rudegyalchina:saturnineaqua:micdotcom:Watch: The parodies of Juno, Silence of the Lambs and James Bond are even betterIm sort of getting really damned tired of seeing racism framed this way. Hannibal Buress did it with his “cops need yoga” skit, and it rubbed me all sorts of wrong. the only people that are actually laughing at this shit are white. because it frames Police in their oh so favorite “ those silly Pig buffoons” way, without actually tackling racism. the only comedian that was able to get the REAL point across was Chapelle. everyone else is trying and failing hard, and making comedy just as terrifying as real life for black folks. all these new shows with black comedians and youtubers in them have this same “laugh at the cops and not the folks they’re killing us to protect” framework, and nothings’ funny about the shit because there is literally nothing funny about black people NOT being able to do anything. 1:cant be normal2: cant be superheroes3:cops are “silly”4:*laugh track* end scene^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -- source link
