"Bald headed! Look like a man! Lots of weave!!! Haha!"

Oh wow . Never heard those "jokes" before!  :kii:  heeLAIR

This unfunny ass show is still unfunny I see.

And hopefully someone loses their job over this "writing"

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated to be only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.

Black people finding humor in making fun about how Black people allegedly look is the real joke.

What is is so hilarious about saying Black women can't grow hair? Or that they look like men?

 Like, break it down to me.

And break it down to your sisters, cousins and aunties too. While you're at it.

If Black women aren't finding this funny it's just not funny. Or not funny enough.

And that's the last I'll say in here cuz I can already see myself getting annoyed between the willful ignorance and hard tries to be edgy. Frankly I've already entertained it too much

Yea this is definitely problematic. I could take 1 joke about having to pay more for the weave but the whole "Im gonna look like a man! Bald! Ugly!" That was super cringey
The one thing I'll give them is that the character was a Trump supporter, and I'm sure that is what the Black coons over there think

The definition

Black hair not being straight or long shouldn't be something that's paraded for laughs, especially in front of a mostly white studio audience. Like someone already mentioned, the fade comment was too much—it plays into the the whole racist narratives about Black women being masculine.

This wasn't funny in the least bit. I actually can't believe she agreed to do that  :uhh:  :uhh:
