Comedians have been using satire to address social issues for years. While I have always admired the bravery of making a joke out of national and global problems, I can't say that I truly ever support satirical explorations. In this satirical commentary on police brutality, a utopian Black world is depicted. I watched cringing and smiling, but never actually able to bust up in laughter. I guess my mind kept going to historical references of cities built for and by Blacks and how racists burned, looted and taxed those areas into extinction. Here's some knowledge. Has Howard made my palette to critical? Am I being overly sensitive? Check out this Key and Peele video below from Comedy Central and let us know what you think. We NEED comments on this one. -Siren
