I hope you're not suggesting that Kidd is trying to insult people, because I certainly don't think so. I think I have heard him mention people "talking black" and while it's true you can't talk a color, that particular style of speaking did come from somewhere and I doubt it was Europe. Would it better if he said, "speaking with an African accent/dialect"? It might be, but is it really necessary? Do we have to be perfectly PC about everything?

As far as asking what people do for a living...I don't see the big deal. Are people supposed to feel ashamed for what they do for a living?

It would be pretty sad if that were the reason they were canceled.
