Silly Fun or Racist- Jimmy Kimmel asks White People who their Favorite Black person is, In honor of Black History Month.

searching for an interesting fact

i dont at all see how it is racist.

Jimmy Kimmel is who he is. Just plain silly. No reason for anyone to get sensitive over silliness.

I think it was an attention seeking gimmick.

If shocked were a color, I'd be it.

As far as I'm concerned if someone considers this racist, they have waaay tooo muuuch time on their hands!

I found nothing "insensitive" about it. It's funny.

I think it's pretty racist that the first thing that white girl had to say about black people is that she's "gangsta".... ugh ignorance.

But the rest of it was funny!

It is not insensitive towards blacks at all... It is insensitive towards the white folk... I mean it is true that the level of exposure towards any race depends on where you live. We can definitely agree that if a person lives in say Colorado (In some parts of Colorado it is 99% white) Then they would not have exposure to people of color and only know what they see on TV, and honestly in those cases their ignorance should be forgiven.

Now to people who live in Diverse areas, they may not take the time to understand that not all of America is integrated and they will take the people interviewed here and crucify them for things that are out of their control.

I don't think the intention was to be insensitive, but it is. <3

Well, any white people who are so stiff and humorless that they would take offense to that probably aren't watching Kimmel anyway. I don't think it is insensitive at all.

okay <3

Pointless and intended to raise the specter of racism. Why only whites? Why not all races? Why ask at all? Why must anyone separate 'favorite people' by race?

Excellent point, actually.

Just comedy.

Nothing but comedic enterainment.

I love that poem.

Me too <3

Gotta love Morgan, he's incredible!! :o)
