Black Comedian Catches Heat for Slavery Jokes


Comedian Leslie Jones catches heat for making slavery jokes on Saturday Night Live…

During her bit Leslie congratulated Lupita Nyong'o for being named this year's People Magazine's Most Beautiful Person, while noting how as a 6 ft tall woman she would have been more desirable than Lupita, during slavery days because of the selective breeding practiced on plantations.


After Leslie's jokes fell flat with Black Twitter the comedian lashed out promising to harder and deeper next time because Black people need to learn to laugh at their pain.
