\n Netflix has pulled an episode of Bob Odenkirk and David Cross\u2019 2015 comedy show \u201cW\/Bob and David\u201d because of a scene featuring Cross in blackface.<\/p>\n

The sketch in question is called \u201cKnow Your Rights\u201d and app<\/a>eared in the third episode of the show\u2019s first and only season. Netflix confirmed to\u00a0Variety\u00a0that the episode has been taken down, but declined to comment further.<\/p>\n

Cross first flagged that the sketch was being removed via a tweet on Monday in which he defended the sketch, saying it was intended to \u201cunderscore the absurdity\u201d of the character he was playing.<\/p>\n

In the sketch, Cross plays a man named Gilvin Daughtry, who says he is part of an organization called \u201cCitizens Against Unlawful Abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to show you how to maintain your rights in the face of police harassment,\u201d Cross\u2019 character says as he films himself pulling up to a police officer played by Keegan-Michael Key.<\/p>\n

Later in the sketch, after a string of unsuccessful attempts to provoke Key\u2019s officer, Daughtry returns in blackface and says, \u201cHello, brother. How can I be of service to you today?\u201d A message saying \u201cevery race in America has equal rights\u201d appears at the bottom of the screen. Key\u2019s officer then brings over a white colleague to deal with the situation, and the white cop proceeds to pepper spray Cross\u2019 character in the face. The officer tases Daughtry and sprays him in the face a second time before the sketch ends.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey all, Netflix is going to pull this sketch from \u2018With Bob & David\u2019 because the ridiculous, foolish character I play puts on \u2018black face\u2019 at one point,\u201d Cross wrote in the tweet. \u201cThe point of this was to underscore the absurdity\u2026well, here\u2019s your last chance to figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Odenkirk also commented on Netflix\u2019s decision and defended the sketch via Twitter<\/a>, saying that the duo\u2019s show was \u201cnever about making a political point.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe considered every choice we made doing our show, and always aimed to make you laugh and think, and never make an obvious or easy point\u2026that very much includes this sketch. Our comedy is always about the human element, never about making a political point,\u201d Odenkirk tweeted.<\/p>\n
