Katt Williams Calls Out ya favorite comedians 2024 (Shannon Sharp)
They want to water down Black people so bad this makes me upset. I bet they tried to come at Denzel Washington with this bullshit and he cursed them the fuck out.
Not a big deal when looked at in a vacuum...problem comes when you see the number of Black men asked to put on a dress and the number who say they have been asked to put one on....at that point it becomes clear that something is off
Denzel is a god fearing man that had to get Tyler Perry to calm down Will Smith from inflicting bodily harm on another black man who made a joke about Will Smith’s untalented and perpetually unemployed wife.
the only people that will bad mouth katt are the top comedians
thats about 3 or 4
the rest will give him props there is a reason
glover put him in atl
This is kind of weird
Shaq is a known coon. How can white people dislike this image?
I love the walk towards saint hood.
You are watching a legend grow right in front on you. This is how our mind works.
I know Katt does go overboard sometimes, but when content like this is out there it just gives him more fuel.
The content was always there. Shaq had a comedy show during the all star break, and Kevin wanted to ball but his account wasn’t set up that way. We are raised to sell out. We put ourselves on the selling block and call it progress. I caught a glimpse of Friday’s Today Show and 3 or 4 of the 5 people on camera were non white. There are a lot of black people out there that consider that progress.
Stop she’s just a dickhead. What you think she’s the only one? Do you think she’s the last fool in the hood? What was her goal? To get up out the hood? You can be in the hood and not let the negative aspects of it affect you. But instead you amplified the negative aspects of your community and now you’re crying. Why are you crying, young lady?
Dave was in a dress. Or that’s right, he was powerless Dave. Dave has an Asian wife and if he grew his hair out, he would look like Bruno Mars.
So here is my input on this dress thing.
Katt has a fucking perm. A PERM!! Who is he to criticize others for wearing a dress?!!!
Just cause these dudes might have put on a dress for a skit or some movie role, doesn't make them sell outs or coons or gay.
Katt has Little Man syndrome so badly that he has to try to diminish others, in a serious way, to make him feel better about his self.
Katt is a decent dude, but he has a ton of his own issues he needs to sort out.

Listen mfkrs do it, for whatever reason and either they'll keep doing it or they won't.
Sad to admit Patrice O'Neal had on makeup / lipstick and a feminine lisp in a movie with Meg Ryan...
I couldn't believe that shit! But Patrice commented on it as a big regret and never again. Similar to Brandon T Jackson
So a perm = wearing a dress?
Ice T, Snoop and a whole lot of mfkrs would loudly disagree!
lol.... I'm saying that MOST men would say, unless you a West Coast nigga, that wearing a perm is feminine as fuck!!
You think this shit is masculine?!!
I really don't care, but dude has ZERO room to criticize anyone!

I really don't care, but dude has ZERO room to criticize anyone!
So James Brown wasn't masculine?! There's plenty of men outside of the west coast that rocked and still rock a perm!
Now let you say the wrong thing to them........
This isn't really my hill to die on, but just playing DA.......
As far as your thoughts on "little man syndrome"
...etc, aye you might be right.
OK counselor..... I will re-direct.
These are celebrities right? Celebs get a certain level of leeway in these sorts of things.
You go down to the local Piggly Wiggly and see a dude all permed out working in produce and you will think that shit is weird AF.
So I argue that a dress worn by a man for a movie or skit, being done for entertainment purposes, is acceptable and not gay.
Whoa ... Post the YouTube or you're capping. Not my man's Patrice
Nah it's true, Patrice discussed his regret with doing it.
It's from a movie called In the Cut, go to the 3 minute mark:
Man.... You know what I mean when I say perm.
I mean a roller set in your hair sitting under a dryer.
All these specific examples of OGs, Snoop, beards....whatever!
You get my point! Wearing a dress for a movie and wearing one in real life are two totally different things!
She actually ended up being WORSE after that rant and amplified as you said the negative of the community.
This just goes to show how some of these people go against their own moral code knowing the damage they are doing, but disguise it at times as "getting the bag."
Her conscience just ate at her to the point she broke down in that video.
On the other topic about dresses in this thread. It is strange how much of a long line it is for black actors regardless if you acting or not. I wonder if the ratio is the same for other races? Just saying and this goes back too. Plenty of articles on this over the years long before Katt talking about it.

