Paul Mooney: Know Your History - Jesus Was Black ... So Was Cleopatra

IT'S TRUE GRIT. IF YOU'RE "REAL" YOU'LL LOVE IT. HE TELL IT LIKE IT "T-I-S"

I really liked this special. Paul Mooney is hysterical. His delivery is perfection and his stage presence is masterful. He commands the audience like NO OTHER! Very, Very, Very funny stuff.

I did however feel that Paul came off as somewhat bigoted towards white people as a previous reviewer noted. I am a very liberal person and I am ALL for knowing your history as an individual and ethnic group, but I felt like Paul (at times) seemed almost TOO rooted in the anti-white sentiment for me to fully root for him.

Don't get me wrong, I cracked up. In fact, I had tears running down my face at moments. So, as a stand-up routine he earns the high marks. I just disagree with his views that ALL white people are racist and was even insulted by Sandra Bernhard reitterating that ideology in her little cut-to interview segment.

Paul's comments about bringing America back to Jesus Christ were a little hypocritical seeing as his language choice isn't very Christian in verbage. For a so-called Christian to get on a stage and spout profanity and attitudes that are hateful and bigoted is very wrong-at least in my opinion as a Christian individual. Also, how do you stand up on a stage and tell people to find faith with Christ and then the next second tell people that DNA has proven that humanity can be traced back to one African American woman over 10,000 years ago? Isn't that kind of against the whole Adam and Eve theory? If you are going to walk the walk, you have to TALK THE TALK in that sense. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION THOUGH! :)

my overall opinion of his comedy is very high. I loved it. It was hilarious. But, I do think Paul should wander into new territory as a comedian and not dwell on bashing us Caucasion folks. I know white America has some nut-jobs, but every race does. Trust me, We aren't all bad!! I think that dwelling on negativity only creates more negativity and I feel like that is the end-product of his words. We need to move on as a nation and be unified, not segregate ourselves more than we were in the past.

Bottom Line: LOVE PAUL'S COMEDY; Dislike the reverse racism.

Paul Mooney is in session. Leave your misconceptions at the door. Come on in and get ready to be educated. You may not hear what you're used to hearing but you will be hearing the truth. Funny, laugh out loud truth. Is it comedy? What is comedy? Will it make you laugh? Yes. Will it make you uncomforable? Maybe. Should it be missed? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Class is in session.

I really enjoyed this. Paul Mooney had sone a good job with analyzing America(as always) and made it funny. I had tears running down my cheecks it was so funny. I hope to buy his other works too.

paul mooney paul mooney paul mooney by far my favorite comedian grab the popcorn and pay attenion cause the funniest jokes are the ones you have to think about
