Black Actors wearing dresses: Does Marlon Wayans Have a point??


Marlon Wayans recently spoke about Black men wearing dresses in Hollywood. During an interview with Los Angeles’ Real 92.3, the star comedian says that the topic only appears negative in the Black community. Marlon referenced legendary white actor Robin Williams, who wore a dress in Mrs. Doubtfire, as being celebrated for their…

  1. I am a 46 year old single white woman so maybe I should not comment at all on something I know nothing about but I will anyway bec that’s what white privilege has given me, the opportunity to speak up even when I have totally misinformed terrible shit to add lmao 🤣
    That was a joke, I don’t truly look at myself as having white privilege bec I was poor growing up and still am but I am starting to see that the color of my skin made my life so much easier but I never knew that. I didn’t even see it when I got my first black friend around the age of 11 or my first gay friend around the age of 13 (I didn’t know she was gay at the time but she become my sister and best friend) so, I guess my point is that a lot of us are just ignorant to other cultures and their struggles. I’m trying to teach myself so that I can pass it on to my kids so that maybe they can help to make a diff.
    As far as this video, I think Katt is taking it a bit too far to call someone like Kevin a sell out or whatever bec it’s comedy!! I think comedy has to be held to diff standards. Just my opinion. I can’t really explain why, it’s just how I feel.
    And Kevin brought along his best friends that were with him when he was nothing, he was able to lift himself up from what he was and what he had & Brought along other for that chance as well, he’s giving back to his culture, his family, his friends, doesn’t that personify what we want in this world? As I said, I am a nothing in this world and my thoughts certainly don’t matter and won’t change anything but I just like you guys and I wanted to comment. I hope I can keep my eyes open for more change in my life, I just try to treat everyone with respect and kindness, but don’t take that to mean I am easy…I will also hack your balls off while you sleep and shove them down your throat if you try to hurt my boys, so, I guess I’m part gangster too 😜
    Great channel guys! Thx for sharing! Be well ❤

  2. I guess Robin Williams, Tony Curtis, Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Gene Hackmen, Robert Di Nero, Al Pacino the list is endless also have been buck broken. If you focus on the colour of someone skin, that's all you see.

  3. Marlon Wayans never has a point. If it’s funny, wear a dress. That’s all their is to it. If it doesn’t hurt MY sense of pride to wear a dress for a bit, what does Marlon Wayans care? D bag.
