I watched a comedy show DVD: American Indian Comedy Slam (2010). In this comedy show, seven Native American comedians make the audience laugh.
Among the seven comedians, I loved the Charlie Hill’s show the best. For the people who wants to know about Charlie, I found his younger day’s video in Youtube. It says the show was on the Richard Pryor Show in 1977.
Charlie mentions white people should come to native people for advice because Native people have the owner’s manual. Native people taught the Whites democracy and how to fight with British people to become independent. As for how to deal with terrorists, native people have been fighting with terrorists since 1492.
One of the reviewers said that the person could not laugh. Perhaps, the reviewer was a white person. He/she might have gotten offended by hearing about Native people saying about Whites. Maybe this comedy show is not for white people. But this is definitely needed for native people who had not been allowed to speak up for a long time up until now. By laughing very hard, they are healed somewhat. I feel that Charlie is speaking on behalf of their ancestors.
