Whatever Wednesday: What Up With That?

I know. I should be better than this. As a black person, I shouldn’t make fun of my own people. Uptight, highly wound black people the world over probably cringe when they see this (which really just means Spike Lee is somewhere having a heart attack). It’s a mockery in buffoonery. It’s… coonery. Oh no. Someone call the Ethics Police.
Should I really be ashamed for loving this SNL skit that clearly not only pokes fun at the sad (but true) state of so-called programming on BET, but is the caricatured epitome of black preachers everywhere?
That’s right, Spike Lee. You sit down.
This sketch cracked me up! The outfits were ridiculous-the white shoes? I think my dad had a pair in the 70′s too!
I love Kenan Thompson to begin with, but the fact that he was paired with some of the best SNL has right now for this skit? Brilliance. I don’t think they anticipated it becoming as popular as it is.
Oh, and don’t get me started on the white shoes. Oh, my heart from laughing…
