They put black men in dresses because they were non-threatening to white people just like South Park pointed out HBO made white men gay or soft in sex scenes of Game of Thrones. Now here we are a decade later with a "masculinity problem" and large studio movies filled with incompetent weak men. Not a conspiracy Kat Williams pointed out the truth these studios put out that brass ring with conditions and whether or not you grab it that is on you. Look at the defense the people he called out are throwing up "I did what you were supposed to do." I did what they said to do and I go paid. Ever wonder why being whorish is acceptable with no pushback? Nobody in the media has an issue with this message because they are all whores. Nothing against a dress it is just clothes but why they do it is important.
I agree. It is social engineering 100%. Look at Sex N the City; it taught young women to dictch marriage and become a "boss babe" who engages in one night stands well into their 40s.
I actually agree to a point. They way you said it made it seem like it was the only thing that led to the masculinity problem, but I think it was a start. It let men almost bring their guard down in a way. They got comfortable seeing it everywhere and allowed it to become their reality.
lmao you think all men are confident during sex? lol this whole areguement is just a bunch of insecure men. some of the most powerful men throughout history were bisexual or gay. people like to flip it up cause its the popular opinion but we know damn well they were rolling when these actors played there rolls. white men throughout the history of film have dressed like women. lets not make this about race. these actors always have a choice to accept the roll or not. yall need to find something else to be overly opinionated about. like go catch a flight and go assist the palestinians. or find a solutrion to the drug epidemioc affecting your communitry.
The fact that so many people couldn't just leave Dave Chapelle alone was really telling. When asked why he'd walk away from 50 million he basically said "Cause...I just didn't wanna do the show anymore." But all they could see was "Who'd walk away from 50 million dollars? Nobody would ever turn that down." Guess what. Dave did. They're not used to seeing someone prioritize and value their integrity over financial gain. Not everyone has a price. It's "crazy" to them.
Thank you so many people are missing the point Like Katt is complaining about other peoples succes when he’s exposing that all you favs can be bought out
Money is time in condensed form. We're probably never going to be immortal, but with enough money, we can spend someone else's efforts and time to improve our own lives. Dave probably realized long ago that he doesn't need all that time.
@@ruffandrelax290Or you know, they don't considering wearing a woman's dress for comedic effect humiliating at all ? It's fine if they don't want to do it but to bash other comedians for being fine with it is just ridiculous.
They were only trying to give Dave 10% because the show actually made more and they could mess with the contract. I’m not explaining it all, Dave had already told us look it up. lol
It's because he made it about skin color and emasculating black men when he knew every white comic actor during the same time was wearing dresses as well. Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Robin Williams, Jim Carrey....all of them. It's not like it hurt Dave Chappelle's career to refuse to wear a dress in Blue Streak. He got his own show like 2 years later. There's no conspiracy. It's just like Aba said. Hollywood is lazy. They have the same producers making these comedy movies and they have no new ideas.
From personal experience the fastest away to dismiss someone is to call them mentally ill or that they're on drugs and Katt's been accused of both for years lol
Sometimes those people are actually ill tho,katt doesn't have a clean history and is still paranoid,he says alot of good things but that doesn't make him right about everything Kanye is a good example,he is a great artist and can say really meaningful shit but since his mother died he clearly spiraled out of control and is not healthy, just because he said something true it doesn't mean everything he says is true,use your head to analyse that
Personally, Kat opened to door for me to unapologetically stand ten toes down. This Hollywood humiliation and power play happens throughout society. These weirdos are out here in real life too.
Don't you guys think you're reading into it way too much? How come it's not an issue when white folks were wearing dresses in comedy sketches back then?
@@Numb_ It is and always has been, not just with whites but everyone in this world who has self respect. And it doesnt at men wearing dresses there are a bunch of weirdos who push their sexual desires on the public.
It was a power tactic. The producers and executives made sure to check every single comedian trying to come up. They forced all these comedians to wear the dress for money so they all know who's really in charge. If you can tell some guy to wear a dress, and they gladly do it for money, you own them. And they all know it.
Men in dresses? What about women in trousers/pants and shorts? Oh, right. It's already accepted in society for girls and women to do that. Stop with the hypocrisy and double standards. Both are wrong and a sin.
I don't think that's true, martin Lawrence got big way before he had to wear a dress and so did eddie murphy. Not to mention kevin hart as far as I know still doesn't wear a dress. Then there are all the white actors like robin williams, Arnold swazneggar.
