That’s crazy. AverageBro (AverageBro.com) just blogged about this today.

I saw some clips of the show on Dimewars, but couldn’t make it through them.

The whole idea of giving D.L. a show was a train wreck to begin with. “Negro, this is CNN not BET. Get it together!”

I told you that D.L. was gonna dwell on race? And why? He is a true testament that “Favor Ain’t Fair” (a church saying). For him to be illiterate until his adult hood and STILL manage to make more money than cats like me with 1 1/2 degrees shows how God can help anybody.

So, D.L. needs to chill with all that race whining until he walks in my shoes for a day.

They probably would have been better off acquiring the right to Chocolate News David G.

I think the D.L.’s show was absolutely disgusting! As an African American I am so ashamed that another African American would disparage his culture when so many Blacks have fought and died throughout history to overcome such stereotypes! Calling this comedy is insulting to any decent human being! Categorize this under “Birth of a Nation” and Minstrel Shows!

Shame on you CNN to allow such a program! You have done a great disservice to yourselves and ALL Americans!

Ok I cannot believe I am going to say this but I too did not like the show, but not for those reasons listed above. Zack, the benefit of education is being educated and people become educated through a variety of methods not all of them are through college. I say this as someone that teaches at a major university.

I would also like to say that race jokes have a place. It is ok to joke about race and laugh at people. Stereotypes are funny. But CNN is not the format for this type show! And more importantly as an African American I felt nothing but anger that D.L. would put forth that image of Black people on a news network during a time when we need non-blacks to not get hung up on stereotypes. This is our civil rights movement. When Barack says that this is a movement he means it. We have to stick together and not give non-blacks any reason to question or fear this change that is coming.

I just don’t find D.L. funny. I never found Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence particularly funny either. If someone decides to not vote for Obama because of this, then they never believed in him in the first place. I don’t support Obama for any other reason than he’s a Democrat. I know a lot of folks feel the same way. If Obama was a Republican saying the exact same thing he’s saying now, you would treat him like you did Colin Powell and Condi Rice, like sellouts. You are just as partisan as I am. And most of this country is the same way. No unfunny tv show starring a black comedian is going to change that.

I don’t want to spend too much time on this because I need sleep so I will try to make this brief. I am not partisan, I am black. Now call that what you want but that is what you read. I support Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice. I support Black people, poor people, historically disadvantaged people. And not everyone “believes” in Barack. Not everyone “believes” in politicians. I am not a Barack kool aid sipper. Juan can attest to that. And we will need the vote of some nonbelievers, in order for Barack to win. So Yes, a black comedian making an ass of our people on a reputable news source is a potential problem.

I thought CNN was a news network. Now I remember why I haven’t watched them in years. I have tried them all and keep going back to FoxNews. I do check in from time to time with the other networks to see what kind of garbage they are shoving into the minds of unsuspecting Americans. The mainstream media has a liberal agenda and journalism has died. I see this show as another attempt to shove someones values and lifestyle onto other people. This is not mainstream America. The African-American Community has much more to offer but the liberal left media does not support the best of what Americans have to offer. This is another example of the far-left brainwashing that is taking place in our country. There was time when people were encouraged to question authority with respect. But unfortunately innocent people are made an example of if they question authority or potential future authority (just ask Joe the plummer). You would think this Russia with what the media has done to this guy for asking a question we all should have asked months ago. You should question why a news network would sponsor this kind of garbage. To take a position of apathy and not question why a news network would think a criminal that abuses women (pimp) is funny is truely unAmerican.
