What The ?


DL Hughley went on the Tonight Show and said some awful things! He said that the female basketball team at Rutgers University was some nappyheads but maybe not ho's. He called them ugly! This kind of nonsense has to stop! I was never really a fan of his but this takes the cake. Something tells me that he was just deflecting. Look at the facts, HE has a nappyhead and he is ugly! Perhaps he wanted to put someone else down because he is not the most handsome man in the world. Actually he's quite the opposite! Note to DL: If you can't be funny without putting others down, hire writers. There is a reason that you do 15 minutes of a standup show and talk about the audience the rest of the time! You are NOT FUNNY! Looking like Medusa! Comb your Damn head! That's what YOU do!

I sent the following to Rev. Al. I hope he proves he is not a hypocrite.

To: Rev. Al Sharpton, National Action Network a

The comedian, DL Hughley recently made the following comments on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno:

"There were some nappy headed women on the team and those are some of the ugliest women I have ever seen in my life.” DL HUGHLEY on Jay Leno.

Where is the outcry from mainstream media, the African American community, or all these people that called for Imus' head on a platter?

The Rutgers Women's Basketball team members are beautiful! When the world gave them an opportunity to rage and unleash a fury toward Imus, they didn't. That's beautiful. When they had the eyes of the world on them, the exhibited grace and dignity. That's beautiful. When they had every reason and opportunity to malign and attack Imus, they forgave him. That's beautiful. D.L. Hughley's latest venture was canceled so he tried to piggyback on a painful period in our history by attempting to get a laugh on the cheap and THAT. WAS. UGLY!

WhatAboutOurDaughters.org is dedicated to combating negative portrayals of African American Women in popular culture. Apparently after Studio 60 went belly-up, DL landed at BET, the bastion of black empowerment ( NOT!). His new show on BET is called S.O.B., a hidden camera reality show. Ask Viacom, the owner of BET, if this is the kind of message it wants to send to African American women and girls. What about our daughters? Or are you only concerned when the degradation of Black women comes from outside the community?
