I found this slightly disturbing video of Laura Bell Bundy doing this very offensive character on her own Youtube channel. How did she get away with this? I can't watch it without cringing. Have you guys found anything else like this before? I'd like to know.

That's not blackface.*

*Edit: or is it? For a nuanced discussion, see my later post!

She reminded me of an outrageous Drag Queen.

Mr. Nowack said: "She reminded me of an outrageous Drag Queen."

Funny you say that. This was going to be Derrick Berry's character for season 8 Snatch Game. Glad she didn't do it - this character's far too evolved and nuanced for what Derrick was capable of taking on at the time.

There was a five page thread about this at the time.

IT REALLY IS LBB! How the hell did I not realize that. She's a great actress!

Chad Michaels also did an impersonation of this character of RuPaul's Drag Race on Season 4 for the debate challenge.

Shocantelle isnt blackface. She's a white woman in an urban environment. There are plenty of women like her. If you watch Bundys video of getting into character, she uses a little bronzer for contouring-she doesn't black her face. She may be playing a white woman who appropriated black culture but she's not playing a woman of color.

she seems to be parodying Rachel Dolezal rather than blackface..

It's light hearted and fun, she's not insulting anyone.

These videos were great, I used to watch all the time. I remember last year she made a new YouTube channel to do little comedy bits and covers, if you haven't seen her cover of 'stitches' you have to! I thought it was better than the original

Shocantelle is back and controversy has come with it. Laura’s shocantelle video from a couple days ago is getting a ton of hate.

Perhaps 2017 isn't the time for Shocantelle. It's not blackface, but it could be problematic.
