From HuffingtonPost.com:

This past Saturday night, comedienne Wanda Sykes ripped into the lack of racial diversity atFox News on The Wanda Sykes Show, which airs on Fox. “So I’ve been digging around here and I found some old footage of black reporters on Fox News – you know, back when they were allowed to be on that network,” Sykes said. “Fascinating stuff – take a look at this one.”

Sykes then played a spoof newsreel showing a black Fox News correspondent reporting on “the negro perspective” of the Hindenburg crash in 1937. “To put that in a Negro perspective, those flames are higher than the bonfires that the Klan lit after the Emancipation Proclamation.”

    Richard Is and forever the Comic of all time; don’t care much for 2-5; The Wayans are good like them all (kim was so sexy/thin. especially when she donned those tight stretch pants on In The House; don’t care much for 6, but Eddie was great in the earlier films, and his recent ones are uneven; Bill is good (sometimes his comments lately hurt us, even if he;s right sbout SOME of the issues); Monique should get the Oscar and Gabe the other; Martin is a good actor and Bernie is too (he rolls his eyes too much for me); 12-14 are good, but 15 is wack; Jamie can do it well (rare) and 17 is good; 18 is o.ko, vut 19 isn’t funny to me; 20 is very funny; don’t know much about 21..sh’e too pretty to be funny; Red was the funniest ever on TV LMAO, and his comedy records is superseded by my man Richard; 26 acted gpood in the movie Dead Presidents; 29 and 31 were good; 32 is just a H-O-T-T-I-E, not funny; the rest are O.K…

    Some of you ignorant silly niggas are so disrespectful. For many years we have had great entertainers like Richar Pryor, Redd Foxx, Jamie Foxx, Dave Chapelle, Wanda Sykes, Bernie Mac, Martin Lawrence, Eddie Murphy, David Allen Grier, etc. Some of you are the biggest haters in the world because you never accomplished anything in your lives for people to remember you@CaliFemme and whoever else has something negative to say. If you don’t like it so much, then you get up stage and say a joke or entertain, or wait, you can’t because you suck!!!

    @Dark_Zero…Hmmmm, touchy touchy man, didnt mean to get your blood pressure all up! Why are there so few grown people on blackplanet? Why must you guys ALWAYS resort to PETTY, childish name calling when there are much better ways to get my dander up…really there are…But I digress, if that is the FULL capacity of YOUR brain Mr. ZERO then so be it. Once again I am so SICK of the word ‘hater’…Why is it when anyone disagrees these days its automatically ‘hating’ on someone? No, dear ZERO, its just MY opinion…I never even commented on ALL the people you listed, only ONE because in MY opinion Chapelle SUCKS and he isnt funny to ME. period. I’m not ‘hating’ on them because people will remember them…what I have done in my life (which you have no clue of) will be remembered by those that were/are closest to me because thats all that matters to ME. It has never been my life’s choice to be on stage telling jokes…BUT the people that chose to opened themselves up to EVERY criticism possible..incase you didnt know dear ZERO, thats called MEDIA. And im amazed of ALL the stories on this site that you could have been commenting on, you picked the ONE with probably the least tantamount point. Why dont you go voice your opinion in a forum with some intelligent change of feedback, or wait, you cant becuase you suck!!!! LOL
