Saturday Night Live Skit Racist

Saturday Night Live/NBC,your oppressive,racist,"Birth of Nation" tactics must be addressed by all people that believe in justice, equality, truth & action for hope and change; in a way that will drastically damage your corporations finances. I am calling on members of the White
Hispanic,Jewish,Asian,African, ALL Indian communities, everyone... that is (ALL races,creed,color and religion) who are sick and tired of the divisive tactics of the media to divide and conquer those of us that stand for change. See this minstrel show for what it is and rid NBC of it's sponsorship or boycott these sponsors for endorsing NBC's action.For those of you receiving a copy of this complaint to NBC. Please Google, SNL(Saturday Night Live), watch and listen carefully to the cartoon named "TV Funhouse:The Obama Files". I assure you it is a modern day minstrel show,aimed at insulting,demeaning,and destroying the American movement for change and needs to be addressed by all Americans. We will form an even stronger bond; forging it with absolute intolerance for those who insult and undermine the will of the American People.Thay have had eight years to instill fear,endorse war and wasteful spending of the American dollar needed for American schools and much needed health insurance for ALL Americans (not just hostages at Guantanamo Bay). Enough is enough. It has been said,"One finger pointing out the blame is powerless but all of our fingers balled up together make a forceful blow..."
Sincerely, An empowered American with a sistrum... DO SOMETHING NOW!

You make absolutely zero sense.

I happen to like racial humour (and yes, that includes jokes directed against my own race!), as long as it isn't mean-spirited. I sincerely doubt SNL is being mean-spirited, especially considering the diversity of the cast...

Yeahhhhh that was pretty stupid. Not racist, but it should be censured simply for not being funny

It's really sad when you have to lie to try to appear balanced.

If one candidate just sucks, should you really lie about the other candidate just so that you can say you're balanced? Wow, I just can't believe how disappointing the left is today.

Well, NBC has an agenda for sure, and now they are even using it within their own party, which is sad. If you watch Medium, a show on NBC, its last show was about a vietnam vet POW senator from Arizona (hmm, any coincedences here?) who was portrayed as possibly being a cannibal, and at the end was a murderer that got away to save his own political back. If you ever watch ER, another NBC show, there are often political agenda based plots (one late last year about a female soldier in Iraq that was raped by a fellow higher ranked officer), and also the Law and Order shows often have such messages as well (one recently bashing the Patriot act)

Its ok when its agendas against Republicans, but as soon as there is an agenda against a candidate within the party all hell breaks loose.

I don't think (MS)NBC has an agenda, I think SNL does though.

They're entitled to their opinion, I guess. It's just too bad that it's so horribly sexist.
