Why is the video all f'ucked up?

Dressing in black face, which I condemn, is completely different than dressing up to portray a black person. You really should do yourself a favor and study the actual history of blackface. It was done as a derogatory portrayal of African-Americans. Dressing in black face is not portraying an actual person but attempts to make derogatory statements about all African-Americans. Dressing up to portray a particular black person can be done in a positive manner and can be done as an actual compliment or innocent humor.

I think people (for the most part) are smart enough to decipher the difference, but the right smells blood in the water and their eyes are rolling over white

And that might be an overstatement. I do enjoy watching the left retreat like the French army at the first sign of firecrackers.

The Karl Malone skit was exactly the definition of mocking a caricature of a black athlete, complete with broken english and outlandish views of the world.. When it aired, some people did take offense to it. The fact that he choose Karl Malone, who was conservative gave him shade, if he would have portrayed Spike Lee, it would have not been tolerated.

Same can be said about 1000 liberals but it never happens. You can't with a straight face say that the entertainment industry is not biased toward conservatives. Why is that?

Like the trusty "cover my retreat" tactic.

This reminds me of a joke an English guy once told me.

Q: Why do French tanks have a forward gear?

A: In case the enemy attacks from behind.
