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

How would Tina Fey even know that much about black women's hair?
  • 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
Tina knows and writes a lot of racial humor. Even that gay brotha in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. That was HER show, too. If she's still at SNL, it wouldn't surprise me if she produced that sketch.

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.
