I am a 47-year-old African American female. I grew up in Los Angeles watching many African Americans comedy shows. Usually seen in the appropriate stage or arena for black comedy. I am the first one to give praise to my African Americans doing positive work. At the same time, I will slam them hard if necessary., D.L. Hughley breaks the news, I felt extreme humiliation while watching his show on CNN. Especially now while the first African American have a good chance of actually been the President. I felt his show was very repulsive and stereotypical toward African Americans. To be honest, I never thought D.L. Hughley was funny or talented as some of the other comedians Like Chris Rock and Cedric the Entertainer are. Both of which are extremely talent, political savvy and hilarious. Why CNN didnt consider one of these comedians in the first place. Perhaps CNN have some hided agenda to make African Americans look bad and using D.L. Hughley as their fall guy or Uncle Tom to do what they cant do without looking like the Fox racist News Channel. Its sad that D.L. Hughley is too ignorant to see how this isnt helping our race but in fact hurting us. This show belongs on BET or Comic view not CNN. I am requesting CNN take this show of the air immediately.

  • If you're offended by this and say it's not accurate.. The only aspect that's not accurate is the clothing.. The ideas behind this whole meltdown was due to lending to a majority of black people that couldn't pay for their house.. And black men running the top ends of the scam. Thanks again for your great contribution to America! Oh and you can hate on the white genes in Obama if it makes you feel better. He's going down as the worst president in American history. And I didn't like Bush.

  • lmao.. your sad. read this crap you wrote.. evil and hate. you need some holy water.

  • I watch his show once and that was enough for me. It wasn't worth watching more than that. Good move CNN.

  • OK so DL Hughley's show went for what...3 months? They say he wants to spend more time with his family so he quit.

    WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!! you don't think Larry King might want to see his family after as many years he's been on prime time cnn? America is fucking racist thats why this show was cancelled...he didn't quit. I was so surprised when this show first aired, but it doesn't surprise me that it got cancelled. This is simply the facts. Dont believe what stupid fucking media tells us.

  • It was cancelled because he was Boring and CNN finally woke up and saw that this guy really haven't any talent to be hosting on their channel. lol .. Don't stop there CNN, Let's try Chris Rock or Cedric the Entertainer some real talent.

  • I mean, DL ins't top of the line comedy, but why does the only black guy ever to host a show on prime time CNN only last for a couple months? Thats what i'm getting at.

  • Like i said, this guy was a bad choice.. he was boring..

  • "DL Hughley Breaks His Career While Breaking The News!"

  • Agreed, TheGoddessNetworks. You still have some people on here that can't even see the light. Shameful. They think that any brother getting his own show without considering the context is crucial.

  • looks like Ashey Larry

  • cedric the entertainer is funny and talented but is NOT AT ALL as political as D.L...minus the jokes and steretypes there is nothing more real then politicans being real hustlers and pimps..its just being brought out in a metaphorical type of manner that is offensive but all so real...is it meant for cnn? prbly not but we seen what chris rock (who is very funny and talented) can do in the past..hence the reason why he doesnt host the oscars anymore

  • BRILLIANT

    excellent

    insightful

    genius

  • sad!

  • BINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! STOP COONIN! SMH

  • I cant even finish watching this video. I'm sorry...

  • Coonism!

  • Dl H is a joke.. and im black. He is the reason why blacks dont host shows...

  • my sister, it is totaly unfair that you disaprove fox's critisism of president obama. You are saying critisism of the administration or obama is racism. Bush was called names by his opposition, can i call obama names and not be a racist?

    pretty much all of my black friends are fox news listeners, because they see how obama is like pelosi, reid. he is a radical and there is no way around it!

    black americans are free of mainstream racism nowdays , white people elected obama not black americans

  • I am not niave, just conscious of how Blacks are incorrectly percieved in society.
