“Stop talking down on Black folks!”
This is by far the #1 whine I hear and see all the time online being directed towards individuals who are simply stating what they see within certain segments of the Black community. I have met more than my fair share of Black folks who are oftentimes very hesitant to state the obvious when there is the remote possibility that Whites are within earshot. This is why I find it interesting that when these same things are being said on the comedic stage, all of a sudden its alright.
The following is a video that I put threw together over the weekend. It provides a very good example of how “beating up on Black folks” can be so funny.

Thats my favorite Chris Rock joke!… I saw him recently say though that he caught a lot of hell for that joke. I think he said he wish he never did it because of the blowback. I love it though and completely agree.
