I generally don’t get behind boycotts and the likes, but check out this post Jasmyn Cannick has on that Shirley Q. Liquor character.
Here’s my thing with Liquor–he/she/whatever just isn’t funny. And I’m not trying to say that my definition of what’s funny or what’s decnt should apply to others. I can readily acknowledge when things that offend my sensibilities are funny. This ain’t it. I’m saying that I see no way on Earth this act can be funny unless you just think things in blackface are funny.
And that’s not cool.
So check this out and do with it what you will. ‘Tis my public service announcement of the day.
