She is not doing anything any other comedian wouldn't have done or have not done in their own way.
Nope..I don't see the problem. It was funny to me.

I think the tweets were way worse then the skit. LOL
My POV: Some truth,some funy,some sambo. Like most Black comedy I see these days so who cares?
Black comedians may hide behind their "jobs" all they want. But when it comes down to it they are basically telling jokes in the guide lines of racism and use a certain formula to gain popularity and checks.
Yes comedians are free to say what they want,and non - comedians are free to criticize who they want. SNL has never been on the cutting edge when it comes to Black comics,they seem to always choose a certain type. Compare SNL to In Living Color, totally different,and ILC was way funnier!
