Eddie Murphy was so much funnier on SNL Also post the one where he is performing with a reggae band for a white audience.

It won’t be long now that Rand Paul will openly agree with those who spew this white privalage crap to get the black vote.

He’s already trying to appeal to the criminal black community by offering them amnesty to the black criminals.

Without seeing the videos, my first thought:

I got some ice cream
And you don't have none
'Cause you're on Welfare...

This was always one of my favorite SNL bits.

Eddie Murphy had a brilliant early career and singlehandedly saved SNL from almost certain cancellation.

During that early 1980s period, Eddie was simply brilliant and could do no wrong. But he appeared to lose his edge pretty quickly. I know he's had some success since 1984 but I'm hard pressed to think of anything that compared to his SNL gig and those three great movies (48 Hrs; Trading Places; Beverly Hills Cop). All of that happened in the space of about three years.

The video is very funny and makes fun of the whole concept of "White Privilege"...

How do you manage to consistently botch the automagic auto-linking that FR normally does when a URL is placed in a post?

I consider that skit as a fairly accurate representation of America, before 1970.

In America, people trusted each other, we actually left our keys in the car in our driveways, I never owned a house key, our windows were kept wide open, our bicycles lay out in the front yard.

Banks trusted us when we forgot our driver’s license, checks were passed around freely, neighbors frequently entered each other’s homes without knocking.

In a restaurant you just left the money on the table and walked out. It was assumed that people always did the right thing, that was just the norm.
