Black Comic Blasts Jerry Seinfeld's Assault on 'PC Nonsense'
Breitbart News ^ | 5 Feb 2014 | Breitbart News

Jerry Seinfeld's attack on politically correct comedy quotas drew a scathing response from a black comedienne who confesses she's never watched an entire episode of the comic's landmark sitcom.

Nicole Byer, whose credits include work on MTV and with the comedy troupe Upright Citizens Brigade, took offense at Seinfeld's response to a question asking why more people of color don't appear on his online series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee.

People think it’s the census or something,” he said. “This has gotta represent the actual pie chart of America? Who cares? Funny is the world that I live in. You’re funny, I’m interested. You’re not funny, I’m not interested. I have no interest in gender or race or anything like that..It’s more about PC nonsense than ‘Are you making us laugh or not?

I drove by skunk and talked about that to some people. I completely forgot about it shortly thereafter.

As a matter of fact, I logged off of FR a short while ago and completely forgot about the woman until I logged back on and saw your comment.

Talking about some nincompoop for a moment doesn’t translate into success simply because you’re talking about said nincompoop. If that were the case, Lorena Bobbit’s husband would be famous. You see, I don’t even know his name.

So Brietbart found the one person who has never watched an episode of Seinfeld.

I think we’re finally ready for a National No Minority Whining Day (Month).

And maybe also a “National Thank a Democrat for Slavery” Day.

I may have watched two episodes. I’m not sure, but Seinfeld is funny.

Ever notice, that here on FreeRepublic, that the background screen is ALL white, while most of the little letters are black.

More proof that FR is racist.

Never watched seinfield? I’ve never watched a professional foot ball game or a college foot ball game or a high school football game.

I did watch my 8 year old grand son play a foot ball game once though.

Nope, I don’t like sitcoms.

I do love pro football, though.

I avoid sitcoms because I don’t like being told when to laugh. I have gotten hooked on Big Bang Theory although I surf out of it when it gets skanky which is often.

It may become an illuminating moment for Seinfeld to see leftists are the racist, hate mongering monsters - not right wing conservatives.
