Sommore said it. I've heard that comment before coming from black people and I'm sure it's just a joke.

Joke or not, it offends me. It that was the other way around, they'd have the NAACP up in the middle of VH1 so fast their heads would be spinning.
It's racist. Period.

I think because they are all friends either race could have said it and it would have been fine (minus Dustin, his ass should stay silent all the time). We don't know their group dynamic, maybe in their group its okay to say things like that. I know with me and my friends its fine.
My friends and I were hanging out, and a few of us are biracial, and we would dance to hip hop and then Britney spears with the same enthusiasm, of course that has nothing to do with race, and then my friend said, "I can't hang / deal with you mixed folks anymore, pick a damn genre and stick to it!" The friend who said that happened to be Caucasian (specifically Lebanese). If it hadn't have been one of my friends, i probably would have been offended, but since it was my crazy friend, I laughed at her, it didnt bother me in the least.
I'm guessing that's how it is with them.

the only person that was complainig about race was dustin. and sommore's a commedian, she talks about race all the time, but she also makes jokes about her own race. she's not a racist at all. you talk about how your so offended by sommore making that comment, but whats really offensive is the fact that you think you know exactly what would happen if the tables were turned. I'm so tired of people thinking that everything we say and do is racist, and that all we want to do is accuse everyone else of being that way. you're taking on the basic idea of racism and making it seem as if all black people are the same, based on what you see by al sharpton and jesse jackson. we're not all like that and its really annoying that someone thinks they automatically know how someone will react based on their race.

Well, it sure would be nice if a popular black person would speak up and say, "HEY, YOU TWO...STFU!"
why should anyone have to. the people who dont agree with them dont even bother to waste their time with them, and thats how it should be. people should have enough sense to know that everyone is their own person
shareYeah, I guess all Muslims shouldn't speak up either saying, "hey...we're not like those radicals flying planes into buildings and beheading journalists." Good point, pffffff...

No. Not really. It all depends on the situation, the intention behind it and how everyone else reacted to it. I'm sure if a comedian (presumably white) said it surrounded by a bunch of black people "This is the last time I hang out with black people" I'm sure they'd all just laugh because that was Somone (sp?)'s intention behind it and everyone laughed.
Seriously, stop picking useless fights.
