actor playing TV host Denis Lévesque mistook Mr. Obama for Quebec singer Gregory Charles. He apologizes, saying “all blacks look alike.”

Im sorry, that sounds pretty racist to me.

lol its called comedy. If the "blacks" had a show and called us all honkys would you be mad?. I sure as hell wouldn't. Don't we also have to label as slander or prejudice since he said Canadians who voted for Harper were stupid?. My god call my lawyer

Im not offended by the term "black" saying that they all look the some to you is racist.
Its not like that was stab at comedy either, from what I can see all these idiots wanted to do it formulate some sort of shock comedy show. Real comedians who go that route tend to make of themselves much more then they do of other races. Look at Dave Chappell, the man is hilarious, but you see him doing more racist black comedy then racist *insert minority* comedy.
The two guys in the story just are not that funny, even when they called Sarah Palin it wasnt all that funny. The funniest part was that fact they got through to her and that she believed them, the actual conversation was pretty lame.

i can see that coming across as racist, although it may be a fact to him, I think all snowmen look the same. People around the world just need to not be so sensitive about pointless things

[roger-roger]

Your acutally compairing a race of people to snowmen?

I think 07 Ranger and an 08 Ranger look the same, but I can tell the difference between Eddy Murphy and Charlie Murphy.

You've got to work at getting your point across clearly to people.

I'd say incredibly racist. I find it sickening that in this day and age we have shit like this on the air.

[roger-roger]

Comedy about racism can be incredibly funny, but you have to know how to do it, these wing nuts obviously don't.

[Donny_Brasco]

Bad taste for sure, maybe racist. For uncreative comedians poking fun at the standard steriotypes is the easy way to try get a laugh.

relax, he didnt say all "ni@@ers" look the same, he said all blacks look the same, just as "all chinamen look the same" as "all white people look the same", by your logic saying "all these jews look the same" or "all these whites look the same" is racists , thats what we are "white,black". Learn to have a laugh

How upsetting is your life you cant have a laugh, since when cant we call black people black?
