Marty B TV - Enjoy!

I don't know how much air time this has gotten outside of the DFW area, but for those of you who aren't 'in the know' ....

Martellus Bennett is a backup tightend for the Dallas Cowboys. A Native Texan (gotta like him just because of that!), and Aggie, this young fellow (22) is a closet comedian. He has started his own YouTube Channel, Marty B TV. If you like the Cowboys, or hate them for that matter, or just like to see some fun stuff, subscribe to his channel and enjoy.

Martellus' latest video effort is called 'Black Olympics', where he and his older brother engage in eating contests in his kitchen - watermelon, chicken, Koolaid, etc. It's all in fun, poking fun at black stereotypes, and not taking anything seriously. (BTW - there's not a white person anywhere in it)

This video has created a firestorm of controversy, primarily from outraged black folks who see this as an insult. Let's see - this is a black guy making fun of black stereotypes - where is the insult? Anyway, all these 'pundits' are coming out of the woodwork, giving grandiose statements about how he is 'dissin' MLK and Rosa Parks , et al. Latest is a popular black sports columnist for the Dallas Morning News, Jean Jacques-Taylor, who blasted Martellus in a column this morning entitled "Stereotype-laden video disrespects the work of civil rights heroes". Jean, I know it is the Cowboy's off season, and you are hurting for something to write about, but come on ....

Marty B is just having some fun. He's black, so what is the problem? If Tony Romo did a video on this subject, then there might be an issue ....

Good grief ... Don't know who it was that said 'if we can't laugh at ourselves, then we're no fun at all', but it was a wise statement. I don't hear these 'pundits' complaining about Katt Williams, or Dave Chappelle ....

Anyway, enjoy Black Olympics ....
