A man criticizes comedian Niecy Nash for joking about Angelina Jolie and Madonna going to Africa to adopt black kids.
He also takes a shot at BET for the overall ghetto atmosphere of the show. Well, he does have a point about the racist jokes and the horrible performances. We need to do better.
“These babies have done wonders for my credit score. To all the rappers and singers and ballers and shot callers: instead of making it rain, make a difference and get yourself some white kids.” – Niecy Nash on Bet Awards
REALLY!!!
In my opinion he needs to take his closet racist ass and go blow his nose.
Nothing wrong with exploiting white kids in a room full of black ppl. I thought it was cute.
I don’t understand people saying it was to ghetto….wtf was they suppose to do sit around and eat crackers and drink tea………then we would be sell outs…………i knew someone was going to have a problem with Niecy’s joke but it’s the truth……@ lease Madonna knew what she was doing….BET is black entertainment……….I’m just not sure how it was so ghetto……….someone please explain to me HOW this awards show was so ghetto.
i thought it was funny. she’s making fun of the white celebrities who have done it.
I AGREE WITH HER THOSE ACTRESS GOING OVER SEAS AND BRINGING BACK ACCESSORIES, CANT TEACH THESE KIDS ANYTHING ABOUT THEIR CULTURES OR ANYTHING, I DON’T LIKE IT, AND THEIR ARE PLENTY OF BLACK KIDS HERE THEY COULD ADOPT IF THAT’S THE CASE I THINK IT IS THE NEXT BIG HOLLYWOOD THING GET A BLACK BABY . THE SHOW WAS NOT GHETTO AND ALL AND THE PERFORMANCE ALL TOGETHER WERE PUT TOGETHER NICELY, SANDRA I USTA TRY TO TAKE UP FOR YOU BUT NOW I SEE WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT. ANYWAY I AGREE NOTHING BUT SHOWCASES
I like Neicy & I feel like all she did was make a point but I knew someone would have a problem with it, I mean c’mon she is a comedian it was a joke!! I got them trying to pull her from her show she has on Lifetime or E whatever channel where she helps make over homes!!
@LOVELY LADY I AGREE I SAW NOTHING GHETTO ABOUT THE SHOW THEY HAD NICE STAGE ARRANGEMENTS AND THE PERFORMANCE WERE HOT THE SHOW WAS VERY GOOD TO ME I HAD NO COMPLAINTS.
Lovely Lady I think they are saying that cause its a black station thats the only thing I can come up with?? I know BET has not had the best of shows on TV but they try & it’s something for US so like I said we can’t have anything of our own without someone calling it ghetto, now maybe some of the people in attendance acted that way cause you know we can’t help it sometimes(lol) but I also feel like if thats where you come from then what else do you know?? can you imagine Lil Wayne or Jeezy trying to be articulate?? they act the way they do cause thats who they are, not saying that they are ignorant but you know…Ok I think I have said too much(lol)
DID THIS MOFO JUST SAY
“JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE A BLACK MAN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT DOES NOT GIVE THEM THE RIGHT TO THINK THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN POWER NO IT’S NOT GOING TO SO HAPPEN EVER OK”
OH HELL TO THE NAH……. *TAKES OF EAR RINGS* IF I EVA SEE THIS MOFO………….DO HE REALIZE WHAT HE SAID WTF HE MEAN WE’LL NEVA BE IN POWER…..NEWSFLASH FAT ASS WE’RE HALF WAY THERE

AFTER THAT COMMENT HE WAS REALLY REALLY UPSET YEAH HE’S A CLOSET RACIST
Ms. Peaches and toosexy I agree………
—but Don Imus can stay on the air. Kick rocks, trick.
But the crybaby may be looking for DL right this very minute.
How can we ever start to see beyond race, if we continue to make idiotic racist jokes in the presence of children of all people. We get mad at others when they make stupid racist jokes about us but, we act like its ok for us to do it about others! Imagine if that was the MTV awards and a white celebrity said that in the presence of black kids. We would be raising hell calling the NAACP and stuff!
I don’t see what the problem is with these celebrities adopt any child, African or not, especially when that child may not have otherwise have had the opportunity to be exposed to a better life. I don’t see any Black people stepping up and doing anything about the situation in OUR homeland…we don’t even take care of our neighborhoods!! These people are humanitarians, and if its a baby from Ghana or a baby from Indonesia…they are making a tremendous difference in someones life.
