Grew up poor south.. raised by mom... played the sax and had charisma...That bullshit started on the campaign trial... Long before his scandals took root.
Notice you never mentioned one thing pro black in your description...
Notice i also didnt mention one thing criminal or morally bankrupt like you did...Notice you never mentioned one thing pro black in your description...
You are going to tell me that Neil deGrasse Tyson sketch isn't hilarious?
Well thats when they named him an honoary brother, matter fact many so called black comedians mentioned it in their acts..
I'm sorry but they're just not funny.
How many comedians does this man kissing hater like?
For BGOL to preach black unity and support you dudes sure support alot of hating ass neegas.

Even if you don't find it funny, their ability to get Tyson down pact is very impressive and to me very funny... Lets face it Neil deGrasse Tyson isn't a easy guy to imitate..
I just told you where/what it stemmed from. Yet you insist on saying other wise in efforts to criticize blacks. When you dont know, its called ignorance. When you do know, its just stupidity. So stop saying stupid shit.
.. And comedians, work in comedy... So they say shit with the purpose of making you laugh.

If you talk to comedians they will tell you sketch humour is hard! They have to dumb down the sketch to get their point across regardless of the audience. Key and Peele are lowkey showing black comedians that you dont have to coon it up to make them laugh. Just gently poke fun at white folks ignorance And you will be paid lol. Alot of their sketches are nuanced in a way upper class whites can relate and therefore dont realize that they are being roasted. They also push the boundaries of what a "black comedian" can do. You have to read between the lines. In many ways they are more militant than academics in that they have created avenues for employment and advancement for other comedians rather than simply begging....
All while making fun of white folks, i say they are brilliant.

and for those who didn't know Toni Morrison did an opinion essay where she talked about the controversies going on in clintons presidency and the level of disrespect he faced from the republicans:
After all, Clinton displays almost every trope of blackness: single-parent household, born poor, working-class, saxophone-playing, McDonald’s-and-junk-food-loving boy from Arkansas. And when virtually all the African-American Clinton appointees began, one by one, to disappear, when the President’s body, his privacy, his unpoliced sexuality became the focus of the persecution, when he was metaphorically seized and body-searched, who could gainsay these black men who knew whereof they spoke? The message was clear: “No matter how smart you are, how hard you work, how much coin you earn for us, we will put you in your place or put you out of the place you have somehow, albeit with our permission, achieved. You will be fired from your job, sent away in disgrace, and—who knows?—maybe sentenced and jailed to boot. In short, unless you do as we say (i.e., assimilate at once), your expletives belong to us.”
Essentially she was saying that Clinton, the president of the US..was being treated like any nigga on the street. That essay is where it basically started.
It is where it started but the common reference to Bill Clinton being the first black president has nothing to do with how he was treated. Instead it's about eating ribs, playing the sax, and fucking in the Whitehouse.
Let's keep it 100% real;Key & Peele appeal to a certain white audience because of what they aren't which is like the typical black comic so they use that by making fun of stereo-typical things they think a lot of black people do and in many ways they are cooning with the over exaggeration,dramatization of the whole "black act".
It's funny to white people that a black person wears a du-rag on their heads,to protect their hairstyle,hat from sweat...ect but they would never hint to that because that wouldn't fit into the silly way they wear it.
I think Key & Peele could be funny is they were allowed to have total control and push the line's on all group and impersonations,including white's but I know that that wouldn't fly over too well so Comedy Central were looking for that replacement to Dave Chappelle's show and Key & Peele aren't Chappelle because remember Chappelle got his start learning from Comedians that were street performers with buckets to collect change,the apollo theater...ect, so he's a well seasoned comedian who knows how to appeal to both sides;white and black while still remaining funny because funny is funny at the end of the day.So using him was a bad example.
Black people loved Richard Pryor but so did white people because there's a certain humor in the truth and when some comedian is telling their truth's.

not sure how old you are but plenty of Black folk thought In Living Color was on some cooning shit back then. The shit they did was not widely accepted as comedy gold. It was as much hit and miss as key and peele is.
Wish I could say I was shocked of their selection of women
That Negrotown skit ...Would a country in Africa be considered by white people as "Negrocountry"? Black people, please wake up. Anything that white folks let you do within the context of racism/white supremacy is meant to strength the system and their position as individual white people. It is not meant to weaken the system.
Please pay attention.
Kefta I think you really missed the point. You also do realize that 'Negrotown' isn't possible in MOST African countries b/c white / Indian / Asian people run shit socially / economically / politically right? So Negrotown could actually apply there as well too. You're basically looking for a place like Zamunda (the fictional Black Panther country)... Actually I'm too lazy but someone can make a thread listing the over 50 African countries and who runs things in that country in those three spheres... We'd all be suprised / depressed.
Really B... Really? So now cats on BGOL want to call out black dudes for shacking up with white chics like all of a sudden that's your 'blackness barometer'? After all the shit on this website, and all the posts of guys espousing their love of white broads on here???
I'd just let that be a stance in general. IF you Marry, Date, Fuck a non black broad you are a race traitor and a sell-out to your race with each category being a higher level of selling out. Let the coon call-out thread begin. Let's be consistent BGOL!
Wait what? Please explain or support it with evidence... But I guess 'plenty of black folk' could really mean 5% of the black population in America so maybe you're right...
thats not what aries spears is saying..and yes I remember ILC.
open question..when a black person becomes successful at a thing, particularly if they get attention from whites or nonblacks...why is their "blackness" always questioned??

Agreed. They touch on this a bit here (37:31)... the whole talk is pretty good.
Man these guys are more than just comics they are pure genius and if anything you have to respect them for being so bright...

Everyone is entitled to opinions, I guess that's why they say black folks aren't a monolith, and why without a true religion / language / culture to connect blacks in America will always be hard to push an 'agenda' politically...
The same way we have a thread to push who's black and who isn't, where you have to post your skin color, we should either change that to posting something about you that defines your 'blackness'. So in this case proving your girlfriend / wife is black. Or maybe even even some posters can show how they carry hot-sauce in their man purses... Just something that proves blackness... That was my point when I posted this in that thread:
Looks like he got that sugar. That don't explain the him rocking that same dusty fitted since madtv or the fact that his collar looks like it was ran over by a 18 wheeler. Dude looks broke and bitter
1st why are we listening to aries spears?
2nd key and peele entire show was basically dissing white people. that was really the entire show. lol

i'll repeat the question:

I know it doesn't happen to every successful black person but it happens enough to deserve speculation...

Zamunda is the fictional African country from Coming to America. The fictional African country from Black Panther is Wakanda.
