ARE YOU OFFENDED?....WANDA SYKES SPEAKS AT WHITE HOUSE DINNER

Get over it. She's a comedian. And while, yes, maybe she pushed the limits of what might be considered funny, she was just telling jokes. We all have our own opinion of what we consider to be a good/bad joke. I will admit, I laughed. I didn't get offended. I have been a long time fan of Wanda Sykes. I can say that even after that bit, I am still a fan. She has said no worse than many other "shock" comics around the globe. We laugh at those. Their only difference is that they are not speaking at the White House. Do I think that they should have apologized for her jokes? NO. Do I understand why they did? Yes. Most of you would have or did laugh at it when you heard it, so why act so offended? In case you missed it, here it is in it's entirety.

She should get her fact straigth before she speaks, on second thought just keep her evil ideas to herself
