You’ve got to be shitting me:
For shame SNL. If they couldn’t find a person of color in the SNL cast to portray Obamamessiah, they should have outsourced.

Why do they insist on denying that he is half caucasian, effectively denying the womynhood of his mother.
Comment by maggie katzen on 2/29 @ 12:59 pm #
technically speaking shouldn’t SNL have found a half “African-American” actor. why ignore half of Obama’s background?

And yet I don’t remember a whole lot of “minstral” complaints when Billy Crystal danced with Jesse Jackson as Sammy Davis Jr.
Have those “journalists” completely lost their minds? Oh, i forgot. Only one aspect of racial enetertainment history is to be conmsidered and used as a cudgal to beat all the racists into submission.
Buncha maroons…

The very fact that you can’t see the racism of this situation is proof that you are, in fact, racist.

Excuse me, but that’s “Halfrican”.
Comment by BJTexs on 2/29 @ 1:05 pm #
Maggie: They need to get a half Kenyan black to play Obama. Anything else would not only be racist but culturally insensitive.
I’m also going to take an off the wall guess and say those two “journalists” are white.
What do I win?

Fauxbama is gonna get his non-black ass assassinated, sounds like.

That’s what I said at Hot Air. If Maya Rudolph comes back, she can play Obama. Like Will Farrell played Janet Reno.

Yeah. We had to change our school team name from the Fighting Bushmen.
How about if we said “Barack Taboo Obama” (no offense to Bachman-Turner Overdrive)?
Or: “Barack Who’s Sayin’ Obama”? Or “Who’s Sane”?

From now on, only blacktors get to play Othello.

ooooh, Dan, that brings up so many other controversies. the most recent has been here with the Dallas Opera doing Porgy and Bess. it caused problems for the full-time choristers. and the two productions of Figaro I’ve done have had a black Countess and not black Susanna. admittedly it’s dark in the garden but, really? perhaps television is less forgiving.

Nigaro?

That Fred Armisen does a pretty good Obama impression is apparently irrelevant.

there’s (comedy) GOLD in them thar hills! go! go!

Yeah, I recall great disappointment when I watched Onegin in the Metropolitan and one of the farm girl singers was black.
Whaaa? In the 19th century Russia?
How dared they? I almost left the performance right away.
Seriously though, those “fake racist controversies” including middle name “shameful” use just boggle my mind.
What’s wrong with those people? Did any of them ever grow up past their adolescence?

I love Gogol.

Sheetz rocks. I’m going to have to run down there and try one of these frikkin chikkin sandwiches. It’s only a mile and a half away.

You know, the only reason it was hard to believe Denzel Washington and Keanu Reeves were brothers in the 1993 Much Ado About Nothing is because Denzel looked like a man despite the lace and tights and Keanu SO DIDN’T…
So Armisen is Asian and talented, but next season he’ll lose his role to a black guy regardless of talent. It’s like college admissions!

Identity politics is our good, good friend. Embrace it, you racists!

In tribute to his new honorary whiteness, here’s Fred as everyone way cooler than you knows him, playing drums in just about the greatest band ever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJKrWeuRJUA
Unfotunately, the quality sucks, you only see him for a second, and it’s from about a year before they became just about the greatest band ever. Even with his being famous now, they’re too cool for the internet.

“But in 2008, Obama isn’t just any politician or celebrity.”
Yeah, actually he is. The manufactured outrages (fauxtrages?) don’t change things.
Comment by Belvedere jones on 2/29 @ 2:18 pm #
And the frickin’ complainers can go to heck, ’cause I don’t give a shooby-dooby.