Hollywood loves Black men, especially when they throw on a dress. From Flip Wilson to Eddie Murphy to Jamie Foxx to Martin Lawrence to Tyler Perry, black entertainers have a history of pulling off the slacks and pulling up the pantyhose. Over the last few weeks several of my intelligent, socially-savvy male friends have called me to ask, "What's up with Tyler Perry and the dress?" They used a few more colorful phrases, but I'll leave that to your imagination. I have no idea why they deem me the expert on gender and culture in Hollywood, but I understand their concern. Living and working in New York City where the image of a professional brother is few and far between, it's a bit daunting to walk through a city plastered with posters of Perry—a black man donned in lipstick and dress. But truth be told: I think Madea is Tyler Perry's best offering. He's kind of a comedic genius in that dress.
I remember while I was working on a CW sitcom and two of the other black male writers—braggingly married with children—were the first to throw on dresses for the annual Gag Reel [a spoof the writers do mocking the actors]. I remember thinking: Interesting. It appears every comedic brother has a woman in the repertoire.

Some of the most memorable women in black entertainment have been played by men. This drag tradition with roots in minstrelsy harks back to '70s TV star Flip Wilson's sassy Geraldine character, and most recently has hoisted chitlin auteur Tyler Perry's Mabel Simmons, aka Madea, to superstardom. The sharp-tongued matriarch that Perry has portrayed in six hugely popular movies and a long-running TV show makes a cameo appearance in his new film, "Meet the Browns."
Madea, the seemingly inimitable Aretha Franklin of faux femmes, has yet to inspire knockoffs, but similar drag acts continue to pop up -- the corpulent Rasputia of Eddie Murphy's "Norbit," Keenan Thompson's Virginiaca on "Saturday Night Live," and Martin Lawrence's repeat performance as Big Momma in "Big Momma's House 2," among others. By now, Hollywood drugstores may be running low on plus-size pantyhose.
Perry's core audience began with middle-aged black women, introduced to Madea by the outrageous traveling theatrical shows that made her name. These faithful admirers, and the millions who have caught on since, still can't get enough of the character, but others don't like it hot. Some prominent black men in the entertainment business contend that there's nothing funny about a manly grandma: They say the surefire laugh-garnering power of slipping a macho Negro into chiffon doesn't represent anything but an effeminizing, racist spectacle.
Last year director John Singleton griped to Black Star News, "I'm tired of all these black men in dresses ... How come nobody's protesting that?" And comedian Dave Chappelle told Oprah Winfrey that during a shoot with Lawrence, the writers and producers had twisted his arm to do drag. "'Every minute you waste costs this much money,'" he recalls them telling him. "The pressure comes in ... I don't need no dress to be funny," he said. Chappelle also suggested that their insistence amounted to a "conspiracy," and he got applause for implying a connection between cross-dressing and "Brokeback Mountain," a film in which neither main character -- both of whom are arguably bisexual -- wears anything but hyper-masculine attire.
Chappelle's comment both presumes that impersonating a woman will emasculate him, and that emasculation is equivalent to homosexuality (or at least gay sex, judging by his poorly chosen example). Despite Chappelle's insinuation, it's debatable whether this phenomenon has much to do with a gay sensibility. Perry has denied the abundant rumors about his sexuality, telling Essence magazine that having to fend off the speculation has "given [him] a firm seating in [his] manhood." The newest breed of bruthas in drag has only the most tenuous connection to the decidedly queer cross-dressing entertainment craze of the '90s, exemplified by Wigstock, "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," and "To Wong Foo" -- the main difference being the emphasis on frumpiness.
Crossing Over: A History Of Black Comedians Dressing In Drag
As evidenced by Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son, Hollywood loves to dress black men up as women for any damn reason. We examine this historic trend.FLIP WILSON AS GERALDINE JONES ON THE FLIP WILSON SHOW (1970-1974)
Reason for cross-dressing: To please the white man Strictly for comedic purposes.
Complex says: In 1970, Flip Wilson broke barriers by being the first black star to host his own variety television show. In the show’s prime, it was the second most watched program in the United States, and Flip was presented as “TV’s First Black Superstar” on a Time magazine cover in 1972. But, more importantly, well for the sake of this list at least, he was the first major black comedian to appear in drag, with his portrayal of the sassy Geraldine Jones. It quickly became one of his more popular sketches (the video above shows him with the G.O.A.T., Muhammad Ali). The show eventually got canned in '74 due to a dwindling audience but Wilson's—or better yet Geraldine's—legacy forever rest with him proudly wearing those pumps and then passing those shits down.
