"Once again, under the guise of being “comics”, some pathetic African Americans are mistaking self-deprecation for-self-degradation."
Dear friends,
I was channel surfing late Saturday night (8/17/13), when I stopped at a program called Comedy TV or something.
A young black male comic named Billy Dee Washington had just come on. At first, he actually sounded funny mimicking someone who told him that when they go to a comedy show they don’t want to think; rather, they just want a laugh. That was, apparently, supposed to be some type of prelude for what was coming. I should mention here that his audience was all European American.
At any rate, the aforementioned comic went on to say “I just found out that my great-grandfather was a runaway slave...he ran away because my great-grandmother was a bitch.”...The European-American audience halfheartedly laughed. In other words, even some of them found it offensive.
When I was talking with one of my daughters ,yesterday, she mentioned that Russell Simmons had come out with a tape call the Harriet Tubman sex tapes, and that Spike Lee and others were incensed..
Once again, under the guise of being “comics”, some pathetic African Americans are mistaking self-deprecation for-self-degradation. In this short interview below Russell Simmons tries to explain away his self-hatred and disgraceful lack of consideration for African American people, although he likes to collect our dollars.
Additionally , stirring people up by using controversy , for the sake of it , is a very negative , poisonous approach to creating union between people .
One Love!
