Admittedly, I don’t watch much television, or go to the movies these days...haven’t in quite a while, so Ms. Sykes’ name doesn’t ring a bell in my memory.

However, this story about her is granting her enough publicity to bring her to my attention, and to remind me that her kind of “entertainment” is precisely why I don’t watch much television or go to the movies these days.

Before the election, she was famous for saying that if Barack Obama wins, black people would need to find an excuse because you can’t go around blaming “The Man” when you ARE “The Man”.

The quote is all over the internet.

I guess she believes that Rush is now The Man in charge.

She's also a regular on The New Adventures of Old Christine on CBS, supporting Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