I agree with this guy!! It’s not funny, and it’s actually rather offensive to say the least!! We are about to have the first Black President(God willing) and we need to put our differences aside and WAKE UP and stop being so ignorant and typical!!!
the comments was offensive to me and im black. he has a point. the show was good though. i did not think it was ghetto at all.
I said yesterday it was ghetto only because of I think it was Tpain and Khaleds performance.Ghetto doesn’t necesary meaning just because they black, I think that’s where people get it twisted.I just thought they could of kept that cussing and stuff to a minimum (which doesn’t meant it’s ghetto, but I can type all day about why I thought it was).It sounds stupid to me when they blank it out.People curse like it was second nature, that’s the only part I didn’t like so much, but hey who can I blame.Just to clear it up.But really, it’s no different than the MTV Awards..
Secondly, I didn’t see when Nicey was presenting, but if that’s what she said, then to tell you the truth I don’t know what to think.She kind of telling the truth; making these kids be accessories, like Paris putting her lil’ chichi in her purse.They nothing but bandwagons.Nobody was really thinking about adopting young African babies until Angelina made it popular.
i’m w/you blkdiamonn (#12). our standards are waaayyy low right now. i wish madonna would come over to riverdale and get some of these lil ignant negroes. and that’s putting it lightly.
Ha Ha, I just viewed the video. He needs to sit his drunk half white ass down. Yeah I said it. I am half white. I get a pass. Was that his mama cosigning. I bet he can’t use the bathroom without her approval.
Did ya’ll miss ME?!!!
Wasn’t that NELLY posting HOT?!!! I am still drooling!!!
My computer at work is having technical issues so I haven’t been able to come on here.
I think they blocked me from coming on here but I am not detered…I’ll wait till I get home.
Thanks Sandra for the Morning Wood posting!!!!
You really made me smile. I’m still looking at those pictures. A couple of them were new to me. I added them to my collection!!!
Well girls I’m back!!!!
Back to the posting…BET was out of line for that skit but it was hilarious!!!
okay 2thick4u is back…now where is Kymystry??
btw, i think we ate nelly up yesterday… hope there were enough leftovers for you 2thick4u!! xoxoxoxo
Girl…ya’ll got my leftovers!!!!!
I’m glad everyone was looking for me though…I missed my family. I feel apart of me is gone since I can’t log on the site right now!!!
We as people need to do better and I dont care whats your race or height…I didnt even watch this crap because he looks sloppy enough from the screen shot.
OBAMA 08!
I am Black and I agree with him 100%. We’re quick to point out even the slightest hint of racism from others but give turn the other way when one of our own does the same or worse.
Us Black people should be the least tolerant of anything racist, joke or not. Now, we’re not all perfect as humanbeings regardless of race but anything that’s ill intentioned should be sanctioned.
Personally, I can’t stand DL Hughley with his poor racist humor, I always liked Ms. Nash and I hope she’s strong enough to come out & apologize for this mistep.
Black & Proud yet Fair.
Ms.Nash skit was funny but borderline risque. If yall ever watch comedy central channel and catch The Sarah Silverman Program, she has had alot of racist sketches with blacks taking the fall. She has even gone as far as black face. She is wayyy more over the line than Niecy and she does not have to apologize for her comedy. It was all in fun, I’m sure on the BET awards (speaking of I saw somewhere ppl were calling it the EBT awards LMAO !!)It was not ghetto they just hate it when blacks shine(as far as the awards shows go).The HNIC approved it so whatever!! *in my valley girl voice*
2thick for you, welcome back. I can now offically cancel my Amber Alert. I chose to search for you by way of an Amber Alert because you get quicker results. LOL.
BET is ghetto! There is absolutely nothing to learn on that channel besides ignorance!
My question is, where are these kids parents?If they didn’t like the idea, they could shut it down.There’s two sides..
oh what the hell ever get the chip off of your shoulder
welcome back 2thick everyone was getting worried about you girl!!
As far as the guy goes i knew someone was going to take it the wrong way. We as black people have to take a lot of things and if we get offended we are told to stop using the “race card” or that we are being “too sensitive”. I would like to know why he is watching the BET awards in the first place he seems a “bit” racist to me. I guess he watching for kicks and using the show as a conversation piece. I would have thought he was Hispanic by his appearance.
The childern’s parents are more to blame than BET!!!!!!
This guy needs to point his finger at the parents not Niecy Nash!!!
Sure BET is a HOT STINky MESS that why I don’t watch it!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am sure it got parent approved. I thought it was cute. Reading the comments I now realize that had the shoe been on the other foot I would be highly upset. I took it as Ms Nash being a comedian and that is what she does. I can’t have it both ways(I know) but I did see it as entertainment.
