Michael Che vs Some Lady on Twitter #CancelSNL

Published by Interrobang Staff at March 30, 2014

michaelche After the success of SNL’s ‘Black Jeopardy‘ skit on Saturday Night Live which writer and comedian Michael Che helped create, a woman with the Twitter handle @JennMJack took to social media to express her displeasure with SNL’s “racism” and called for its cancellation using the hashtag #CancelSNL. Che decided to get involved and engage the young lady in some twitter chat. It all seemed like a nice fun conversation until uh oh, somebody got blocked. Scroll down to the bottom to see the sketch at issue.

It’s been quite the year for SNL. First complaints about not enough black performers…and now too many black sketches.

Here’s where it all started early Sunday afternoon.

#SNL continues to mock black people but stays on air because why? #CancelSNL

The #BlackJeopardy skit made black people look completely absurd. Why is #SNL still on air? #CancelSNL

Can the #CancelColbert folks get behind the #CancelSNL folks? #SNL has repeatedly begrudged and denigrated blacks. @suey_park

Not only that, they hired @thesheertruth and two blk wmn writers as hush money for the blk community #CancelSNL
