Hughley on other shows like Glenn Beck and Larry King Live, and I was impressed with his thought-provoking political commentary. I was pleasantly suprised that here was a comedian that actually seemed to have some political insights. I\'m a news junkie and I love CNN, so I was looking forward to his show. It was not only not funny, but disturbingly offensive. I couldn\'t believe the Freddie Mac skit....like black entertainers still feel the need to roll that kind of stuff out on national TV. I was disappointed because I do believe that D.L. Hughley can do better. I don\'t believe we can just "blame the man." He himself said he was wanting to do a late night show and was shopping around. This show was just horrible. <br><br>I did not expect him not to make jokes about Barack...I don\'t think Obama is off limits, but even the SNL Obama variety show skit was funny. His stuff just held Barack up for ridicule and played into those same old-style caricatures...and that was disappointing.<br><br>I don\'t even know if they can retool the show...He was in front of a live audience and he just seemed to look uncomfortable, it didn\'t seem natural, as you would expect a comedian to be in front of a live audience. <br><br>And then the inclusion of real CNN personalities just seemed stitled. Like CNN was trying to shore up the show with legitimate journalists and commentators. It just didn\'t work. The shows format and offensive content, and style, just didn\'t seem to be a good fit for what would be considered a typical CNN viewers. <br><br>I won\'t be watching again....and I don\'t even have the space to talk about Chocolate News which I had to turn off when they started the No Child Left Behind sketch...that was so offensive...I had to say enough!!!</div>\

Unless we boycott these shows, those networks will continue to make money from us (figuratively) because we give them (CNN & Comedy Central) the pass.

They are to me the Amos \'n Andy of politics.  <br><br>I don\'t care if they\'re supporting Obama, they don\'t fracking act like it. It\'s deeper than supporting a black man, it\'s about uplifting us from buck dancing and shucking/jiving.

Two black comedian who can tell n-jokes under the guise of "politics".  CNN & Comedy Central are protected from being called bigots.  Screw that.  <br><br>I am going to send emails to the aforementioned on their bullshit.  I don\'t want this hot garbage on the airwaves.  Black people need to be up in arms about these type of shows.  If I were a radio/t.v. personality, D.L. ,Grier, and anyone else would be put on blast for reducing Obama to a buffoon.  I expect this from the opposition, but not from our own.  I mean don\'t these comedians have kids? nieces and nephews?  What kind of message are they sending?</div>\

CNN must be very much aware on the efforts that the civil rights have put across to ensure this type of degradation to people of color is not supported by such a prominent media source.

I used to watch CNN a lot and I can barely stand to watch it any more, and I found Hughley to be very offensive in the first show, with his overthetop mocking of AA people around Obama, and I haven\'t watched any more of him.</div>\

He has a lot to live up to and  we need to be behind him, but shows like this play right into racists hands and are already saying this is now our next four years.

You see, there are lots of rednecks and white crazies out there who could be put on national TV to embarass humiliate and shame the white race as well. But, the white power structure declines for engaging in such debasement of themselves.<br><br>However, when it comes to perpetuating the stereotypes of black buffonery, ignorance and disgrace behavior?   Well, for sooooommmmme odd reason the network producers and execs just think it is COMEDY.<br><br>Black folks underSTAND that it is racism. We also know that it is the type of racist comedy that is soooo profitable and guaranteed ratings that not only white execs approve it and put it on, but black execs like BET and black entertainers who want jobs KNOW they can also make money making an ass of black folks and displaying them as stupid, trifing ignorant and lazy.<br><br>It is far more difficult for blacks who porttray positive images of our race to find a job. Like for instance, why didn\'t CNN give Roland Martin that spot instead of DLHughley with his uneducated self?  Could it be because Martin was unwilling to be a sycophant?  Could if be that Martin was unwilling to engage in that racist buffonery that Hughley was?  I suspect strongly yes.<br><br>So, again I say to you...it is not our race..rather it is yours that continues to make such racist shows PROFITABLE.<br><br>It is YOUR KIND that is sick.  It is YOUR KIND that laughs at minstrel type humor. It is YOUR KIND that loves RACIST humor.<br><br>So, how about you go and post your questions on a WHITE blog, with lots of rednecks, or their twins...GOP rightwing conservatives...like Hannity, Limbaugh and O\'Reilly?<br><br>Then you would be providing a real service to YOUR RACE.</div>\

I watch everything in the way of comedy. I find Carlos Mencia offensive because he thought since he got away with making "beaner" references that gives him a go ahead to talk smak about all races. David Alan Grier at least talks about recent topics as if he understands what they are about and makes fun of them in the same vein. Hughley seems to remind me of lounge lizzard comedians that try to find what makes the audience laugh by throwing out lines like, "What\'s up with...", this or that and doesn\'t leave you feeling that he knew anything about the topic except maybe the headline. When his audience laughter dies he doesn\'t go on to the next joke on that topic, but if  a few people laugh he gets carried away with it and sometimes will beat one subject to death.  Stand up is hard to do, stand up concerning one topic is even harder, and DL just isn\'t the guy who should be trying this. I watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report and love both of them, but they keep things tasteful and make fun of the actual news. They do what is recent and actually talk about the "whole topic" not just make jokes around it.</div>\
