The part about the Irish was pure humor.  And if it had been said on a TV comedy review in the past, it would have gotten a laugh from the Irish also.  (Yes, we were not PC in the old days. and language has been cleaned up now.  But our careful words sometimes cover up things that need to be said.)

He said things that needed saying.  He said for black men to change the way they treat black women.  They need to--the men were mostly raised by strong black women.  Black women were important in the community; they often held it all together.  (Ever notice in the cartooms about Curtis how much power is held by the black ladies in the large hats?)

He said black parents need to change the way they treat their children.  Right on--but we have made progress down here:  When black families started eating out (at the big buffet places mainly), the kids did not stand quietly in line--and they sometimes got cuffed around.  Neither parents nor kids had been around to observe white folks' public manners (which are not always so good, either.)  Now those black children--who might be with either white or black parents, BTW--don't get cuffed in public.  Do you think we could aspire to speech in white homes and black homes that does not denigrate members of either race?
