Try this. And if you can't see the difference I'll be surprised. "
patronizing with a capital P :)

Posted: 7/18/10 at 10:41pmI really wasn't aiming for that. I honestly don't see how you could look at that little capsule history of blackface and not see how Keenan impersonating Reba is an entirely different thing. Honestly.

Posted: 10/2/10 at 2:43pmEddie Murphy does devastating imitations of entitled white folks and poor white trash and nobody calls him a bigot. This didn't offend me and I am easily offended by people doing blackface because, as I said here before, my parents actually did minstrel shows which is shameful enough but par for the course for 40s and 50s performers.

Laura's a nice girl, she's talented, loved her in Hairspray.
Yes, people DO call Eddie Murphy a bigot but they completely miss that he is a black person making satirical commentary on the dominant (in every sense of the word) culture he lives under. THAT'S the difference.

Shocantelle's Crib.
Her face is not as dark as it was in I-Be-Weave Salon. She makes a lengthy reference to being multi-racial.
Add me to the list of posters who had NO idea she was this sharp and funny.
It's GONE

Posted: 10/2/10 at 9:47pmI noticed that too... her make-up was much lighter in follow-up videos with the Shocantelle character (especially the lips.)
