My friends and family were appalled on New Year's Eve when we watched the ball drop in New York. We had NBC 5 on the telly here on the Northern Border of the Greater Chicagoland Area. Wanda Sykes joined in the commentary of the scene in Times Square.
As the ball dropped she made comments about "dropping a Negro down the pole" and how a "Negro would be polishing the ball." These gratuitous stupid comments apparently pass for comedy these days. They were so out of place and inappropriate that everyone in the family room looked at each other and said "What?"
Congratulations to Wanda for being the Inaugural Recipient of the "Monthly Wrong Side of the Saw Kerf Award" for ignorant public behavior. Too bad she couldn't wait until February when we celebrate Negro history.

She was very funny on a recent episode of "Curb Your Enthusiams"
Can't stand her and never could. She's Just. Not. Funny. Insulting your audience isn't comedy, it's just pathetic. She's a no talent hack that only got where she is because someone needed a black comedian. Big Whoop.
