For Fuck's Sake Already

I wrote HERE that the fact is, black people are funnier than white people. Sorry white people, just how it is.

And Saturday Night Live is supposedly THE standard for mainstream, pushing-the-envelope weekly sketch comedy; it is the dream of thousands of funny people around the country to write and perform on the show. It's budget is second to none.

And yet they insist on patronizingly keeping the number of black cast members to 1, pretty much at all times. And then I guess to make their own point, they somehow select the one black person in the whole country who has never been seen saying anything even remotely funny in public. Fucking baffling.

fair(skin)'s fair. after all, look how well Jim Carey did as the only whitey on "Living Color"...well, the only one who really said anything in public. or maybe there was a funny whitegirl comedian.
