I am hearing that even is TV family is in tremendous pain, because Mac was such a great person.
So, we mourn. (Read the news story here.)
But let’s also celebrate, if possible. Bernie Mac made so many people laugh and escape the daily stress and pressure of life. He made us laugh until our stomachs hurt, until tears streamed down our faces.
His favorite phrase was "Kick ass" and that's just what Bernie Mac did every step of the way as a comic.
He’ll always be alive due to the quality of his life and efforts as an entertainer.
Our prayers and thoughts are with his family and extended family.
Here is my introduction to Bernie Mac and several other videos to celebrate the life and times of Bernie Mac. (Parental Advisory – explicit lyrics and content.)
