D.L. Hughley. Did anybody see this mess on CNN? I accidentally fell upon a rebroadcast of this show last night, so I watched. I predicted it would be bad, but I had no idea. I mean, damn. Less than two weeks before the nation elects its next president (potentially a black one) this show appears outta nowhere. It's clearly CNN 's lame attempt to break into the political satire market with a black guy who can say what the white guys can't about Barack Obama. It made me cringe. The writing was awful, D.L.'s delivery was off and let's not even talk about content.
If Barack took us 10 steps forward in race relations, this show just took us 11 steps back. My only hope is that nobody watched this buffoonery and in the end it won't matter. If you didn't see it, you didn't miss anything but cooning at its finest.
Mr. Hughley, you have reached a new low with this one. We let your little nappy headed hoe remarks slide and gave you another chance. Now you've blown it. You are officially a sell-out. You are no better for black people than some of these degenerates showing up at the McCain-Palin rallies.
And CNN, I have watched your network for over a decade but will NOT watch again until this disgraceful show is removed from your lineup.
Rant over.

Hello there,
This show needs to be cancelled. Sorry.
I really think that the viewers need to make their opinions known at CNN! Let them receive thousands of complaints by phone and fax!!
Blacks are sick and tired of seeing "coonery" on television!
We are tired of white networks putting black minstrels on the air when too few black intellectuals are being featured who will elevate the national dialogue! Let us make that known!
