It's written by a white guy and a black guy and nearly every sketch is pointing out how different races are all the time. To me that's racist. I like the show, think it can be funny but to go on that much to me feels like racism. For someone to have how different races are on their mind all the time is someone who has racist views. The two writers were friends and were not saying one was better than the other but something just isn't right.
Not haters, offended people. Even if the add isn't racist it's inconsiderate and the fact that the makers couldn't see that (they probably did) shows they are as cold as ice.
Sony got exactly 1 complaint from within the dutch borders yet american international policing made them put it down and that angers me. Dutch and probably europeans were not offended and yes, we have plenty of coloured people here.
The people from that group fighting for black people's right's just bring this under peoples attention to further their own goals, to get in the news. They themselfs are likely to be just as racist/biased towards white people as the kkk is towards black people. They brought it to people attention in a way that makes the add racist. Every article about it opens with 'sony has racist add'. Alot of people don't even try to make up their own mind after reading that line. They just jump on the bandwagon.
Its funny you mention Chappeles show since I was just thinking about that today. I saw this show on mtv where 2 (mostly black) teams have a comedic battle of improvisation, or atleast they say its improvised. Some of the things said on there about white people don't offend me cause i see the humor in it but if a white person would say the exact same things about a black person all hell would break loose. Same with the majority of black commedians or black 'rap' movies. They can say things about white peolpe that we would never dream of saying out load about black people because they would get offended. That's messed up in my view.