Two points:
#1 – I like Niecy. Her delivery and timing is just so right. She’s a real funny comedic actress and I love to laugh. Go Niecy.
#2 – I’ve never really enjoyed racial jokes. To be honest, they make me uncomfortable unless I’m only in the presence of US. Otherwise, I don’t like hearing them talking about us and vice versa. (Them = any non-Black) Something just feels wrong about it. But Niecy didn’t make me uncomfortable and the kids were such good little actors.
Even though blacks and whites have much material against each other, it might be time to bring the racial slurs and jokes to a slow crawl – OR! – since times are changing with President Obama on the horizon, it might be time for Blacks to learn the art of hiding prejudice. For the most part this is what the yt’s do. If we REALLY can’t stop joking about white folks, it might be time to do it only at private parties (Paris Hilton), on the radio to an audience of our peers (nappy headed h0es), high high high (Amy W. and Paris), or in jest on a sports show (Tigger Woods would forgive though).
White people have laughed at our jokes about their dancing, their speech, the way they discipline their kids, the way they kill their kids, etc. – but I think they are going to start getting mad and offended real quick now. I mean, they see that we’re about to have a Black President and that kinda levels the playing field. They can get mad now too, and accuse us of being racist. They don’t have to grin and bear it or hold their tongues now.
I kind of look forward to this emerging new racial climate because any result is possible. Good and bad…

Well said. The raising of the kids. “Bobby don’t do that” “Little Jerome, if you do that again, I am going to beat that ass.”.
Spit all over the place. But yeah, I was offended by what Niecy did because if the joke had been the other way around with black kids coming out with a white lady and her talking about how those kids made her credit score go down, I would be ready to jump through the t.v.
I tell you, will we ever, ever, EVER get over this color thing? Here we are, at Mother nature’s mercy(hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes), at war with Iraq, the economy is going down the drain, gas will soon be like purchasing gold, many of our children look, act and sound like heathens, young unmarried, unemployed, uneducated women are opting to have 3,4,5 babies by as many different men, most of our children don’t know what it is to read a book, high school dropout rates are almost 50%, yet we get angry over what a comedian jokes about, a damn BET show. Come on people, get a grip! We gots major issues as well as white folks. And we need to stop all this foolish, unnecessary madness and get our act together. And if you have your act together, these words will make PLENTY of sense to you. As always, I leave you in peace. One last thought: what will all these Hollywood types(entertainers) do when the s*** really hits the fan, when the economy is so bad that folks won’t be able to buy their cds or go to their shows or movies and they’ll have to go out and get real jobs? I’ll bet they’ll be singing a different tune then.
I DON’T GIVE A RATS AZZ ABOUT THE JOKE THIS MOFO SAID WE’LL NEVER BE IN POWER IT’LL NEVA HAPPEN/////////////I’M STILL THINKING BOUT THIS SH*T SINCE YESTERDAY.
I am getting really tired of this new technological age that we are in. Everybody’s making video’s posting all of their opinions and Sh…! It is starting to irk the hell out of me. I am definitely happy that everyone is talking so openly and freely about race, but it is getting out of hand. His damn spittin’ and feminine ways offended me…..should I make a video about that? IT’S COMEDY PEOPLE.
BET is not for “us”, how is something for “us” and it’s own by VIACOM. I have been a supporter of BET for a long time, but every since the station was sold, the progamming has changed. Including the BET Awards, which I used to enjoy. I didn’t watch the show, but ole’boy needs to kick rocks, and take an english class.
OMG get a friggin life!!!!! NEWSFLASH: ANGELINA JOLIE & MADONNA THROW THEIR KIDS IN OUR FACES ALL THE TIME!!!!
It was a joke, we laughed, move on. Happy friday peeps!!!
Nash took a shot at both races,us “black people” on how “some” of us name our children. I’m one off them my kids are Demetree Tyree and Destynee Ne’Eshaee. I could have spelled their names the common way, but I did not! Nash said what she said either you like it or you dont.
p.s. I have good credit
I’m not sure what Niecy’s point was. How is a white child going to improve her credit rating. Come on! I completely agree! If this was done on MTV, then Sharpton would be protesting to have MTV shut down. I applaud what Madonna and Jolie are doing. If they can give them a better life, than Glory be to God. We are quick to criticize. Let’s look at our own lives.
@blkdiamonn…. I agree with you 100%.
