Reggie Brown’s act was cut short this weekend at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans after he made a number of racially tinged jokes about Obama and proceeded to make fun of a few Republican presidential contenders, reports the Washington Post.
“My mother loved a black man and, no, she was not a Kardashian,” Brown said. He also made a joke about how First Lady Michelle Obama celebrated all of Black History Month but he only celebrated half the month. In addition, Brown showed a picture of Fred Sanford and his sister-in-law Ethel from the show Sanford and Son and said that’s what the Obamas will look like when the president leaves office.
Seems ole Reg received huge applauds and laughs when delivering racial jokes about Obama however, when he poked fun at GOP presidential nomination candidates his mic was cut off, the music kicked in and he was shown the door by an escort.
Typical GOP behavior, they can dish it out but can not take the heat (think Trump, Palin and Bachman) when the joke is on them.
Here is the GOP's explanation for giving our boy Reg the boot...
Brown was eventually escorted off the stage when he was setting up a joke about Michele Bachmann. “I just thought he had gone too far,” said RLC President and CEO Charlie Davis. “He was funny the first 10 or 15 minutes, but it was inappropriate, it was getting ridiculous.”
Translation:
The coon act was very funny and tasteful but, when Toby err I mean - what's that Negro's name - yeah Reggie had the audacity to make fun of good, honest and authentic Americans well that is down right disrespectful and inappropriate.
