Dumping on Steve

Happened across a thread on the Sitcoms Online game show board about the worst hosts ever. This is an open invitation to major hating, and the posters don't disappoint.

They drub lots of the usual suspects from the game show Interwebs. I agree with some, would quibble with others. But the guy who attracts the literally largest type is the Family Feud incumbent, Steve Harvey:
Steve IS NOT FUNNY on Family Fued [sic] because he is totally, completely and immorally out of place on this show....Here, he is just a homie jester trying to be funny with jokes a majority of his audience has NO CHANCE of finding amusing...He is best appreciated by inner-city urban residents that get his inside "hood jokes" and blatant, hard to figure out "ghetto slang."
The poster puts this blast in what looks like 16-point purple type, just to make sure nobody misses the rant. The huffing and puffing even produces a misspelling of "feud."

I'm not the biggest Harvey fan, but this anti-ghetto whine seems way wide of the mark. Anybody who can't understand what Steve Harvey is saying on Feud can't understand English. He's hardly doing shuck and jive that's incomprehensible to the non-ghettoized.

Not that Steve cares about a few rants on the web. The Nielsen Company speaks much louder, and they've been giving Steve a lot of love.
