Bernie Mac, born Bernard Jeffrey McCullough, was a true gem in the world of comedy. Born and raised in Chicago, he had a tough upbringing, but he used those experiences to fuel his humor. His comedy was raw, real, and relatable. He had a unique style of comedy that was both edgy and warm-hearted, a combo that's pretty hard to pull off!

He started his career doing stand-up in Chicago's clubs before making it big in HBO's "Def Comedy Jam." His iconic "I ain't scared of you..." line is still quoted today. Bernie's humor was fearless, he wasn't afraid to push boundaries and speak his mind, which is part of what made him so special.

His success in stand-up led him to Hollywood. He was part of the "Original Kings of Comedy," a stand-up tour and film that also featured Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, and Cedric the Entertainer. Bernie also had a successful career in film and television. His role in "The Bernie Mac Show" was beloved by many, and he showed his range with roles in films like "Ocean's Eleven."

But what I think made Bernie Mac truly special was his heart. He was known to be incredibly kind and generous off the stage. He used his success to give back to his community and help others. His legacy in comedy is undeniable, but his impact extends beyond just making people laugh.

Bernie Mac left us too soon, but his humor and spirit live on. His ability to make people laugh, his fearlessness on stage, and his big heart are all part of what made him a legend.

"I ain't scared of you muthafuckas!"

—Me, to the bigots, channeling the late Bernie Mac, z"l

I don't talk about this a lot, but being Black and growing up in Klan country, then getting my post-secondary education at an HBCU, followed by coming into my queer identity as an adult has given me some unexpected blessings.

One of the main ones is that bigotry no longer shocks or frightens me. The illusion of safety was shattered for me early on. There are people who would hurt me because of who I am and only seek an opportunity to get away with it. That's the background noise I've lived in my whole life.

On top of that, I'm a gender non-conforming Black woman in the United States, and for all the ways that misogynoir interrupts everything good in my life, one thing that's been driven home to me over and over again is that nothing I say or do can change what people assume about me because I'm a Black woman, so there's no point in trying to contort myself to fit in whatever little box they want to put me in.

So when it comes to antisemitism? It's too late, Jew-haters. I'm already vaccinated. And I get regular booster shots from antiblackness, misogyny, and homophobia. You don't scare me. At most, you irritate me because you're constantly buzzing around me like a fly or mosquito, and I'm just over here trying to eat my food.
