If it opens up doors for others to get non dress wearing roles then I'm for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was some type of initiation. When Kevin Hart did it, he looked mad reluctant.

Part of the plan to publicly emasculate the black man courtesy of the dominant society. Stay woke.

Btw I dont trust that Lena Waithe chick either but thats a conversation for another day.

When he did it in Saturday Night Live? I remember that being a big deal at the time.

I don’t really rock with her either.

Not to take "their" side but I think it isn't just a Black Actor thing.

For some reason, Hollywood enjoys seeing men dressed as women and they think it is funny.

Maybe it is some sort of "test", who knows.

True but it’s just seems like it’s primarily done with our major stars. They don’t save the dress role for some random. It’s always the A listers it seems.

Don't see a problem with it at all, thread about yambs.

I think since there are so few of us, a higher % of us deal with it.

I agree, it seems like everyone has to go through some Drag type scenario.

Yeah you don't see it so much anymore unless it's THAT comedians idea (Wanda and Shenaynay movie idea ). Guess it's a walk so others can run situation.

Yeah seems like more "classic" comedy thing seeing a man in a dress, wouldn't put ulterior motives beyond them though.

I was so confused when I first saw this.

It’s international humor. Same with potty and fart jokes. Overseas they eat that **** up.

Feel bad for Brandon T Jackson. I think he expected being in Big Mama to put him out there.

I'm telling you fam that they sacrificed so others wouldn't have to. It sucks that it happened but the things black actors have to do in order to get a chance and give a chance to others is ridiculous.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

it's not some conspiracy.

men in drag is usually played for laugh because of the contrast.
it's always masculine person dons women's clothing = haha

if a feminine man does it you got no comedy.

the more masculine the man>the greater contrast>the more laughs you get



racist culture views all black men as hyper-masculine to the point of being subhuman


thus it's extra funny to white audiences when a black man is in a dress.

 

[deusavertat]

lol im not going to let my insecurities about masculinity keep money out of my pockets. For the right price I'd wear a thong in a movie as long as its balanced with other roles.

 

[lamekilla]

Initiation for sure

facts black men being portrayed as hyper masculine violent savages is more problematic imo.
