Rest In Peace - Bernie Mac

Publicist for the family of Bernie Mac has confirmed that the beloved actor/comedian passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital.

Bernie Mac, 50, worked his way to Hollywood success from an impoverished upbringing on Chicago’s South Side.

This is a very sad day America.

I always loved the way he would speak to “America” from his favorite chair on The Bernie Mac Show.
