Lesbian comedian Julie Goldman of The Big Gay Sketch Show, which airs on Logo, MTVs gay channel, made some interesting comments regarding her thoughts on Charles Knipp and Shirley Q. Liquor last year after activists were able to get a few of Knipp's shows canceled.
The comments were made during the May 17, 2007 episode of She Said What? a weekly online lesbian entertainment talk show featuring lesbian and bisexual women discussing the latest pop culture and entertainment news.
Goldman thought that Shirley Q. Liquor was funny, but not racist because her intent is good.
WTF?
Julie Goldman has been officially added as one of Charles Knipp's supporters. Her comments as you can see in the video were made in the presence of another Black, poet and activist Staceyann Chin who clearly disagreed with her assessment.
Goldman, a white lesbian, clearly illustrates the racial divide in the gay community when it comes to issues of race and class.
If we want to see minstrel behavior we don’t have to go beyond many black entertainer, rappers, comedians and reality show stars who we as a race didn't hold accountable. Of course this is NO excuse for the racist garbage of Shirley Q Liquor in black face. This white gay man is a disgrace. It doesn't surprise me that white gays and lesbians are supporting it. What makes them so different from the white mainstream population anyway? They are showing they can be just a racist and indifferent as any other group. White feminist are showing that same lack of sensitivity and not just in this video. Look at the presidential race and some of the things that white feminist like Geraldine Ferraro said about Obama.

And then while they're talking to the guest about the Big Gay Sketch Show, and Stacyann asks if there are any black people on the show, that other woman pats Stacyann on the knee and states "I think you were the only black lesbian they could find". Stacyann is clearly angry at the lack of diversity and outright racism within the "mainstream" LGBT community, and the other three white lesbians on the show clearly just wish she would shut up and be a good token black lesbian, LOL! I wish I could hear the pre-show conversation, it seems Stacyann was pissed from the start!