If is was a white person that did this skit Rev Al Sharpton would be upset we all would be mad and the NAACP would be involved its called reverse racism… I hate race jokes period because they cross lines. How can we ever move forward if we continue to make race jokes…. People were pissed when Imus said what he said its not okay for blacks to make white jokes and for whites to make black jokes. IMO
Hey 2 Thick .. Welcome back I put an APB…
Welcome back 2thick4u..We were worried about you!
I found it very funny……and why all of a sudden is ghetto all of a sudden so bad?
Dayum uppity folks get on my damn nerves, there is a time and place for everything and to me when your audience is predominantly black and they get the joke-it’s appropriate
We sometimes try to forget where we come from or to disassociate ourselves with those who may not be as educated or refines as we are, but to me black folks are my people ghetto and all-do I like everything we do-no!
But I damn sure aint ashamed of them-we all have a ghetto aunts, cousins, etc. we also have bourgeouis relatives as well-what makes us unique is our habits, customs, behaviors etc. good and bad.
I am a college-graduate but I still eat my greens & cornbread with my fingers-I be damn if someone is going to make me feel like something is so wrong with my race-hell we aint no different than any other race- we all have issues!
To tell you the truth I’m tired of all these white celebreties sporting black babies around like they are the latest accessory-to prove just how much of a humanitarian they are…..Good for them
The joke was offensive, but comics always push the line…white and black alike…
I respect Angelina Jolie but Madonna is another story. She BOUGHT a child. The child has a living breathing parent, which a lot of children in that country do not. There are real all over the world orphans who could have benefited from her resources but she chooses the child who still has a living parent. That’s some BULLSH*T…if she really cared about making his life better she would’ve given his biological father a job or done something else to imporve their quality of life without taking him away from his blood…
And, since Malawi has strict adoption rules, she had to be married to adopt a child from there. What a coincidence it is that she waits until the adoption is finalized to divorce her husband…
*real orphans all over the world
My thing is there is nothing wrong with what Niecy said. She is telling the truth. Madonna and Angelina need to adopt here in the United States instead of going else where. There are so many kids that are homeless right here in America that there really wasnt no need to go out side of the country. Hey they need help too. But being the fact that you want to do something good wouldnt you start here where you came from? She made fun of black people too talking about dont by the jewels, cars, and the bling (which is all materialistic stuff) go adopt. Now for the slop that was on the couch looked like he aint left since 1993 needs to continue to have a bowl of chips and a remote at hand and stay away from the camera. His opinion is just that. I find it hard for someone to say that we are being racist when he made a racist comment his self. And i feel like the BET awards are suppose to be different. If every award show was the same it would be so boring so no we are not going to be like MTV and Billboard awards and so on. This was an award show that recognizes our black people for there achievements since we dont seem to get all the respect from other awards shows. And further more he must not know that there was hella white people seating in that audiance because i seen hell of them.
1- The reason these people are adopting in other countries is because those countries have easier laws when it comes to adoption. Most European countries and America make it so hard to adopt.
2- Who cares what race the kids are as long as they are being adopted. Angelina is a big global activist you cant realy say they are tokens to her.
3- The joke was sick why is okay to make a racist joke about white people but when someone does it about black people its wrong@ lol
4- I mean it was a joke she is a comedian i aint trippin if she made people laugh she did her job I probably would have laughed had i saw it but i mean it was a little much to bring the kids on there. . i think it was in poor taste of the parents who let their kids go up there.
Either way thats her and Im sure she aitn lost no sleep over it!
I thought the joke was a very bold move. But it was funny as heck when she brought those kids out.
Comedians push the envelope all the time and comment on what they see. I thought the joke was funny, but as #40 pointed out had this been the other way around Rev. Al would have been all over the TV.
And, old boy with his bigoted half white azz needs to get a clue. Minorities are the majority now and white folks are finally getting a dose of how it feels to be a minority. White folks are realizing that power is slipping out of their hands and they don’t know what the hell to do about it. “A Change Is Gone Come” and his name is OBAMA — YES WE CAN!!!
I don’t watch BET just for the sheer fact, VIACOM thrives on perpetuating stereotypes about the black community. Niecy’s stand up skit may very well have been funny, but the assumption that black folks have bad credit but can be fixed with adopting someone of the caucasian persuasion is ridiculous. All black people are not credit challenged just as all white folks don’t have stellar credit as well.
100% in agreement with blkdiamonn, we cannot go on as a black nation living in hypocrisy and think that at some point in time all races have to get it together and live out the dream of MLK. We have to do better and clean up OUR backyards before we can make suggestions on how to landscape the rest of the human nation. With the social ills of are very own neighborhoods and bottom dwelling economy, there’s really nothing to laugh about these days anyway, hence could be the reason everyone is so race sensitive, I don’t know, I’m just taking a stab there, but the guy in the video has SOME valid points but he’s just a little touched in articulating them.
