Would the joke have been as funny if the "black" man was just "guy" on a crumbling porch? Why or why not? Does it matter that these are two older white men? Are there critical differences (historical and in the sense of humor) between an English and American audience that might make the same joke satire in Liverpool and troubling in Atlanta?

I find it utterly staggering that anyone finds this racist...you're missing the point of the humour by so much it's frightening.

Doea anybody know when this was recorded? They must have been among the first to analyse correctly? "Wondering"

Its called satire mate, they're pointing out that millions of poor and vulnerable people (many of whom are no-doubt black and unemployed) were exploited and driven into debt in America by the stupidity and greed of speculators and mortgage brokers.

Maybe the humor comes from the "expert" being the racist. Perhaps unfair, but perhaps true... Remember who's being parodied here...

You're right, but nobody was forced to take out the loans. Poor folks of any race went into these deals willingly. Foolishly, but willingly.

It's what happened. Nothing racist about that. Racist is driving the poor black unemployed man into debt and bankrrupcy by lending him money he could never pay back by betting on his house gaining value by the time you took it away from him.

No. It isn't. Listen again. You are missing the point by a country mile.

Well ... they did get a bail out ...and can carry on much as they were ... so in good times profits are very high ...in bad times the Fed or Bank of England bails you out. Good business to be in?

"Unemployed Black man on a crumbling porch somewhere in Alabama." I find that insulting and a bit racist.

Hell, I'm rude, but like you, I judge 'em as I see 'em.

You are absolutely right. USA is a Nanny-State. But no need to be rude and name call.

Jewish International Bankers Usury is still at full gear. RESEARCH IT. The evidence for it is OVERWHELMING. Jewish media is hiding it from the brainwashing main stream media. No wonder there are so many anti-jewish people. The jewish elite is behind it like they was behind it in 2nd World War Germany. The Zionist bankers there financed Hitler who might himself been part jewish. Funny thing is that whatever conspiracy i research the jews always surface. Why is that? Ask yourself WHO HAS PROFITED

Why not knock your house down ,sell the bricks ,your neighbours can buy the land thus converting their homes to semis ,which would fetch a premium in your area which sounds soo anty nimby [who wants neighbours] As an incentive you can tell them you will otherwise let it to canibals Grants could soon be made available to contribue to housing stock reduction Remember your home is at risk if you take this advice seriously, seek professional help first.

Dumbass, it's not capitalism, it's the fascist government keeping the mortgage hucksters alive. If capitalism was truly in place, the mortgages guys would have to absorb their own loses.
