I really liked this special. Paul Mooney is hysterical. His delivery is perfection and his stage presence is masterful. He commands the audience like NO OTHER! Very, Very, Very funny stuff.
I did however feel that Paul came off as somewhat bigoted towards white people as a previous reviewer noted. I am a very liberal person and I am ALL for knowing your history as an individual and ethnic group, but I felt like Paul (at times) seemed almost TOO rooted in the anti-white sentiment for me to fully root for him.
Don't get me wrong, I cracked up. In fact, I had tears running down my face at moments. So, as a stand-up routine he earns the high marks. I just disagree with his views that ALL white people are racist and was even insulted by Sandra Bernhard reitterating that ideology in her little cut-to interview segment.
Paul's comments about bringing America back to Jesus Christ were a little hypocritical seeing as his language choice isn't very Christian in verbage. For a so-called Christian to get on a stage and spout profanity and attitudes that are hateful and bigoted is very wrong-at least in my opinion as a Christian individual. Also, how do you stand up on a stage and tell people to find faith with Christ and then the next second tell people that DNA has proven that humanity can be traced back to one African American woman over 10,000 years ago? Isn't that kind of against the whole Adam and Eve theory? If you are going to walk the walk, you have to TALK THE TALK in that sense. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION THOUGH! :)
my overall opinion of his comedy is very high. I loved it. It was hilarious. But, I do think Paul should wander into new territory as a comedian and not dwell on bashing us Caucasion folks. I know white America has some nut-jobs, but every race does. Trust me, We aren't all bad!! I think that dwelling on negativity only creates more negativity and I feel like that is the end-product of his words. We need to move on as a nation and be unified, not segregate ourselves more than we were in the past.
Bottom Line: LOVE PAUL'S COMEDY; Dislike the reverse racism.

Paul Mooney is in session. Leave your misconceptions at the door. Come on in and get ready to be educated. You may not hear what you're used to hearing but you will be hearing the truth. Funny, laugh out loud truth. Is it comedy? What is comedy? Will it make you laugh? Yes. Will it make you uncomforable? Maybe. Should it be missed? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Class is in session.

Hilarious 2008-03-23
Few comedians can stir up controversy like the legendary Paul Mooney -- writer for Richard Pryor, creator of In Living Color's Homey the Clown and featured guest on Chappelle's Show. With his characteristic brutal honesty, Mooney passionately and hysterically charges into the electrified currents of racial tension. In this magnificent standup performance at Hollywood's Laugh Factory, Mooney earns a standing ovation with his relentless no-holds-barred observations on black history, stereotypes and prejudices, living in White America, celebrity divas and much, much more!
Paul Mooney-The Truth and The Light Have never Been So Funny!!!! 2008-01-24
Paul Mooney in this classic is funny as hell in an intellignet way, some people would get tired of him talking about race matters but in this world and time we can't forget that everything is race related! Very entertaining as he examine stereotypes and says the things that you want to say but don't have the guts to. I love Paul Mooney and you will too just view it with an open mind!
It is what it is! The truth hurts sometimes and Paul Mooney knows how to tell the truth! 2007-11-24
Bravo, Bravo, Encore! Paul Mooney is the greatest of all times, he is funny, witty and hilarious all rolled up in one. Controversial but who isn't, the only difference from him and other comics is they sugar coat their view/comedy but he holds no punches. So what if he offends people, he is speaking the truth so if you are offended by his words then maybe you need to change because he is probably speaking about people like you. If you want to laugh and get the raw reality of life in a humorous but serious way, you should get this DVD, it was great! Loved it.
Paul Mooney is the last of the great comedies 2007-11-16
I hate to admit it, but I'm a 31 year old black woman and I had only heard of Paul Mooney from Dave's show. With that said; I loved his comedy act, he spoke of a lot of things that really make you think. I really loved the fact that the camera's continued to show a young white couples uncomfortable experience. You actually sensed that his act was ofensive to them, but other nationalities seemed very amused with he act. Paul insist that George Bush is the devil and compares him by saying that all three of his names separtly adds up to 666. He is up in your face and challenges peoples views on important issues, but this make him great.
I you don't like his work then you must feel ashamed or embarassed about something that you've done. I know that some may continue to question the Jesus race, but the truth of the matter is, how many white people have dark skin with hair of wool?
A bit disappointed... 2007-07-23
I was a bit disappointed for the fact that Mooney reused a lot of the same jokes from his "Analyzing White America" stand up. I was hoping for a bit more originality from Paul Mooney but aside from that it still had me rolling and I respect the fact that he tells it like it is. No matter who walks out on him ha ha ha!!
