A black man on the news last night said the proposed caveman show is racist and an insult to blacks.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I was looking forward to the show. Should’ve known that racial politics would stick it’s ugly head up and ruin it.

Maybe if everyone got the 40 acres and a mule they were promised....LOL I want my reparations, since European nobles kept my people down for hundreds of years!!

...and an insult to blacks.

No more than Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton....

[wardaddy]

three jewish guys play neurotic cavemen and this insults blacks?

that is ridculous

are these blacks who object saying they feel as blacks they are closer to cavemen genetically than say your average cracker?

if not then why do they care?

anybody got that human development timeline thingie so we can check the veracity of these crybabies?

[wardaddy]

most of the blacks whining today aren’t even old enough to remember real racism

racism today is a crutch....a bogeyman phantom used to bring whites and asians to a degree to heel

[Redcloak]

Perhaps he meant that it’s an insult to the intelligence of Black TV viewers.

...and White TV viewers.

...and Latino TV viewers.

...and Asian TV Viewers.

...and Gay TV viewers.

...and Elderly TV viewers.

Well... Basically, anyone with a TV ought to be offended by such a stupid idea for a TV show.

[Grimmy]

So, black activists now identify with vaguely feminized, metrosexual, weak chinned, whiny limp wrists with bad haircuts?

Or maybe it’s the silly poser way the cavemen try so hard to seem so culturally elite and progressive that has caused the radicals to identify with them?

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I always thought that “Amos and Andy” was an insult to cavemen.

[Cincinatus]

The real problem with this series (and the ad campaign it's based upon) is that it mocks liberalism. I've always thought that the Geico commercials were a parody of the modern "grievance culture," in which every offended group is entitled to copious apologies, groveling, and restitution. Liberals will hate this series because it satirizes them; they're perfectly fine with comedy that makes fun of conservatism or moral values.

I give this thing a 10% chance of survival. Too many oxen being gored here.

[Mark was here]

Homer Simpson is is a stupid white guy. The yellow is just a beard.

[sportutegrl]

Does anyone see the irony in this? The Geico commercials are about a self-identified group of people, (cavemen) who complain and whine that have been "insulted" by a Geico ad. Now another group of professional grievance mongers complain that the tv show is somehow insulting to them. Yeah, it is insulting to RACE BAITERS. Of course the Jacksons and Sharptons don't like it -- it hits too close to home.

There are so many negative vibes around "Cavemen"

This is what passes for news today?

[uncitizen]

OH...mygod!

“A black man on the news last night said the proposed caveman show is racist and an insult to blacks.”

That says an awful lot about where this man’s self image lies.

Have you seen the cavemen interview.

The commercials were funny, watching effete cavemen violating caveman stereotype.

Apparently, the show producers cannot tell the difference between effete and flaming gay.

The actors were not funny and sounded like they had been recruited directly from a San Francisco bathhouse. This show is unlikely to see the light of day.IMO

[Fzob]

The producers revealed that one of the cavemen is gay.

This is too stupid for words.

[Ruddles]

Still waiting for PBS to run a retrospective of Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp.

[Living Free in NH]

Somehow, I never thought about racism when I watched this skit on SNL

[TigersEye]

Humor. So easy even a caveman could get it.

A liberal? Fa gedda boud it!

[TheTruthAintPretty]

I’d be insulted if I was compared to a snooty, whiney “metrosexual”, too!

[t_skoz]

I hope it works out because my friend from high school is starring in it and it could be his big break into the top tier of show business!
