On that Race Minstrelsy Madea Meme
Here are some clips relevant to our talk today about race minstrelsy, Madea, etc. This has come up a few times so I thought some pieces on the range of conversation on the topic would be helpful.
Harmless fun?
Some articles/magazines pieces:
Tyler Perry: Representative of Black Womankind, or Minstrel in Panty Hose?
from Salon.com--The funny thing about black men in dresses: Why do black comedians like Tyler Perry, Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence don plus-size pantyhose and parade around as their feisty grandmas?
Interesting piece on Black Theater and Madea.
Next in line Experiencing the Madea effect
Madea Got a Dress on Point/Counterpoint
