On offer is an interesting, unattributed, undated 21-page notepad of an African American stand-up comedian written sometime after 2008 (from references to President Barack Obama), this stream-of conciousness, rather profane narrative gives an insight into the hard-scrabble life of poor, inner-city blacks. For a social or urban historian, these jokes gloss over the grim realities experienced by many who inhabit a partially-hidden underclass. Replete with references to sex, it also includes some interesting observations about policing in inner cities.
