[pat venditto]

wow so young. r.i.p pal

[jjgold]

Strange death

Did he have aids?

[Teela]

Wasn't it yesterday or two days ago that they said he was responding well to treatment?

I guess "responding well" is a nice way to say that he'll be dead soon.

[Bread]

This looks like it was a very sad moment in Bernie's life.

Strange death

Did he have aids?

That would be my guess.

This should be a wake up call to you and any other Craigslisters.

Holy shyt this was out of no where!

Was a funny guy.

Watch the movie Mr. 3000

When you have enough money to live on for 20 lifetimes,you quit everything.

The guy had to have had enough money to live 20 normal lifetimes on.So why keep being a celebrity where you are told to have a schedule.You are told what to look like,where to go,when to go,why to go,what to eat,what to say,who to kiss up to,who not to be seen with.You get the picture.It all creates stress and bad health!Brett Favre will find that out.Favre is in great shape but he will most likely not have a long life span.All the hits,hectic schedule,performance stress etc.will take it's toll.

A famous person is better to just retreat and be annonymous.Live a great life and don't give a damn about anything.Never do anything you don't want to do.Never do anything you are told to do.That's how you live a long happy life.

so nuts, I saw it on the scroll at CNN. He has been sick alot, he on the crack pipe or was he just sick? He was so funny in that Friday movie with Chris Tucker and Ice Cube.

[bigboydan]

I didn't see this one coming at all.

Bernie Mac Dies at age 50



He was one funny man, sad to hear he past away.

Bernie Mac dies at 50
Comedian Bernie Mac died this morning in a Chicago hospital

By Kelley L. Carter and Glenn Jeffers | Tribune reporters
9:43 AM CDT, August 9, 2008

Comedian and Chicago native Bernie Mac died early Saturday morning from complications due to pneumonia, his publicist confirmed.

Mac, 50, had been hospitalized for about a week at Northwestern Hospital, according to his spokeswoman. A few years ago, Mac disclosed that he suffered from sarcoidosis, a rare autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in tissue, most often in the lungs.

The comic born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough could cut an imposing figure. He stood 6-foot-3, was built like a fullback and carried himself with a bouncer's reticence. But perhaps the strongest weapon in the Chicago comedian's arsenal was that voice, that amalgam of thought and a delivery that could rise like a tidal wave, outpace a Gatling gun and remained, to his last days, loud and unapologetic.

He wasn't scared, he told us time and again, to tell anyone what he thought, to say what others were afraid to say. That fearlessness wasn't always welcome, considering Mac didn't get his big break until his 30s. But when he did, the comic skyrocketed to success in stand-up, television and the big screen.

the black community must be really mourning today. they loved this guy. he was their hero. they looked up to him. he was nominated funniest black guy in america once. he's always on BET doing stand up and the audience is just in tears when he goes up..

It's a very sad day today for the brothas and sistas and alot of others.

[daggerkobe]

He was just another sellout who moved to Beverly Hills with the white folk.

[Bread]

He died because the Obama camp reprimanded him for telling some off-color jokes and one of his events.

Don't mess with Obama.

[hoopster42]

yes, he caught it playing with Magic and Kurk Rambus. too bad he didn't have access to funds to buy the good meds. died a broke fukk with 16.5 kids

can you please provide proof that he "died a broke fukk" please?

[hoopster42]

He was just another sellout who moved to Beverly Hills with the white folk.

oh, so because he's a black guy, he needs to live in a crappy ghetto project area just to earn his 'street cred'?

god forbid a guy want to move to a nice area because he made his riches, that makes a ton of sense

[daggerkobe]

Hey, I'm just speakin for da black community that don't take kindly to sellouts.

[hoopster42]

yes, he caught it playing with Magic and Kurk Rambus.

[HAPPY BOY]

Funny standup, I was doing the hedges wife came outside to tell me. Shocked. R.I.P

[JoshW]

Seems way to young to die. RIP

[treece]

Wow what a shocker, I guess he won't be in Ocean's Fourteen. Complications from Pnuemonia is a nice way of saying AIDS. Eazy E had Pnuemonia right before he died but he admitted he had AIDS.

[BrentCrude]

Yup,my thoughts exactly,,,you had the guts to say it 1st!

I wanted to add that to my post where I said his work killed him.In reality when you live in Hollywood,you should get the hell out of town as fast as you can with your fortune.Occupational work hazards are AIDS,drug overdoses and suicides.Then the Hollywood people will lay the guilt trip on the whole country like Liz Taylor does.I would like to sit her down and tell her that her Hollywood friends are the favorites in the future odds pool of dying of AIDS because of their behavior while us yocals from the sticks are like +5000000000000000

Some people don't believe in trying to find new ways to live off of public assistance of the projects. Its obvious your racists and on foodstamps. Isn't it embarassing to pay with those or do you have the debit card?

Also, Bernie Mac had a strange lung disease, that was supposively controlled, that might have worn down his system or contributed to these problems.

[daggerkobe]

Who cares.

you must be talking to "kobe"...lmfao

anyhow...lots of haters in here...he was living with a disease...anyone hating and cracking jokes about someone dying at 50 would be the same type of person who would curl up in a ball if they were diagnosed with a uncurable disease

I know I know....as long as you got your directtv....your shot of whiskey....and ur bet on the game who gives a **** right??

I mean why appreciate life??

you'll wake up tomorrow....its guaranteed
