--------
Former NBA player John Salley dived into the controversy surrounding male actors wearing dresses. Salley discussed how Katt Williams had made a significant impact on the comedy stage, transforming it into a space for “battle rap.” He revealed how many other performers, including Harry Belafonte, had also worn dresses in comedic roles, reminding viewers of Belafonte's use of a dress as a disguise in Sidney Poitier's film, "Let's Do It Again." The discussion also led to the topic of representation in acting roles, with Salley arguing that authenticity can be brought in by hiring actors who identify with the roles they're playing, such as gay actors for gay characters. Despite this, he acknowledged the skill required in transforming convincingly into a completely different character, a hallmark of gifted actors.

I just love how eloquently John Salley speaks and how he so easily asks the questions that make people (in this case Vlad) question and explain their beliefs, leading to deeper understanding of the self and others.

This is his game and he’s a lover of the music and respectful to the culture. He’s openly talked about clips he’s cut just because what was said was too much. He’s lasted this long bc despite what haters say he’s legit and genuine. So yeah, that would’ve boosted him more but Shannon Sharpe got it and that’s okay too.. as a businessman and competitor, you respect it, but you gon feel that. Shit is like losing profit on an early closed trade. You happy you took money but money was left on the table

@@divineintervention212 the concept of blackface is a white man in black make up being a buffoon that supposed to be a black man. Robert pulled it off cause it was shot at the movie industry itself and the over the top actors that go off the rails in method acting.

Flip Wilson wore a dress playing Geraldine, Milton Berele was in drag, Dustin Hoffman won and Oscar playing a woman. Robin Williams, Wesley Snipes all wore dresses and nobody said they were gay, a plant, etc. When every other word you say is suspect and you have to say pause and ayooo y'all already know what time it is. What happened in 2024 that didn't happen in 1970? Answer: Lee Daniels made the movie Precious, when he played it at the Magic Johnson movie theater everybody was laughing, screaming, and cat calling. When he played it at the Cannes film festival in France you can hear a pin drop. Drops mic 🎤

The whole wearing a dress thing makes me laugh. Especially when people like to point to Dave Chappelle talking about it. He seems to forget that he wore a dress and woman's clothing in Robin Hood Men in Tights. I guess it's a different story when a legend like Mel Brooks wants you to wear women's clothes. So, I guess the problem isn't wearing the dresses, it's who is asking them to wear it.. 😂
