DL Hughley CNN Show Challenged by Black Prof Boyce Watkins

[MrSteven2945]

Its just go to show how black ctors/coon artistry will do anything to stay on the air a lot of them have no intregrity whats so ever and its gettin worse by the minutes look at the shoe '' Meet the browns" by tyler perry if that aint' a throw back to the 30's and 40's ..what the fuck.. what wont they would do to stay in Hollyweird..I think what one of the other blogers said is right thats why we encounter problems in the work force because other races think we think like what they see on tv

[fdsaks]

I do not respect D.L...period. He is not funny and he is too efiminate for me.

[Thedarksecret1]

I actually like the "Black in America" series.

[filmtress]

White people may have a few strenghs but thinking is NOT one of them.

[fdsaks]

@filmtress Really. How long were we slaves? Jim crow? Conquering other nations? You need to get your thoughts straight and articulate your points better. What you said made no sense.

[shewillful]

I am so GLAD to see intelligent comments against DLHughley. He wasn't funny on BET's ComicView in the 90's. He was AWFUL in SoulPlane (and Brothers?) movies, too. When he repeated the DonImus comment on Jay Leno, that ended ANY support I would ever have for this fool! Great job, Prof Watkins!

[redbonegal]

I didn't expect too much from CNN given the fact that all their black achors looks white or nearly white exception of Tony Harris. I saw an ad for CNN where it appears they lightened his skin tone. Choosing Hugley CLEARLY shows how out of touch they are. The "black in america" series was a joke.

HATER..HAAAAATERRR

[602HVACtech]

most people understand that u cant just sprinkle some magic dust on some of issues in america an they will magicly go away, humor is good maybe itll losin up some of those zombies out there that think funny is ignorance

[smokintheblaze]

the way how i seen the show was that i did not take the things he said serious. in fact, the things that he says that people calls sensitive happens everyday. so i learned how to not find it offensive but on a level. the show has its funny shots, on a serious tip, but it wasn't as funny.

[Geezyone]

DL' s show is entertaining in a Daily-Colbert-ish way. Stop the hate

[mightyblack1]

We have alot of these black Entertainment fools with MIcs and they mean our community no damn good.You have one of them that's doing something worth while with they're show but this person overdose on foolishness too.CNN is pissing on black people,and they're no better than BET.

[70goldtop]

I went to catholic school in the 70's and was taught black people are called "Negroes"....I love it.....I'll never change!

[snowonweb]

lol oh pleeeaaase. Instead of supporting each other blacks are going at it. WHY?

[bigbabyboy2000]

it's as though blacks are being stereo typed....get a real news journalist: this is an joke......damn stop talking down about people in general d l.

[PRHousequake]

It's a coon show.D.L has been on this ish for too long. I lost all respect for him when he joked about the "nappy headed ho's" comment.

This is why people all over the world think they are better than us and disrespect us. It's bad enough all we see is negative images on the nightly news and every other movie. Why do we have to do it to ourselves (you can add Flavor Flav and tons of other names)

[808Lana]

PRHousequake, that was very well spoken regarding the DL lunatic here. I saw the comment on the basketball team ( he said they had nappy hair, ect). Did he really need to do that? Was it funny? Maybe to non blacks it was hilarious, but I felt hurt and let down that a black man would take center stage to say how ugly his own black women were. Don Imus said that's what black men do & he was right.

[McCallan18]

Wow. I just watched about ten minutes of DLH. Phew. Where to start? Well, it was so painful to watch ten minutes was about all I could take. Awkward. Embarassing. Just an absolutely horrible show. The black/white schizm humor is soooooooo tired and old. So tired and old. You could clearly see that people in the audience were shifting in their seats, wearing pained smiles, and visibly uncomfortable. I mean it was obvious. This was a terrible idea. Bad decisions all around, you got that right.

[McCallan18]

BTW, you don't need to start a campaign to have this show canceled. It is so awful I'm quite sure it will die a quick and natural death.

[mightyblack1]

DL need to stick with his day job and I don't give a damn about his feelings and CNN need to give Roland Martin a show and dump DL .CNN shame on you for putting this boot licker on the air.

[106harlem232]

I saw the show 4 the 2nd time last night and I agree with ur comment. CNN needs to give "Roland Martin" a show.

DL is good at comedy shows not the news. The only thing I like about his show on CNN, is his clothes .

[vford43]

D.L. recently made a comment that "BW hate to see BM with WW but love Barack Obama". D.L., Barack Obama wasn't raise by a black man, Barack's father only planted the seed, typical of a black man. Barack was nurtured by his white grandfather. D. L. has joined a list of insecured brothers who is afraid of BW elevated on the world stage. Ex Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, so many others. Thank God Barack wasn't raise by a BM, we all would lost and confused!

[tezzgod74]

Its a different day man. I agree with Boyce. It's time we get serious people. Everytime I see another brother standing around, Im like "What the fuck are you doing?" Get off your ass and do something. It's time to represent people.

[Tweetsofly]

the show is highly offensive, cnn should definitely pull the plug on this one...

[BurntCatMedia]

How anyone can find that show funny is beyond me... nothing but tired and over used stereotypes. The show was inbred.

btw I am not African american, this piece of garbage offended my sense of humor.

[seneuj0424]

I LOVE DL...this guy needs to relax and burn one or have some sex...DL on cnn was so hilarious i thought i would bust a kidney and pee i laughed so hard...good humor while exposing the ignorant is very funny...with all the mud slinging coming from both republicians and democrats alike who couldn't stand a bit of political humor...Professor Watkins, you need to write yourself a prescription and get a good laugh or all that constipation is really going to get to you...oh too late

[cgaskin99]

Screw DL,

[cgaskin99]

If you dont get it by now you never will. Just dont have kids.

an overwhelming response shows that black people are upset about the negative ways they are being viewed since they are the minority we cant all be shown as pimps and gangters because professors like you will clinch their purses, exit elevators or not hire because they think you are going to be like these jokes you laugh at. if you want a good laugh go to the comedy channel. Thanks Boyce go to hell DL

[cgaskin99]

by an overwhelming response it looks like black people are offended and want to be taking serious especially at a time like this. i am proud of Boyce Watkins for speaking up like so many has because ignorant people (Mccain/Palin Supporters thinks that shit is funny. If you dont get it you probably never will, just dont have kids sir.

[mrcutup2000]

you are such a fucking hater i am a professor of a university and it was funny, most of my co-workers are from the east and they laughed their ass off! no need for stuffy people like you, i really dont understand your argument, are mad that hes on CNN or that the show wasn't funny..by an overwhelming response the show was funny!

[BurntCatMedia]

"such a fucking hater" "I am a professor of a university"

...there goes my faith in the united states
