@hiphopmayor There planning on doing a special on fox later this year, if it does well, there might be a season 6, of course it wont be the same cast but. Keenan will be writing and directing the show again. Hopefully there will be guest appearances by the origional cast
I think that it's possible to conform to society without any other blacks labeling you an an Uncle Tom or house nigger. It all has to do with the attitude and how you carry yourself. One can play the white man's game and match his standard, abide by laws, and look and speak respectfully in the right arenas, yet still maintain their cultural identity as a black person. I only call people Uncle Toms when they are stiff as fuck. It just depends on the individual really.
@MetaversalSouljah i agree, its no different than say children of immigrants from other countries who get accused of not being 'real' enough simply for being raised in america. but when people shoot thier mouths off like alan keys or herman cain and all these so called 'black republicans' i always end up thinking of the brothers brothers lol.
@msherls The sad thing is too that guys like Spike Lee had alot to say back in the day when it was relevant. Now that so much has come true what he has fought for...he still is fighting that war and it is not needed. One, attacking Tyler Perry for his characters. Spike Lee needs to learn how to celebrate his culture, not try to hide it it like he is ashamed.
I heard this yesterday on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, trying not to LMAO in front of patients. This just brought me back. This skit is so funny because they're so oblivious.
@msherls You said that perfectly. Even if what you described may be as Afro-centric race roles, they're still race roles that force people to conform to them. (And ostracize people who do not conform to them.)
With that aside, I can relate to this skit, since I have a family friend who's black and went to prison for a crime he didn't commit. (Long story!) All he learned was how to package meat products... And I had no idea there were meat packing plants in Florida!
I'm black college student, and I love these skits...In honesty, these guys are sellouts, but the Wayans put a lil' comedic twist to it...So we can laugh at guys like them
The ironic part about this is that the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour became iconic for challenging censorship and the accepted standards of good taste, while Keenan & Damon spun their act into a parody that showcased the "Toms" as glaring examples of soulless assimilation. It's simultaneously brilliant AND sad on multiple levels.
I don't care who you marry our what you buy.. I don't care what ethic group you are its good to no your roots that's all I have to say.. Love this skit
@msherls A successful/lucrative/happy life can come without getting a nose job and marrying a white woman. There is also a "Script" that comes with being successful in America. And some of that script is forgetting who you are, not helping your own people, changing your looks etc.
I think this is one of those skits that they didn't have a message or a focus other than to make us laugh. So I don't think they are making fun of either...they are just taking what they think would be funny
There is too much hate and anger behind your comment. It's much easier to just sulk in victimhood instead of carrying yourself with a personality of class, optimism, and polite behavior. If you want results of a fair and just society, blaming life on color will not produce them.
You know damn well we don't air our dirty laundry out for everyone to know. If we wanted everyone to know what CP time stood for we wouldn't use abreviation..gosh damn...
I'm auditioning for this show this week but watching old clips-I can't even imagine my characters being as GRAND!
