Has-been comic Pauly Shore wants to be black!

Why? Well, here’s what he told a reader of worldstarhiphop.com:
“I need to be black, because if I was black, I’d be doing good. I mean, all the black comedians are doing good.

“You have [D.L.] Hughley, you have Monique, Cedric the Entertainer, Martin Lawrence, Charlie Murphy… Yeah, [Charlie's] funny. But the reason why he’s even working is because what?”

Pauly, 40, has an answer to his own question: “White people are screwed. Especially in my industry, they’re screwed. White people are going to be picking cotton within, like, literally within three years.”

If that weren’t offensive enough, Pauly also drags presidential candidate Barack Obama into his rant: “Do you understand? If you look at their presidential race, right now, who’s their No. 1 candidate? Barack Obama, who is… black!”

Some people just need to keep their mouths shut!
