?Mike & Molly? Joke Angers Navajo Nation
 

fire water! :1orglaugh

The Navajo Nation is demanding an apology after a joke aired on CBS? ?Mike & Molly? referring to Native Americans as ?drunk Indians.?

In the episode that aired last week, Mike?s mother Peggy, who is played by Rondi Reed, quipped, ?Arizona? Why would I move to Arizona? It?s nothing but a furnace full of drunk Indians.?

A spokesperson for the Navajo Nation told TMZ Sunday, ?For a show like this displaying us in a negative light is just unacceptable, they are taking a shot at the entire state of Arizona and its indigenous people.?

The rep added, ?An apology would be the right thing to do, but some damage done can?t be fixed in an apology.?

CBS and the producers for ?Mike & Molly? did not immediately respond to ABCNews.com?s request for comment.

Mike & Molly stars Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell.

People need to chill the fuck out already. Its a joke, relax.

I love how any race can make fun of white people but the minute its the other way around shit hits the fan.

I wish we could all make fun of each other equally with out people getting over sensitive.

till you see a mayo or meth joke :helpme

not just the Navajo Nation, natives in Winnipeg had crap all over their facebooks about it.

That show is so retarded.

I'm from the meth capitol. I make meth jokes all the time. Whities love their meth.

This is how I live my life: I rarely care what others think or speak of me.

Others should do the same, much more enjoyable.

Perhaps they should prove the comment isn't representative.

The White Devils take my land

when have you seen a meth joke on regular tv? you wont because their not going to go there.

seriously

all they could have said was 'what do we care about the jokes on a show for fat people?'

The Indian spokespersons name was "Drinks like fish"

.

hAAAAAAAAAAAAAha

I can see why they are pissed off. I would be fuming if I was a native. Such a horrible stereotype.

(Reaches for morning paper....reads headline...."drunk native teen boy eaten by dogs")

Seriously, that was in the paper this morning.

I think it's a pretty poor oversight. I mean sure if they were Irish.. :P

wow :1orglaugh

I can see where they'd be so sensitive about it. Alcohol-related problems among their population are a real problem. In Winnipeg it's why most of our 25-odd yearly murders happen.

The natives truly are restless.

if they don't like jokes, maybe they shouldn't watch sitcoms...

keepin it real G - Jack Daniels #1

Sensitive or not, that's not really the way to win fans of any kind.

Insults are not really jokes, so I keep wondering why anyone tries to make a joke like that.

Mike And Molly is a comedy?

What jokes do you tell that do not contain an insult?

dont get me started on brit comedy

Surprised the Gov of Arizona didn't demand an apology.... yet

cant really fix it :2 cents: kind of like the negro knuckleball comment on cbs live tv :helpme

Sorry, if you can't laugh at yourself... Then fuck you.

I am Polish and Irish. This makes me a lucky dumb drunk.

irish people like beer ok by me. im mixed with all kinds of things my great grandmother was apache indian im looking into her roots now seeing where it go's

It sucks what happened to native Americans, but really...they can suck a dick.

God that was mean.................................

BUT FUNNY!

You are for sure going to Hell now for that one!

:winkwink:

could you imagine if they said west phoenix is full of meth zombies? its the truth :2 cents:

If they had used New Mexico the natives would have to shut up... Who here has driven through Albuquerque and waited hours in line on the 40 or further south on the 10 for sobriety checks. Drunk drivers are a serious issue there. Probably why show used AZ.

Is there anything that doesn't piss them off?
Oh and ofcourse they would never joke or say bad things about whites.

:1orglaugh:thumbsup

First off Mike and Molly constantly make fat jokes and since I could lose a few pounds maybe I should get my lawyer to sue over my mental stress. LOL.
Second I see it as indians have been handed millions of dollars with a monopoly gambling business for their areas and us poor fat white guys are being discriminated against by not being able to do the same. Those indians can go fuck themselves.

I'm sure I'll hear what an asshole I am from any indians in this biz but...Oh well.

im polish english born in canada though haha im a really big girl and honestly either it is all ok to poke fun at and make jokes or it isnt i personally laugh at fat jokes cause well hey im fat and to me there is nothing wrong with who i am lol i have a twisted sense of humor ...a joke is a joke period haha let loose and have fun with life

If you want to know who has the issue... look at who's complaining the loudest. Life really is that simple. A healthy, well adjusted person doesn't get offended about everything and expect the world to change in accordance to their personal problems and insecurities. A bitter, selfish, insecure person with low self esteem does. Making sure they never get insulted does not raise their self esteem or make them more secure with themselves. A joke is a joke. End of story. If you're offended, then you're the problem, no matter what the content of the joke is.

Ok, here's one :

A White guy, Black guy and an Asian guy climb to the top of suicide peak vowing
to commit an act of sacrifice.
When they reach the top the Asian guy screams "This is for my people!" and
jumps to his death. The White guy then screams "This is for my people!" but the
Black guy screams "Wait! It's my turn!". The White guy yields and nods OK.
The Black guy then screams "This is for my people!" and throws the White guy off.


:1orglaugh

As a white person I feel offended and insulted.

Cool!

That was the point of the joke; to offend the person who replied to my post.

:pimp

Oh and ofcourse the only reason the topic started posted this is because he hates white people with a passion.

arizona is full of drunk navajos. stereotypes exist for a reason

I was only joking, I dont get offended by jokes, I was only trying to show no matter how harmless a comment some idiot is going to take offense or take it as an insult. These indians need to stfu and start worrying about their own problems instead of blaming whitey for everything. Its just like around here, they are crying poverty but their band leader is driving around in a $ 90000 escalade.

Some people need to get a fucking life if they're gonna make such a big deal over such a thing. Like people say, it's a sitcom, trying to be funny, it's not like it was something serious like a presidential debate.

I used to watch that show, but haven't in a while after finally realizing that it's just not that good of a show. Mike (the big lead actor) poked fun at his own size quite a bit in early episodes, I'm surprised no bigger people started shit because he was making fun of bigger people.

A lot of insensitive people here. I can't believe that "joke" made TV.

It's a million times more selfish to expect the world to change in accordance to your sensibilities. That, my friend is indicative of a truly sick mind.

I'm sure they can buy a whole new reservation for that escalade. :1orglaugh

I heard them say the joke offended them; don't remember the part where they
blamed whitey for everything. Seems like you just made that shit up.

Look up "Idle No More" movement. Pretty sure that has gone into the US now and not just in Canada anymore. We have to listen to these fuckers whine all the time and they are blocking our roads and causing problems for everyone else and the government does nothing. If I got a group of friends together and set up blockades on major highways I'd be in handcuffs so fast it would make your head spin.

And the point about the escalade was the corruption by their own people. They want to blame whitey(see idle no more movement) but the people they have entrusted to lead them are robbing their own people.

Millions of government dollars spent, no record of where that money went. I have a tip for them, some of it went to pay for their band leader's escalade while the rest of them live in squalor.

You said that as if we (USA) don't have a president that drives around in a million
dollar car with a billion dollar jet while plenty of Americas don't even have a squalor
to live in.

Here is a typical broke person's home off the reservation :

About the other stuff you said : If you can't acknowledge that natives in North America got
a raw deal and it's still a raw deal then I can only describe you as ignorant or just
plain bitter about reality.
