We're right back to the Don Imus situation; this time in reverse. I agree the performance ending was a good thing. I'm Black myself; but I am sick of Black comedians thinking that using this dehumanizing label towards us is funny. And then wondering why it's so bad when a White does it. It's a bad process that continually feeds upon itself, with no end to it. "It's okay for me to behave in this fashion; but you shouldn't". Our false bravado will be the undoing for the Black community.
