I guess that White people should be out gunning for that Redneck comedy trio on Comedy Central as well who make fun of the uneducated and illiterate populations in the Mid-West United States.Oh wait..they aren't as successful so it is not a problem.
To me, this is a complete doublestandard. Comedians , almost ALL black comedians have poked fun at their culture and community and race relations in America for decades. White comedians do the same thing. Asian comedians as well, what about Carlos Mencia (sp?) on Comedy Central who makes fun of his Mexican, Puerto rican and hispanic cultures? Self Deprecating humor is a legitimate form of humor and has been for centuries. Now when a black individual becomes highly successful doing just that, suddenly it's wrong.I really don't get it. True, Chapelle's comedy IS mostly poking fun at black people. Be that as it may though, forcing Chapelle to stop his show, or change his comedy which is as he has portrayed it and himself for several years isn't the right way to go about it. Instead these billionairres and millionairres should put forward their own show ideas that portray a positive image and try to also find their way into millions of homes around the world and in America in particular. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:188872 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