Don't forget about the movie he did The Tooth Fairy... kinda odd that nobody that makes these videos ever point out the Rock even though he was a poster boy for Vince McRapist
And white ppl call him “ethnically” ambiguous lol 😂 I.e., could also be a black man in a dress. The strongest ethnically ambiguous “black man” emasculated to the point of wearing a dress for other peoples entertainment and profit….🤔
@@charlesgentry38 that he got movie roles when he put on a dress... The Rock is not a white man, but men of all colors have been asked to put on a dress. It's not about race it's about good vs evil...
Kudos to Brandon T Jackson for being mature and honest enough to say that Katt was warning him and he should of listened. Brandon T Jackson as far as I know has found God and is no where near hollyweird
Brandon T already knew God, he just didn’t know him the way he does now. His parents are Bishop Wayne T and Pastor Beverly Jackson from Detroit. They have a really large church and are pretty well off. They’d already warned him of his choice to go to Hollyweird, he just found out what they meant and returned home (to God).
Yeah lol, I think its only toxic when they shame the dude for making a conscious descision to do so. But if a dude doesent want to do so , and they say "it's toxic masculinity" then I see how that can be an issue. It becomes coercive as fuck
@@bb-3653hairy styles comments under vids with him in a dress are absolutely vile, the thing they belive about men who dont wanna wear a dress is almost border mental illness with how they demonize them.
@@libraalibabaThat's why the media gave them so much crap about them being in WHITE FACE. Saying they were being racist! Crazy how they switch it around when it does serve them to their purpose! 🤔
I love how people still think Africa is some barren, undeveloped country (and not a continent) when you got cities in America with no clean water or fresh food to harvest and sell. But hey, Africa staying africkining
This makes me so crazy how Africa is always talked about as if it's one big homogenous country rather then a continent with a diversity of people, beliefs, geography, etc
Kat owns every aspect of his shows. He owns the advertising, the comedy, booking of the venues, merchandising and every other part of the business. The man's literally Vanguard of his entertainment industry. Katt may not be my favorite comedian but I hold him in high regards and he's earned my respect.
He also read 3000 books a year from age 8 till 12, moved from ohio to miami alonenat 13, turned down the dave chapelle 50m offer 4 times and smokes more weed than snoop dogg. Bro is cappin 80% of the time.
"When it was Diddy they kept their mouth shut, but when its Katt now all of em got something to say." YES Aba, SAY THAT!!!! I was thinking the same thing. Smh. I stand with Katt on this one. 💜
Ya what you goofies mean to say is nobody said jack about HARVEY , p diddy is the right color for everyone to open they mouth about how he touch they shoulder 50 years ago in an elevator for 0.5 seconds. If they didnt go so hard on JUST blk men and did for EVERY giant name id actually believe this mess
@@thadonjuan2339 Diddy already facing a lot of SA accusations for decades. The Pussycat Dolls members even said he is basically core to trafficking ring way before Epstein cases come up to the surface. And guess what, P Diddy is on Epstein list
Every time a studio executive gets outed, we learn just how far an actor/ actress will go to get a role. Then the celebrities don't want to talk about what they had to go through. Even as A list celebrities, they can lose everything if they speak out.
I will never understand this and nobody needs to cry about this after agreeing to do it. If the thirst for fame and money is bigger than dignity, selfrespect and morals...then I dont feel for this person. And its no coincidence that people who lead the entertainment industry are so often perverted...this is a spiritual thing...a dark one.
It makes sense because people in regular jobs have to do shady stuff. Then you have Hollywood where the prettiest people with delusions and desires to fame by any means.
Think about the fact that monsters ball is how haller berry got her start. A literal imasculstion real sex act on camera, in a story cucking her husband after the white dude takes it first making the black man powerless. This was a real scene and many are, I think as rituals for humiliation, for the bag. This whole thing recontectualized these hollywood movies for me.... The ones with asaults....especially
No white a list celebrity cares.. and obviously some bigger stars then Katt don’t care… lebron not an actor he wore a dress you going say that made him an elite athlete??
Before this happened I would tell my girlfriend that if you’re in any type of Hollywood you have to do something very humiliating to continue to be famous and popular. It’s a very strange practice but almost every male actor has done a very strange humiliation fact wether it’s a movie or nasty acts in private.
Not only for humiliation but to show that he is ready for initiation and willing to do anything the big guys tell him is needed for success, so they know this guy from another race is willing to follow us blindly for weaknesses like attention, money and success. But they sell it to you like, it is nothing bro, everyone will love it and it will look so funny.
