Chile please I loves me a good drag queen, that OWN being a drag queen. In this case it seems to me like the continued ejaculation of black men in the entertainment industry by making it perfectly analceptable in the mainstream to put a 6 foot 4 inch black man in a dress and wig, for the masses to laugh at and it's totally acceptable. It bothers me when most black actors do this not just TP. You don't see actors of other races doing this shit on the regular but it's become commonplace for blacks. I mean, would this mess have been successful, if he played a crazy ol' grandfather??? Or if the character was played by an older female Moms Mabley type actress??? Probably not. Therefore, a HUGE component in the humor for many is that it's a black man dressed as a woman. That's odd to me.

Another aspect of irritation in TP's case is that he made millions being a not so closeted gay man playing a character in drag and his PRIMARY audience is "good" church folk that are typically quite homophobic. I find all that extra hypocritical. shrug


There i fixed it for ya!
