The best part is he said "WE are a bunch of racist"


I cringed when I clicked on the link Danny DeVito speaks on the Oscars controversy but I loved what he said.

Michael Caine, not so much.

There's more to diversity than people with or without brown skin.

Comedy in an imperfect society is going to be watched and laughed at.

So, I'm saying critiquing people laughing at SNL is sort of like asking people to wait for a perfect society before they get some laughs.

Yes, some imperfect white people in an imperfect show are going to have skills to make black people laugh in an imperfect (yet effective) way.


It's just going to happen, been happening all my life, so far.

One skewers white racism. The other perpetuates it.

And YouTube views so in the end race wins regardless.

They really kept hitting the nail on the head.

And no surprise after the initial surprise.

I'm not hating - it was fine - it won't be part of Best of SNLs showcases over the next 25 years though.
