Miami Welcomes Blackface Comic

Well least when Charles Knipps’ blows into town this weekend to perform his alter ego character Shirley Q. Liquor, he won’t be welcomed with open arms from everyone.

According to the Miami New Times, Liberty City activist Rev. Richard Dunn has hatched a plan to mobilize protesters via his radio show he co-hosts with Bishop Victor T. Curry on WMBM-AM (1490). "It shows that unfortunately racism is alive and well in America," Dunn says. "It shows that we are not serious or sensitive enough about the rights of everyone."

Knipps’ is scheduled to perform not once, but twice at the this weekend's Exxxotica convention in Miami Beach.

Exxxotica spokesman Woody Graber refused to answer questions regarding Knipp's act. He says the convention will "showcase a wide variety of exhibitors, seminars, and attendees who embrace alternative lifestyles and ... enjoy a multitude of personal pleasures. Although all may not be of one mind, at Exxxotica we all agree to not pass judgment."

And I’ll add, we’ll just laugh at the fat white gay man who is passing judgment on Black women with his racist act.

For the record, this is bullshit. Porn, sex, and blackface, what a combination.

I smell some jealousy and an uptight publicity hungry half-retarded twat who is so desperate to MATTER that her cause, despite it's obvious double standards becoming evident everytime she opens her fat mouth to judge Knipp, is a lost one- and she can't even see it. Last time I checked, the First Amendment was still part of the Constitution, and I am reasonably certain that no one is being FORCED to she Shirley's act, so my question is : Why can't this bitch get a life and just NOT GO SEE HER??? Seems obvious to me. I know Knipp isnt racist, and neither am I, for that matter, BUT IF HE WERE, I WOULD DEFEND HIS RIGHT TO EXPRESS THAT THROUGH NONVIOLENT MEANS, including speech, characterizations, or what-the-hell-ever. GO FIND A WORTHY CAUSE and leave Shirley Alone!!!

How about all the Black comedians the portray White Americans in a negative ways? Dave Chappelle dressed in White Face.This is ok for black people to make fun of whites because of the past? Do you really want to move on and heal, or just let comedy be comedy? Or should we live in a society like nazi Germany? With no Free Speech.

I smell a double standard! So, its wrong for Shirley Q. Liqour to depict the stereotype of a ghetto black woman for the sake of humour, but its ok to make fun of someone for being white, gay and fat? Youre such a hypocrite.

Let's be honest..

Jasmyne Cannick's is a PUBLICITY WHORE.

She is a high school drop-out who started working the streets at age 15.

No one is interested in ANY of her opinions, unless it involves Shirley Q/Knipps.

I laughed so hard at this comment:

Mel Reeves, a black Miami activist, was insulted when shown a video clip of Shirley Q. Liquor portraying a stewardess for "Ebonics Airlines," in which the black-owned plane crashed from ineptitude. "That insinuates that black people can't run successful businesses."

Let's do business the "AFRICAN WAY: -"

They say it was not even one protester at the Shirley Q. show in Miami and that she had black women as back up dancers and singers.
