“American Idol” is so overwhelmingly popular that it doesn’t make sense for me to talk about how much I dislike it, but a good example why I can’t watch it is this collection “Idol” scenes that Jimmy Kimmel showed on Wednesday night’s “Kimmel Live.” Without going into details too much, it’s mostly Randy Jackson abusing the concept of percentage. And also the concept of black people being cool. Man, is there a single black person on TV whose lame-ass “bro-dawg” shtick is a bigger insult to black culture?
I meant that question rhetorically, but the answer is yes: Stuart Scott.

i do hate black people… no just kidding, me and John Mayer hang out in the hood with 40s and lowriders all the time… in fact, i had a nanny who was allowed to look me in the eye
Stuart Scott is black?
There are three kinds of people in this world… those who understand math and those who don’t.
Randy Jackson is 3,000,000% sure that he isn’t the father of LeShanda’s baby.
The least black thing about Randy Jackson is that he was in Journey. He stopped being recognized as black 20 years ago.
That headline is 8 million percent true.
SURPRISE, ‘AMERICAN IDOL’ IS STUPID
Another hero fallen.
Randy Jackson was in Journey? Wow, he’s not even worth lynching now.
