Judge Mathis is not here for how Black comedians have been at each other’s necks lately. The TV star sent a clear text on Friday: take the look for the sake of all Black people!
In a clip which he shared on his Instagram page, Judge Greg Mathis got straight to the point. But, he didn’t call out anyone specifically.
“I wanna request to our comedians to stop going after each other in public like this. You’re embarrassing yourselves, you’re embarrassing our community. I know many times you have to defend yourself about what’s being said, but why can’t you do it directly?”
He also said that he thinks the Black community is “being laughed at” and that big-name Hollywood executives are eating up the public beef.
“You don’t see this in other communities. That’s why I say you’re hurting yourselves, and you’re hurting our community and you’re hurting the young people who are looking, and want to learn and need to learn how to resolve feud in a better way.”
As the minute-long clip continued, Mathis addressed what some might call his hypocrisy, given his blowouts on his court tv show.
“I’m no saint, I’m guilty of having temper issues from time to time on my show. That’s entertainment.
You guys say what you want as part of your entertainment, but don’t go out your way and personally attack each other, particularly your families. I request to you for that. Let’s not turn on each other, let’s turn toward each other.”
