I can never advocate for making black people's business a source of entertainment for white folks. But, some women do enjoy putting shyt like this on front street, sooooooo

Lol damn. SNL made a hard right turn. Normally shiit is halfway funny. This didn't sound well thought through or developed

Meh.
- Tina Fey wrote the pilot episode in 30 Rock where Tracy Jordan took her to Harlem for lunch and told her that the white man was putting AIDS in chicken nuggets to kill off black people
- She also wrote the dialogue about famous black men in Hollywood be made to wear a dress to emasculate them.
- She wrote another episode where Jack Donaghy brought Tracy to a country club to c00n for a TV exec

1. This was seriously unfunny (like 99% of SNL skits).
2. It was for the wrong audience.
3. Even if it was funny, you’re not ‘allowed’ to make fun of black women unless you’re a black woman yourself, and even then that’s risky.
Collectively (let’s keep it real), they’re too sensitive for self-deprecating humor. Well, not back when I was growing up but this generation is too sensitive. Any slight is taken as “misogynoir”, “colorist” or “patriarchal”.
It’s just better not to even address them at all.

You can't laugh at everybody else with no jokes on you

Nah not cool and I’m gonna stay on code for this one. I’d die laughing if In Living Color or Black Woman Comedy Show did it but these are jokes on a show with a mostly white cast performed in front of a mostly white audience. fukk that. It wasn’t even tongue in cheek or smartly done. I remember back in the day weekend update had a racist uncle character. Those jokes are the kind of things you have him say and then get called out, ideally by a sister with natural hair sitting right next to him disproving the stereotype in real time. IF you have to try to go there.

Since maya rudolph is done now,I don’t watch any clips unless it’s the Dude currently playing trump.dude funny af with that spot on trump impersonation
Same thing The Boondocks creators basically said. With that being said fukk SNL.
Glad I live in DC where a large % of BW wear their natural hair. I don't find this funny but it's not entirely off.
You absolutely right. It’s not off at all, but it wasn’t a joke for a white audience. Just foul. Smdh
