They have lived in a pantheon of privilege their entire lives that separates them from relating to most of the "black experience" but it's naive and dangerous to assume they are completely immune.

Although, as with most satire, I believe their humor acknowledges that that way of thinking is so utterly wrong, and I love that their privilege and schtick helped pave the way for other, less affluent black men and women to break out and do more controversial comedy. They're not trying to deny that racism exists, like so many sitcoms in the past.

They did however make Jim Carrey famous. Which while I don't know if it has done anything negative to black people (other than once again giving mediocre roles that anyone, even a POC, could play to a skinny white guy), I'm pretty sure that's, while not "oh god absolutely terrible", not exactly anything to brag about.

They have lived in a pantheon of privilege their entire lives...

This sentence just makes me imagine them dressed in togas and lounging around on Mt. Olympus as gods.

[danaphilip.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's kinna why I kept it. I can just picture it.

And I am a little disturbed.

I had no idea, omg, I owe so much to them.

*two of my favorite movies are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Truman Show, which need Carrey to survive*

[danaphilip.livejournal.com]

Yeah it was a little show called "In Living Color" *god I wish I had been aware of it during its time* Jim Carrey described himself as being "that white guy" in the cast.

and I rip on James, but truthfully I like a lot of his films too...
It's gentle, fun teasing.

[writerserenyty.livejournal.com]

Oh, OK, huh. I didn't know that. :)

Yeah, he's kind of an easy target, because on the one hand he's doing amazing stuff in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and then there are some of his other movies where you're like "...what are you doing this for?"

And now I feel old.

Seeing In Living Color referred to like that makes me feel old.
