Wardy refuses to wear the dress.......
Sometimes I realize that cable is just a big freakin waste of my free time, but then again what’s wrong with a little mindless entertainment? Anywho, I have always had that desire to work in Hollywood and do the local homeboy does good scenario but something occurred 2 me the other day. It seems like in order to be successful in this twisted world; one must go against what is natural to make it. Yeah I know you looking at the picture and thinking where is he going with this one? Let me help you out with this pimp juice! Why do we have to have a man (no-make that a black man) play the role of a woman when we have so many beautiful black sisters who are REAL women available to do the part? I recall Dave Chapelle speaking about how the people in Hollywood basically demanded that he do a skit dressed as a woman because it would be so hilarious. He declined (actually refused) and people actually got mad at him. I am sure most people who do really see the underlying theme of this type of activity, would just think why not go along with this because it has proven funny in the past. Heck, we all laughed along to Norbit’s Respucha character didn’t we? Madea is more famous than ever, Jamie Foxx did Wanda and had us dang near in tears. Martin did Shay nana and Flip Wilson did Geraldine ( I am dating myself on that one huh?) My point is simply this. I don’t think a comedian can only be funny by playing a woman. It’s so ironic because its basically the black comedians who are asked to play these roles over and over again. It’s almost as common as us knowing who will be the first person killed in a movie-lol!! Sure Robin Williams played the role in Mrs.Doubtfire, but have you ever saw Dinero, John Wayne, Sylvester Stallone or Client Eastwood, in a dress? I think not. Perhaps it is just a coincidence or perhaps it is a way of keeping people in check. But then again this could just be some crazy ramblings of a guy who just bored at work writing a blog-right? Yeah that’s it, cause now that I think about it, the ideal of black men ignoring the model of being a strong presence in society is about logical as thinking the government would injecting the Tuskegee Airmen with syphilis when they were going through what they assumed was a mandatory vaccination for traveling overseas. I am just saying?
I am Ward?
