[Let A Fro Be A Fro]

Chappelle, Denzel, poiter and countless others never did. These nikkas chose to put that dress on

What he say?

What he say?

He said the practice was a demeaning "rite of passage" for black male actors in the past that you saw a lot of them fall into.

imo the most disturbing about this is that it’s a children’s show

 

[Yaboysix]

why you gotta bring up old shyt, bruh?

 

[Tribal Outkast]

It’s worse when it’s not funny

Y'all gotta understand that this notion of putting on a dress means you selling out or feminizing black men, just became popular recently.. Men dressing up as women to play ugly, manly, un natural women, has been a comedy joke for THOUSANDS of years.. Literally

Saying that black men HAD to do it to break in Hollywood is something I didn't hear until Dave Chappelle said it... Then everyone started hopping on the bandwagon like they didn't just finish watching Nutty Professor and Big Momma's House in the same exact time period

Well said paragraph punchline is really the bolded , humans having an incredibly challenging time keeping the same energy as the youngsters call it. Convo for another day tho

Why does every black man have to cross dress to 'make it'. The pattern is so obvious but many refuse to acknowledge it.

When did Wesley Snipes cross dress?

every black man doesn't do that bs. Now far too many have I'll give you that but I can name a few who haven't. And you can too.

Nick Cannon is really overrated as a comedic actor I forgot he was even on All That

Then he had his own show on Nick in 02' that was trash and nobody talks about

He gets clowned for his music but I feel like thats the best shyt he ever did

He played the 'game' very well behind the scenes (heard he would be going around in drag off camera in certain circles for....reasons ) and thats why he's still a factor

What’s crazy is going back and watching def comedy jam and the amount of nikkas that relied on gay shyt is crazy.
