I mean damn! Can we not be objective about anything? SMDH @ Tyler Perry
Everyone is familiar with Madea from Tyler Perry. He has made a fortune from being a funny black woman with ghetto DNA all thru her. Now here comes the double standard.
Comedienne and professional drag queen Chuck Knipp thinks that it should. He has cultivated his own version of Black woman drag queen
comedy under the titles ‘Shirley Q. Liquor’ and ‘Betty Butterfield.’
Knipp’s portrayal of a Black woman is causing a stir for some because he
is a White man from Canada. People question whether or not these are
just jokes or if he is really a racist White man that is using his drag
routine to disrespect Black women. This doubt has launched people to
launch campaigns against the comedian.
Sometimes I see why people don't take us seriously because we accept b******* from our own, but the minute someone that doesn't look like us tries it, we are ready to picket and bring down. Personally, I think Tyler Perry is a detriment to the image of black women with his Madea Scripts so me thinking this pilgrim is stupid is consistent. But please explain to me the difference between Madea and Shirley Liquor? Which one gives a better spin on black women? Hell on black men for that matter? It coincides to me with black people using the N-word and wanting to beat another person's ass for using the same word. If the intent is the same, which is comedy, why is one okay and not the other?

Good morning Know. As you said... one of our own. I believe we are more tolerant of our own because we assume they understand what it is to be Black in America. You know, I can call my friend/sibling/loved one a name, but you can't. We assume that anyone else, ESPECIALLY a White person doesn't understand. With all the perceived advantages that White Americans have and we struggle with, I think we view it as a slap in the face.

What's going on Juan? Maybe it's just me being too serious but that s*** bothers me with Tyler Perry too. LOL! If we are firm on our position about racial tolerance, shouldn't that carry over into areas where we are the biggest conspirators? I think this is why people are quick to say we "play" the racial card and it diminishes situations where race really is an issue. They have a site dedicated to bringing this dude down. How many of those same people support Tyler Perry I wonder?

We def lay in the weeds to play that race card. I think it's two fold... we don't trust America. Yet, it's still the best thing going. (We ain't goin' NO WHERE)

Good Morning. I can't believe they have a website dedicated to shutting this dude down, but not to Tyler Perry. It clouds real issues that will need to be explored with racist undertones when we waste that time on praising one idiot for his act and hazing another idiot for the same act.

its comedy comedians make fun of everyone is his routine solely towards portraying the black woman, if not who cares and if it was so what its comedy. It amazes me how black folks can joke, imitate and even bash white folks in their comedic routines but as soon as someone of another race does it everyone wants to gasp and pause. Do what you do and if its funny as hell then keep getting paid to do it. LOL it may represent some folks in my family but it don't represent me and we all know we got some ghetto acting folks in our families.
We claim to be a strong race but whine about every damn thing uuugh, -

I had to go watch a few videos before I made a statement because to me it depends on what the Act is actually like.
But we all know that most flaming hot homosexuals somehow always seem to act out and over exaggerated black woman. We have always known despite the hype that black women have always been the center of the womanhood universe. Viewed as what it is to be a real strong woman, it just would be any comedy in being a sister like our first lady.
Comedy accentuates the crazy, the hilarious, the funny attributes of human life, it just so happens ignorant people are funny as hell. So comedy a lot of times accentuates the ignorant aspects of what ever they are talking about or depicting.
You can usually tell if its offensive. -
