I was expecting it to be lame because of soft racism where blacks’ achievements are exaggerated much like how one goes over the top in praising a preschoolers finger-painting, but that was a really very funny sketch.

Thanks, Debbie.

I just saw the other videos you posted. These guys are great.

I like their humor, but I’ve heard these guys interviewed and they are some upside down, wacked out libs to the core. Big time.

Never heard of them before but that was funny, you could see it actually happening years from now. Sort of reminded me of the Wayans bros. In Livin’ Color theme.

Ha, ha. It’s even funnier if you’re a closet racist.
Until you remember who’s wearing the pants that is.
Gender role sentinels probably don’t get disoriented like that though.

Go to the inner city and everything about Blacks is always opposite of American values by choice.

The Chosen One on June 23, 2013 at 7:55 pm

There is an additional point made by the video. Many inferior teachers, including those who are Black, place more emphasis on ‘controlling their classes’ than on really teaching anything. This teacher is clearly limited in intelligence, but is strongly committed to controlling his classes. Aside from the exaggerations in the video, he would probably be regarded by many in the education ‘profession’ as a good teacher.

You would think he is ridiculing the silly (“Least likely to succeed” names), but this is liberal humor ridiculing “honky” names. That is the modern black humor.

I do not find this particularly amusing.

AR on June 23, 2013 at 10:43 pm

That video is priceless. I first saw it a couple of months ago and still laugh about it today. However, I can see how some people may not find it funny and thus did not send it on to those people…

Hilarious…

Aye aye Ron.

I can understand the thought behind it, but, I didn’t think it was funny. Not offensive, just not funny, kind of like something from the guy at work that tells the lamest jokes. It was something lame, trying to poke fun at something even lamer.

Ironically I’ve actually seen this in real life. I do have to say that it was funny, but kind of sad. Thanks once again Debbie.

I am a white guy from Chicago. I did eight years in Hawaii with the Navy. In Hawaiian language (or at least the transliteration thereof), every letter in every word gets pronounced. After a few years in the islands, I drove past a hand painted sign in “the Country” (northwest side of Oahu), that said “Male Goats, $40”. I was puzzled what “Ma lay Goats” were. After a couple miles down the road it occurred to me that “Ma lay Goats” referred to their sex as in “male goats”, not point of origin or other adjective. The process of cultural assimilation can have unexpected manifestations.

Key & Peele’s first Luther video is funny too.

Holy shiite, that is farking fabulous

Jack on June 24, 2013 at 11:56 am

Unbelievable Pat, how can you turn a funny skit into some political b.s. Its not ridiculing honky names, its actually goofing on blacks and the ebonically pronounced names people hear.
Lil Al, who would deem this character, thats right a character a good teacher?, They’re obviously showing the teacher’s ignorance. Amazing, just enjoy the joke. lol

As always when “black culture and unique names” as an issue comes up, I wonder why the Utahns and/or Mormons are forgotten. Why are they exempt from the scrutiny that Shaquita and Licious and LaToya bring about? My favorite entries from the Utah Baby Namer, authored by a married couple from Utah, compiling all manner of names from the Beehive State (state bird of this landlocked state: seagull).

Girls: Chinchilla Zest, Cimemthymia, Jarna Nazhalena, Mormon Miracles, Qylci, Superstar Five, and X Y Zella.

Boys names are a bit less precious, but still of note are: Admanzah, Bridger A-10, Chevrollette, Daxson Ekewaka, Knight Train, Quejah, Synjyn, Treckqulind, and Vernal Independence.
