Katt Williams Wears Noose to BET Hip Hop Awards: Comedy or Foolishness?
This socially and culturally irresponsible crap was projected to the world while black congressional leaders were in Washington, DC on Tuesday, October 16, 2007 trying to convince lawmakers that the displaying of nooses should be considered a hate crime.
Black people need to stop condoning foolishness. Katt Williams was dead wrong, and definitely irresponsible for this stunt! I wonder if he understands that at this rate we (black folk) will never be taken seriously if we continue to take part in activities that demean our culture and race? I doubt he even cares! Or, perhaps he does. He did have a few insightful things to say regarding Jena 6, Michael Vick, and TI during his opening statement on the BET HIP HOP Awards – but I did not take him seriously as a result of his girly pink outfit and noose accessory. First impressions are key. They set the tone for what people think of you. Isn’t this important fact somewhere in the comedy manual?
It was my prayer for a white congressman to gain access to the picture (link below), and present it to the Judiciary Committee as an example of how we disrespect each other and promote hatred within our community. I wonder what John Conyers would have said? He would have probably been mad ass hell at this insensitive & tasteless gesture of "comedy" - but I bet you he would have also been speechless; rendered to a mumbling embarrassment. What could have he said? How could have he justified this mockery and insult to every person concerned about race relations and/or human dignity?
Of course there are plenty of black people out there saying, 'Man, it is all in fun. We tryin' to turn this noose thing into an endearment quality'. Meanwhile, waiting for a white comedian to do something similar so we can get all hyper-sensitive.
Remember how some black people responded to Michael Richard's implosion of hatred? Richards can't get a job working anywhere. Ya think Katt Williams will work again? He will. Probably working to continue regurgitating on African American heritage.
Too many black people are what?
Answer:
Hypocrites with no essence of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY directed towards our black ancestors!
I am tired!!!!!!!!!!!!
Question:
Would a Jewish person wear the image of a swastika on his or her
t-shirt to promote comedy?

No one said these guys are an authority on anything. Not every comedian will be Bill Maher. However, Katt Williams went a bit overboard with this one. Let's forget the noose for a second. WTF is he wearing anyway. People try to make statements that have nothing to say.
Our black congressional leaders should be worried about this economy and this mortgage crisis. The noose issue is important, but money talks and bull-crap runs the marathon. If we don't fix this crap the middle class will pay dearly.
I encourage social causes almost all of the time when they are important. Here is another social cause to be involved in: IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED TO VOTE, PLEASE DO. IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT ISN'T MAKE THEM. We sign up for emails to the latest clubs and email messages for shopping coupons but don’t to vote? Seriously, this is the most important election of our lives to this point.
