Do you think it's offensive? There's lots of Negative comments on the comment section full of racism, conspiracy etc. And the video itself got a lot of Negative thumbs.

No, it's actually satirically (look to the recent "Republicans are people too" ads) cutting the legs out from under the white establishment by clearly numbering the days of whatever white dominance that establishment might hold on to still.

If anything, it's the slightest bit racist towards whites, and frankly that's okay. Anyone who takes offense to this short is simply not understanding the message of the piece.

It's Saturday Night Live, a show full of gag reels and comedy skits. Why would anyone be offended by that?

Stupid as hell. But black people mock themselves like that all the time only better.

I have been asking myself that for many, many years now.

No, I don't think white people felt offended over it.

it's satire. There's no need to be offended.
