Eddie Murphy’s ‘White Like Me’ skit

This is one of the greatest pieces of racial satire ever, in my opinion. Oh 1984, where did you go? Nowadays all we get is this crap.

(Thanks to Tim Ariah for the video.)

    1984…. Wow! I remember this like as if it were yesterday. And it’s still as funny! Gotta admit, I immediately thought about that “Black & White” reality show, and then I clicked on the “this crap” link. :D

    Oh yeah I remember this skit, it was after he left the show and returned as a quest host in late 1984 and this skit had everybody laughing.

    And yet Eddie feels free to slam Asians with ugly racist stereotypes. Oh the irony.

    My mom is obsessed with this skit, she bought the Eddie Murphy SNL DVD so she could have it always.

    Yeah, that one was classic. Also, check out Chappelle’s skit with John Mayer on white vs. minority music:

    I LOVED this bit; thought it was dead on, and hysterical.
