Can a comedian just be a comedian without being a "black comedian?"
You know the type that's on some BET Comic view shit.
Epps is funny but to Hollywood he is a "black comedian" who only does "black movies" and "black jokes"..........He appeals to a smaller demographic. Chappelle stays true to himself.
I'm sick and tired of black folks bringing each other down because we aren't all telling jokes about government chesse and getting whipped with extention cords. I thought variety was what made us such a unique people.
