“Eddie Murphy: Kill the White People” is a controversial comedy routine performed by Eddie Murphy in 1982. The routine, which was part of Murphy’s “Raw” stand-up comedy special, targeted white people with racial slurs and stereotypes. It was met with widespread criticism and was eventually pulled from the special.
Despite the controversy, “Kill the White People” is an important historical artifact. It reflects the racial tensions of the early 1980s and provides a glimpse into the mindset of a young Eddie Murphy. The routine is also a reminder of the power of comedy to both entertain and offend.