I don’t know exactly what Angelina and Madonna’s true motives are but at least there out there doing there thing, just think if we all could contribute just a little of our time in own neighborhoods we could stop this social degradation amongst all our children, black, white or indifferent.

^^
That’s an understatement…he’s totally down with syndrome…
Unfortunately black don’t adopt much and I can’t remember any black person adopting overseas……EXCEPT my mother who adopted me from an Asian country……I’m working on a documentary about these African-Americans who (in significant numbers tooo) adopted half-black american children born in war-torn countries.
I’m back,I had comment again. I’m 35 yrs black female & my bio mother who birthed me and left me at 3 months of age. For the club, get high, get a man/men etc. God sent an ANGEL to me. I was placed in a home of a SINGlE black woman whom became my mommy legally 1 year later! I just buried her a yr ago! So yeah its was 35 yrs ago but “some” blacks do go above and beyond. I’M GRATEFUL & BLESSED THAT I WAS GIVEN A HOME.So I know for a FACT that “some” black people are above the big houses, big cars, and that ONE outfit that cost more than avg. person two week paycheck.
My mommy was one of those Single Black Ladies(RIP).
p.s. I see my bio-mother quite often I thank for her being that she was on the wrong path because it placed me on right one!! I just felt the need to share, we hardly hear anything postive blacks’ do in their lifetime!
One more thing amongst my typos and misuse of words, ghetto is a state of mind or mentality not synonymous with race or brick and mortar, but if you let media outlets like Viacom’s BET tell it, then it is so. I’ve met more modest, refined folks in the “ghetto” than you meet in the suburbs.
@GAGIRL73
I’m so glad for you, and your adoptive mother sounds like she was an extraordinary woman, sounds like you got a solid raising from her too because you carry no bitterness towards your biomom….that’s beautiful and that’s my point, the Viacoms of the world won’t let stories like this out, because they want to keep mess up about a fraction of what the black community is, the bling-bling, cars, women, rappers, wannabes and get rich quick schemes. The rest of us which is a bigger percentage are educated, get married to good mates, have children,buy homes, travel, know how to become financially independent through investing in stocks, mutual funds, providing for our families through life insurance policies that provide cash value, these are things that are happening EVERYDAY in the black community.
@ ISTANDBEHINDTHEIAM
THANK YOU, AND SHE WAS MY ANGEL ON EARTH!!!!
AND I WILL ALSO PUT OUT THERE MY MOMMY WASN’T BORN WITH A SLIVER SPOON OR EARNED 6 FIGURES INCOME. BUT SHE DID THE DANG ON THANG WORK UNTIL UNTIL SHE TOOK SICK!
A PERSON WHO HAS THE FAITH AND DRIVE CAN DO ANYTHING!
Okay, I am not Black or White, I am Latina and I was offended by her “jokes”.
I can’t believe at some of the comments posted here. I mean, what is so wrong with white people adopting black children. Nothing about what she said was funny.
Some black people need to get over this racial shit because it’s not cute. If a black man can get the Democratic nomination for president then I think it’s time for some black folks to get over this black vs. white shit. Stop acting like a victim and start putting yourself on a equal scale!
Too bad I have too much time on my hands and I am looking at the BET awards again to analize all the comments about how ghetto is was. Funny thing is I am still enjoying it. I guess I just forgot what to compare it with. I have not watched in years. This is not the Ocsars where you dress and speak to impress. I thought the “E” in BET meant for entertainment purposes only. To adopt a child outside of your race, I don’t have a problem with it. I see too many grandparents who have stepped to the plate who take care of thier grandchildren in their “golden years”. Families of all races take care of their own. Drugs, jail and our economy will cause more families to live under the same roof.
Okay, first of all Who the hell is he? we dont care what you think! you contribute nothing to the african american community! and your lil co-signer! if he didnt like it he shouldnt have watched it! afterall it is BLACK Entertainment television! and In my opinion he shouldnt be watching tv period! not talking like that! he need to be sitting in front of somebodies English book!lol
“END OF MY COMBERSATION!”
Lawd!

So are you saying that if you aren’t black we shouldn’t be watching BET?
No but it Clearly states what it is! What does he expect! he was like if this was Mtv they would have never said anything like that, WELL DUH! Mtv is predominetly White so of course they wouldnt have done that nobody would have laughed! all those black people, come on you had to expect a “White joke” lol
