George Lopez: I was fired because I'm brown!
TMZ ^ | 8/11/2011 | TMZ STAFF

Posted on 08/11/2011 7:10:39 AM PDT by Mrs. Frogjerk

George Lopez wasn't afraid to talk about show getting canceled on "Lopez Tonight" yesterday -- but he told the crowd that he was being fired because of the color of his skin.

Lopez -- whose voice was featured in the "Smurfs" movie -- was talking about how Sony has greenlit a "Smurfs" sequel during his monologue ... and quipped, "So today I lost some work because I'm brown, but I got some work because I'm blue!"

Is Lopez REALLY blaming race ... or was he just trying to crack a bad joke?

Ahhhh....the race card!! The last and best refuge for the dem/lib/prog/pops who are without talent, without ideas, are not funny in the least, and who require the badge of victimhood to move forward.

Hit the road, George. Black, brown, white, green, purple...whatever. You failed due to lack of talent. It's that simple.

I never could figure out why he had a show in the first place. He is not funny.

actually, he was hired because he was brown. He was fired because his ratings were not good, and they can make more ad money with a different program in that slot.

Yep!

Hore-Gay has it all figured out. You can't sneak anything past this guy.

Racist companies hire incompetent minorities just so they can turn around and fire them.

Then, being mean as well as racist, they always let them know they are being fired because of race or skin color. That's just to rub it in.

They have fun doing it and fighting off the lawsuits over racism gives their lazy legal departments something to do.

George Lopez’s comedy, as I remember it, was more in line with Gilbert Esquivel’s. Gilbert is a born again Christian, with a clean routine now. His act focuses on the East LA Mexican social culture, etc. Self-deprecating, etc. - (Ha, Ha, Is there any other kind of comedian?) - Anyway, Esquivel IS funny. Saw him on Thou Shalt Laugh, with Patricia Heaton hosting. Michael Jr. was also on. Excellent show.

The only talent this guy has is the ability to spit while talking. We call him “racist Whor-hay” around my house.

Yeah George, I grew up on Cheech and Chong and you aren’t worthy to carry those guys comedic shoes. You got fired because you suck.

No, George; you were HIRED because you were Brown’

You were FIRED because you are not entertaining.

But the rest of us think you were fired because you weren't entertaining. Sunday morning public television is more entertaining.

Whining about his “race”? Hispanic is not a racial group, it is an ethnic group and besides, his show is a bottom of the cesspool crapfest. Face it jackass, you’re a sinker not a floater.

Ah, the depreciated Race Card ... it MUST be wearing thin since the usual Congresscritters are now trying to mask its use.

Lopez was fired because in the last month, all of his viewers who vote independent stopped watching him.

That’s what happens when you think “shut up and sing” doesn’t apply to you.

You got fired George because you had low numbers.

Low ratings, you get fired. I know how that feels.
