Jewish Humor Central is a daily publication to start your day with news of the Jewish world that's likely to produce a knowing smile and some Yiddishe nachas. It's also a collection of sources of Jewish humor--anything that brings a grin, chuckle, laugh, guffaw, or just a warm feeling to readers. Our posts include jokes, satire, books, music, films, videos, food, Unbelievable But True, and In the News. Some are new, and some are classics. We post every morning, Sunday through Friday. Enjoy!
Oy! What is wrong with this -- where do I start? LOL . How about with the basic premise: What exactly is funny about "black comedians" (itself a reductionist and vaguely racist category) celebrating Shabbat for the first time? The fact that they're clueless? Because they're black? I know lots of of black folks (including black Jews) who are far from clueless. No, this perpetuates some very problematic ethnic stereotypes and needs to be rethought. Innocent intentions are no excuse.
ReplyDeleteEverybody in the film was a good sport, and we can learn from their example. No doubt Groucho would have been wickedly funny as well.
DeleteKol Hakavod for a new view on a Shabbat meal.
