Has Black Comedy Become a "Hot Ghetto Mess"?

Posted By: M Smith on September 19, 2007

Alright, I'm not gon' name no names, but you see those folks degrading themselves on TV and in the movies just to get a laugh. What happened to classy, clean comedies...is the majority of today's Black comedy simply a hot, ghetto mess?

Yes it has, I'm tired of s*x jokes and the over use of curse words. yes some can be funny, but it's getting to be too much. I love Who Got Jokes. you can finally hear good jokes/routines without all the cursing and the s*x stuff. Thanks TV1 for this show.

I can't even watch most of the mess on t.v. now. I think we as intellegent Black people deserve better programming and must demand better. I believe we are being used and should refuse to continue watching the crazy things that are offered by White executives. I feel sorr for Ms. New York, she is a hot ghetto mess and doesn't even know it???
