Black Comedy


I was listening to a Black stand up comic the other night. He was absolutely hilarious. However as I sat there laughing a part of me said, "Hmm! If this were a white comedian talking about black folks we'd call in Al Sharpton." Isn't that a double standard? We can talk about white folks but they can't talk about us. Many black folks feel this way. It's almost like the white man owes us. He's done enough so this is our pay back.

"Nappy headed hos" was a racially motivated joke. I did not like it. However is joking the white man being dumb and slow for trying to tame while animals any different?

I don't want anyone calling me out of my name. Then why do I have the right to do so because some one's ancestor was a slave owner (maybe)
