I remember a skit on the Best of Saturday Night Live where the real Julian Bond insulted the role playing Garrett Morris that light skinned blacks are more intelligent and higher class than dark skinned blacks. Bond said later:
Looking back at the episode I hosted, I felt discomfort with a skit we did. Appearing as myself on a mock television interview show about black issues, I told Garrett Morris, one of SNL‘s original “Not Ready for Prime Time Players,” that light-skinned blacks are smarter than dark-skinned blacks. Morris, who is darker skinned than I am, did a perfect double take. I felt squeamish then but did the skit anyway, and I feel uneasy about this joke even today. I believed it treaded dangerously on the fine line between comedy and poor taste. The Hollywood Reporter, January 15, 2014 by Julian Bond.
No he didn't.
