Of course I would normally agree with this but his "Italian voice" was much more stereotypical than his Herman Cain voice (which was not "a Black voice"). I actually heard nothing stereotypically Black about his Herman Cain voice. That is why I was patiently waiting to hear what Donald Trump was talking about. I never heard it. The only thing that made me go "hmmmm...comedians sure say some interesting things sometimes" was his reference to black balls...or black nuts...or something.
