stylenxs ::: Favorites Thank you for your postingings. I found them thoughtful and insightful. I am sorry that you have taken offence to the videos. But I greatly appreciate your point of view and I encourage you to make a video of your own and post it as a "video response" to my Shirley clips. I think your arguments are worth considering and a "video response" might garner more attention. I may not agree with your opinion, but I value it none-the-less. Thank you for taking the time to share your views. 07-09-12 02:22:46 __________________________________________________
urbaandiultra ::: Favorites This simply is not "hilarious" to a group of people who have been systematically victimized by this type of stereotypical humor throughout U.S. history. Getting a cheap laugh to make fun of ethnic stereotypes (particularly by a Caucasian male in black face) 07-09-11 20:00:50 __________________________________________________
urbaandiultra ::: Favorites is not a joke to millions of African Americans who have faced discrimination solely on the basis of their race for centuries. Furthermore, comments such as "lighten up" etc. that I have read really highlight the need for diversity training/awareness even within the gay community. 07-09-11 20:00:26 __________________________________________________
urbaandiultra ::: Favorites You would think that a community which has experienced gay bashings, discrimination in employment and housing as well as violations of their equal rights in regards to partnership rights etc. would be more sensitive to how offensive this material is to African Americans. It should be noted that many African Americans didn't "lighten up" when Isaiah Washington (formerly of Grey's Anatomy) made derogatory comments about the sexuality of his colleague. 07-09-11 19:59:32 __________________________________________________
urbaandiultra ::: Favorites Many African American people I spoke to were greatly offended that a man who knows what it is like to be discriminated against would say such things. On the other hand, at least he apologized publicly and privately and tried to make amends by doing commercials promoting tolerance. 07-09-11 19:59:10 __________________________________________________
urbaandiultra ::: Favorites The performer "Stylenxs" as well as "Shirley Q. Liquor" make no apologies for their actions even when individuals directly state that this material is offensive to them. As Martin Luther King once said "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". And this type of offensive humor is an injustice to millions of Americans (both African American & Caucasian) who risked their lives fighting for civil rights in America. 07-09-11 19:58:44 __________________________________________________
urbaandiultra ::: Favorites It should be noted that the civil rights movement paved the way for the gay rights movement in America and the least these performers could do is acknowledge that regardless if "Shirley Q. Liquor" is "hilarious" to them, that it is in fact a painful reminder to many African Americans of how media was used to degrade and humiliate African Americans throughout U.S. history. 07-09-11 19:58:20 __________________________________________________
braxmed ::: Favorites OMG. i laughed for 1 minutes and 57 seconds straight. this is HILARIOUS! good work! 07-09-11 01:28:47 __________________________________________________
urbaandiultra ::: Favorites I don't think people really want to accept how African Americans have been mistreated and degraded throughout the history of this country, because if they did, they would request that this performer stop degrading black people forthwith! "Funny"? This is racist and insensitive! 07-09-10 03:49:53 __________________________________________________
urbaandiultra ::: Favorites I suggest everyone start by renting "Unforgivable Blackness" for a history lesson on how black people were/are viewed & how racism is alive & well in this country. There is a need for more enlightenment on the subject of "race" in America. How can one "lighten up" to this disgraceful stereotyping of black southern females? Black people have gone through too many horrors to tolerate this stereotyped "mammy" impersonator! 07-09-10 03:49:31 __________________________________________________
