White Hollywood has an obsession with black men in drag just like Frances Cress Welsing wrote in her book, The Isis Papers. Its a way to make fun of black men and women. What does this do to the psyche of black children, men imparticular. In the top picture called the usual suspects (taken from Cocoas blog on the same subject) you see a lot the top comedians in drag. Not pictured in drag, but he also participated was Richard Pryor, action star Wesley Snipes, Ben Ahmad played stereo character Jar Jar in Star Wars. This is practically forced with heavy persuasion from white producers. This was the big issue with Dave Chappelle. He stated on Oprah Winfrey how the producers kept insisting that he put on drag. As a result of him not doing it, this led to the departure of his show. Its no coincidence that he is not on another network or in the public eye like he was before.
With the rise and popularity of reality shows brings another person. The only difference is this, is a real transvestite. Laverne (shown in last picture) was a contestant on the show, Who Wants To Work For Diddy? As this person was eliminated, I was so glad. Although that person's presence is not there, what about the long term affect on people and younger minds? What about this Madea character played by Tyler Perry? Although he makes some great movies other than with the Madea character, how did he get to sell his movies in Walgreen's and blockbuster so easily?
There are a lot of black independent movie producers out there trying to get into Blockbuster and the latest DVD vending machine market. They are held back because the controlling powers do not want to promote them. They would rather promote a black man in drag before a real man or woman promoting a real man in most cases.
Public Enemy made a song called, Burn Hollywood burn. Its no coincidence that a major Hollywood studio caught on fire a few months ago. California has been raging with uncontrollable fires burning Hollywood and a lot of big Hollywood producers and actors/actresses homes.
We need to distribute and support our own images. We watch movies about other races and respect them. Its time for other races to watch and respect us.
