ANGRY BRONX Goes Madison Ave?!?!?

AngryBronx has always been proud to be pissed-off, to exhort, and incite (incite your thoughts, Commish Bratton). We're always striving to point out the where the seams don't match up, and where the big lie is hidden in plain sight. But Angry is kinda pleased today, and 'tell ya why. This guy:

I've just finished watching the first week of Larry Wilmore's Nightly, and. frankly, I am impressed.

 The Nightly Show is unapologetically Black. It has so far handled REAL news. Topical, nuance-required, newsworthy issues are covered, one per show, in a manner that is intelligent. There's so much minstrel show being indulged in by African-American celebs today it makes one Angry, and angrier--and this B.lacks E.mbarassing T.hemselves (BET, get it?)is usually by performers that should know better, and have sufficient industry status to be able to refuse and decline the stereotyping. 

The one complaint I've read spoke to Wilmore's format being one that celebs and their handlers may begin to consider a no-go, no-wins zone, and so may shy away from bookings, eventually leaving him only authors and comedian commentators as guests. I say, SO WHAT?--GREAT! It's about time the content be praised for wit, insight and message, and the celebrity Q ratings be damned. That's it for now, I'm clear. Over. And out.
