    85% of his current routine is making fun of white trash who shop at walmart, i need you guys to stop acting suprised. With that said it is clear that you didn't watch the whole special or are too yound to realize that until like 2010 almost every black comedy had an element of transphobia, possibly as a reaction to how white audiences loved to see them dressed up as old fat women. (even the boondocks made fun of madea) Really though most of what he complains about is homonormativity, specifically when he goes on about white libs putting their lgbtq identity at the forefront of their lives until minorities start being scary, at which point they fall right back on the cops, buraucracy and human resources shit.

      lol the "white audiences wanted to dress up black people as women to humiliate them" is such a bad faith cop out peddled by people like tariq nasheed, (this is obvious by the fact that the vast majority of people who peddle this idea will continue to insist that black men being dressed up as women is still negative even if they do it themselves totally willingly, that femininity is simply inherently negative and they are being tricked by the white homos) it also completely ignores the reality that the most popular films that have done this for decades are tyler perry films which are overwhelmingly popular with black audiences. Like there are a billion legitimate grievances with white people's treatment of black people, this isn't one of them and it just muddies the water and gives room to reactionaries trying to divide and conquer

        Tyler Perry is overwhelmingly popular with church people, not all blacks. Also willingness in Hollywood is iffy, it's why Dave became legendary for walking away. Frankly i don't want to talk out of my ass about toxic masculinity, the boondocks is still my favorite show.
