A Black guy talking jive in a way that demeans black people and reinforces the stereotype of us being unintelligent and inarticulate people is an insult.

Totally different. Doing it for a audience and a show host with a general disdain for blacks is what makes it wrong. Some people I work with say I like blacks but let them deal with your son or daughter without the knowledge of the relationship and see how they treat them. Sometimes its best to observe from afar. Then you see how certain(always right wing)people really are.

I bet you think the "Reverends" Jesse and Al are fine, upstanding citizens, don't you?

Honestly...these incessant cries of racism are just getting old. The other day some idiot reporter accused Gingrich of being racist for suggesting Obama was good at spreading food stamps instead of jobs. Find a real reason to complain. You're not automatically racist if you criticize obama.
