It's interesting to note that many black comedians say they are against racism and then go on to base their whole acts on characterizations of blacks and whites. Is it too early to say that the saying "You can't have your cake and eat it too" should apply to black comedians?

Maybe to say otherwise would lead to an entrenchment of what we have now--ie., blacks can only joke about blacks.
