I think the comments are being blown up out of proportion here. It just looks like a bunch of wisecracks to me....I doubt there will be a march on Washington.

Is there a link?



Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Not sure what you're in disbelief over? Is it the the fact that Patti is playing a maid or the fact that this thread and the social media comments are god damn ridiculous?? People need to get a real life.

Patti is setting back African Americans a HUNDRED YEARS by taking this role!



I am VERY disappointed in her. She should be playing a better role than that!!



I'm embarrassed for her! An Icon shouldn't be playing anybodies maid...mad




I hear you KCOOL. nod For all of this talk about black & latina maids, how come Hollywood not pushing the roles of white maids as well?

The conspiracy is looking too obvious to me.



Let's not forget about Mrs.Garrett and Adelaide on Different Strokes,Tony Danza on
Who's the Boss, and currently Joey Lawrence on Melissa and Joey. lol

I could understand if she was playing a maid on the West Wing, but this is American Horror Story. I'm pretty sure there will be more to her character than just being a maid.

Apart from Joey, all of those white maids are within the 1980's. There weren't any in the 1990's or the 2000's.

I just want to check to make sure we all understand that she is PLAYING A ROLE!!!

It's sad that all the ignorant degenerates out there in "sosh-meedja" can't wrap their feeble brains around this.

Poitier PLAYED the ROLE of a wandering handyman and WON an OSCAR!

Denzel PLAYED the ROLE of a notoriously CROOKED COP and won an OSCAR!

Let Patti LaBelle PLAY A GOD DAMN ROLE you nitwits!!!

hrmph

THAT^ is true. nod But there were no more white maids archtypes until Joey in the 2010's.

And BTW Dark Knight, Alfred does NOT count! He's a bulter and a former secret agent. wink

What?!? eek And forget about the American entertainment industry's history of using stereotypes as mention in Spike Lee's Bamboozed & Public Enemy's Burn Hollywood Burn?

Now what's the fun in that?

I read an article online where AHS creator Ryan Murphy said that "Diana Ross should be looking for a call for his next installment"...He just put it out there for it to get back to her....Now we know Diana won't be playing a Maid and I don't think he would fix his Lips to ask her to play one or even write a role for her to play one....I could be wrong but I think Ryan knowns better than to TRY Ms. Ross like that....Tyler Perry has been BEGGING Diana to accept a movie offer and he said he told her he would write the script or create the Project just for HER...He said she hasnt given him a NO but she definitely hasnt said yes to anything.....

Diana Ross, just like Janet Jackson, can pick and chose what they want to do. They both married multi-billionaires. They don't have to work the rest of their life's if they don't want to. Diana has already proven herself as a GREAT, Oscar nominated actress anyway. She will not be starring in any Tyler Perry or Ryan Murphy film EVER .. lol

To Patti's credit she doesn't have that luxury like them. But she can do BETTER than that. It's mortifying to me, that she is doing this! The maids, butlers & "Driving Miss Daisy" roles need to STOP right here.

disbelief

Janet doesn't have to work because of her own carreer.

Very disrespectful of you to start with her marriage of a multi-billionare, like that's her biggest archievement.

You said phunkdaddy mention no one from the 90's and that was incorrect, and by the way Alfred does count even more because not only does he have to clean Wayne Manor but the Bat cave as well.

Why Patti then? Why not ask Barbara Streisand?

Ryan said in the interview that he asked Patti to do the show because he Loves her, that was it. I don't like it when people say "why me?" or "Why so and so?"....Why not you? Why not Patti?
