20711, RE: When is comedy just comedy?

Although I agree that there are some shows on televsion that make us black folks look like fools sometimes I feel we are too hard on ourselves. Why is it that a black person who does comedy like Jamie Foxx is called a buffoon but it's okay for Jim Carrey to act like a damn fool. When will comedy just be that comeday/ Why does it have to represent the whole black race. Nobody criticized Married with Children for making whites look bad but they are quick to attack various black comedies as making all blacks look like bufoons. Has anyone seen Drew Carey's show?
He'a a coplete buffoon but because he's white his show is considered great comedy. If that was Martin they'd call it nonsense.
