Cryme Time on MLK day

[seanwalsh]

You know they'll show up tonight and continue their crazy antics.

Nothing would make Dr. King prouder than a bunch of black guys acting along stereotypes created by old white men who get laughs out of it.

It's all in good fun. I laugh and personally am happy I have something to represent me on television. It's a little overboard, but that's what a gimmick is supposed to be.

Put it like this, I'd be more offended if there wasn't ANY thuggish black dudes on television.

Yeah, they're just playing to what today's black youth strives to be (not in ALL cases, mind you, just popular culture). If it was offensive, it'd be a Kerwin White type deal, where Shad and JTG change their names to Shadwell Shadsworthy and Johnathan Tucker Garfield III, Esquire, and cut promos on all the "bawdy little negros running to and fro" today.


.............crap I hope Vince didn't read that.

Here is my opinion:
Thuggish Black Guys on TV: Perfectly fine
Thuggish Black Guys who perpetuate every single Black stereotype ever created: Bad

I think that Shad and JTG would represent just fine if their characters were a little more realistic, like Ron Killings' character or something.

[algertman]

Shelton will show up and complain that he has to work today.................DAMN!

I know what you're saying, but their characters were made to perpetuate all of the stereotypes. It's not as if they tried to make it realistic and failed. They even came right out and told everyone that CT would be living up to stereotypes for humor. Now, if they tried to play it off as if all black folk were like that, that would be offensive.

What about Coach? Will he do anything besides the predictable McMahon/King comparison verbal blowjob?

[Sajoa Moe]

I'm guessing they'll have an MLK impersonator talkin' jive and saying n***a over and over, in a skit that will last about fifteen minutes. Then he'l put on a FUBU jacket and ten pounds of bling.

And then cryme tyme will kick him in the face, and it will be unfunny, just the way MLK would want the problem solved. with violence

Then Shad boots Rosa Parks out of her seat on the bus.

[backstagepowers]

Yay. I like Cryme Tyme too but I hope they don't go overboard with this.

That would be funny.

BTW, n***a isn't censored anymore. But i'll take a guess and say that if we start abusing it then it will be.

Then when King's house gets the bomb threat they'll run in and start looting while everyone's not looking.
