Why is this funny? I don't get it, someone explain the reference
Here is the context

At 1 point during the Oscars, they had Whoopie Goldberg mention that black people are hardly getting roles in movies. They then went on a series of nominated movie spoofs where they would add a black actor into the nominated movie. Each of them were :troll: in their own way. For this particular movie remix people were expecting a black actress to be added, not Tracey Morgan

Well I never heard any of the static when the likes of Martin, Jaime Foxx and Larry Johnson were doing it for laughs back in the day..

Unless you can post another prominent reference This all started with Dave Chapelle in the minds of most (even just look the 11th post in this very thread)

Neely fuller and dr France's cress welsing spoke sbout it in the 70s. And dr Welsings work was referenced by Martin in boomerang. This isn't new.

Martin tv show had him playing Shanay nay and mama Payne it wasn't shucking and jiving.Those characters werent an every episode occurrence like how Tyler Perry ran Madea into the ground. I think the whole dress thing started after Tyler Perry built his fortune off the Madea plays/movies. Martin/Tyler Perry are 2 different cases.

and look at the context of this shyt. black folks aren't good enough to be nominated by these idiots...but they can sure provide self-degrading "entertainment" for them.

Tracy morgan has put on a dress numerous times before I don't see why the uproar now. Plus he's spoofing a white actor who plays a tranny
