This is so horrible. I had some bad feelings about his condition a few days ago when the rumors about his death came flying around, but what had been reported about his condition was that it was serious and that there had been no change from his admission. Why do all of the good people who bring us joy die so soon?

Nevertheless, he left us with a lot of great comedy and wonderful memories. Rest in peace Mr. Mac.

I love you Bernie

I cant stop coming back 2 this thread.Its so unreal...its like waiting 4 somebody 2 say its not true...

He'll be missed. . .

Unnecessary to say the least

PleasurePrinciple said:

That's not how I read that. Some ppl aren't fans of every celebrity or even know who they are. He's basically saying "I wasn't really a fan of his, but it's sad that he's dead"

Bernie, my brother, you will be missed.

R.I.P. Bernie Mac.

thank you

PurpleRighteous1 said:

But why even say that? Or say just that, "I wasn't a fan but . . . " It just sounded kinda insensitive since he just died.

SCNDLS said:

Probably b/c he didn't think anyone would take his words in a negative light. I don't know a lot about Horatio, but to my knowledge he doesn't say bad things, or things that could be miscontrued as bad, about ppl on or off this site.

Just because we think Bernie Mac was the funniest MF alive doesn't mean everyone else received his comedy the same way. And just because we think he's hilarious doesn't mean that when he dies his comedy must be praised by everyone. I know that's not what ur saying, but because we love him so much we subconsciously expected everyone to praise his work like we do and that was a little unfair. What's so wrong with "kinda funny sometimes"? Sounds to me like he said "I didn't really get his comedy, but I enjoyed it sometimes" rather than "he wasn't that funny anyways"

I really didn't expect to read this first thing in the morning.

RIP Mac man.....

I didn't say any of that, I'm just saying *I* didn't think it was necessarily appropriate, regardless of who it is. He JUST died. It's not that big a deal, really, I just said my

SCNDLS said:

I agree...it looked like a backhanded compliment 2 me and if he wasnt a fan he coulve said his R.I.P and left

SCNDLS said:

I know you didn't say any of it. I tried to put that in my post. It's cool I was just coming to his defense b/c I really felt he was misunderstood and I know how that feels.

Your family, friends & fans have my deepest sympathy.

"America"...I am & will always be a fan of Bernie Mac's sense of humor. He made me laugh, to the point of giving me a headache! "Wassup"?

This is so sad.

so it is definately true.
seems too young and a mundane way to go at that age.

Damn. Probably the only comedian I've ever seen that NEVER gave a bad performance. Ever. Always had me laughing in every movie I've seen him in. I'm gonna go listen to "The Pope" just so I can here his classic "I ain't scared of you muthafuckas!" - I loved that line. R.I.P. Bernie.

He was really funny actually.

I read about this just a few mins ago and am still in shock. I can't believe he's dead .

RIP Bernie, you'll be missed

Holy fucking shit. This is a tragedy. The guy was so young.

Black men, get your heart checked.

I am shocked and saddened by this news. Prayers to Bernie's family.
