Bring back the SNL skit in which Eddie Murphy learns all about white privilege. LOL
Hat tip to you as you recalled this on another thread. I did a search and found it.
Another great movie scene —— CLARK GRISWOLD — “Roll ‘em up”

Kill the white people. Old Eddie Murphy skit.
Thanks for posting. I remember this from way back, when SNL was actually funny.
for later
This was always my favorite SNL skit, there is much truth in it.
Those of us that remember an America where we left our keys in the car, and never locked the front door and the windows were wide open, and you could trust the people that you dealt with during the day.
We could leave our bikes at the school overnight and in our front yards, our guns were on display in the living room.
People did take care of each other and a gas station might front you some gas, assuming that you would almost certainly be back to pay for it.
People used to actually Ride the Bus?!
For reference, here’s an excerpt from that 1999 Sports Illustrated interview:
On ever playing for a New York team: “I would retire first. It’s the most hectic, nerve-racking city. Imagine having to take the [Number] 7 train to the ballpark, looking like you’re [riding through] Beirut next to some kid with purple hair next to some queer with AIDS right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It’s depressing.”
On New York City itself: “The biggest thing I don’t like about New York are the foreigners. I’m not a very big fan of foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?”
On Mets fans: “Nowhere else in the country do people spit at you, throw bottles at you, throw quarters at you, throw batteries at you and say, ‘Hey, I did your mother last night — she’s a whore.’ I talked about what degenerates they were, and they proved me right. Just by saying something, I could make them mad enough to go home and slap their moms.”
FWIW, in the AMA, Rocker claims, “I rode the 7 train, about 40x before making those comments, so my comments weren’t assumptions, they were what I saw.”
prophet.
and he had the courage to speak the truth way before most had any idea on how far south things were going to get against decent white folks.
Eddie Murphy was a great comic talent in his time. Haven’t heard much about him lately.
Dang, I never got champagne on da bus!
Stating the obvious is committing the high crime of Insensitivity in our Brave New World.
“What a silly negro.”
“Delirious” still cracks me up every time I watch it.
“Hey boy....you look might cute in them jeans.....”
Thank you very much!