Men in dresses? What about women in trousers/pants and shorts? Oh, right. It's already accepted in society for girls and women to do that. Stop with the hypocrisy and double standards. Both are wrong and a sin.
Katt just cemented himself as a legend. There is no more debate, he is on the Rushmore of comedy Edit: Honestly, I said this just to see the reaction. I don’t think Katt Williams is on the Rushmore of Comedy. He is important though. I was just curious to see how people would react now that this interview has blown up because before this Katt Williams was, no pun intended, a joke. Everyone made fun of him but now people are treating him as a god so I was just wondering what people would say.
Man has been doing the same bit of the same pimp that been down and calling code 1032 since 2007 and he a comedy legend? No. You just really enjoy messy tea. Can guarantee you was in tears when you saw him get beat up by that middle schooler.
Hey Aba and Preach, just want to say I love the level of research that you and your team put into making a video like this. Really challenging to find all this footage and then to bring it together to make sense for your audience is truly amazing. Great work! ❤
They literally do the most minimal research. The large majority of the time they don’t have any idea what they’re talking about before they talk about it. I’m not hating on them but it’s annoying that they often get stuff very wrong that a tiny bit of research would have fixed.
As someone studied animation history i can recall this: - when disney made the three little pigs in the 30s, the money men came to him saying "more pigs". After Dumbo was a hit they came to him saying "more elephants." Dumbo itself has a satirical riff where the clowns say "if we drop an elephant off a building thats two stories high and its funny, if we drop an elephant off a building thats four stories high it'll be twice as funny." I agree with aba that this is likely the logic thats pushing this fetish, hollywood bean counters think that if it worked for martin lawrence and jamie foxx, it'll work for every other black man in a movie regardless of the context, or whether it is in any way appropriate.
highkey i give chris tucker a pass, he had a phenomenal performance in 5th element and it wasn’t exactly that he was in a dress masquerading as a woman, more like a gender fluid man.
This. I honestly don't think it's based on enforcing racist power dynamics (at least for most of them), I just think the minds of the people with money work like this. Look at all of the movies that come out now. They've learned all the wrong lessons on how to make high grossing movies which is why after the mcu was a success, so many other studios tried to get their own shared cinematic universes without putting in any of the ground work. It's the same in the video game industry with cutting games into the vanilla game and taking out a part of the game ahead of time to form the dlc, loot boxes, micro transactions, battle passes, games as a live service, always online games, no single player, etc. It's always been first and foremost about the money.
Bro fr why would the Wayans bros and Eddie Murphy do it when they were already successful if it was some illuminati gatekeeping stuff or racist demasculinizing stuff
Katt just confirmed everything we already suspected. The saying "It's all about who you know not what you know." is said throughout the industry for a reason. It's not something that we in the industry like. Especially when we see hard working individuals lose out just because they are not willing to sell their souls for a promotion. The industry is cutthroat and most of us are just trying to make it by without losing ourselves in the process.
People gonna bash you, but nobody is gonna tell you'd be lying. And they who listen to them are not dumb. That's why Catt always win on the long run. He did read Machiavelli's The Prince and Sun Tzu's Art of War very cautiously. He's the son of two Black Panther Party militants, after all.
He is on their side. He's controlled opposition like Tate, Jones, Trump, Rogan etc to give to the illusion they're on your side by feeding certain "truths". They will never actually go into real occultic details on how demonic they are though. Kat Williams is literally wearing a chain shaped like the sun and the insignia for Lucifer yet he's telling the truth?
Yeah that’s what I told my brother when he mentioned the Katt interview. I told him we been saying what Katt has said for years and people called us conspiracy theorists for years but when Katt says it now it’s worth talking about smh 🤦🏾♂️ people are slow and refuse to wake up from this false reality we live in. I guess I should be happy people are even talking about the blatant corruption in Hollywood and in the government now. Idk 🤷🏾♂️ people are just too distracted by lies then to see the truth for what it is.
@@dmoneytreesthat's not why Tik Tok was gonna be banned. It was gonna be banned because of all the spying and illegal data collection they were doing...
It's kinda the male version of actresses being pressured to do nude/sex scenes. There's probably a long list of actors and actresses who've been passed over on a lot of roles by producers for refusing to play ball early on in their careers.
Absolutely! It's for sure not limited to Black people. We have had super masculine role models appearing in dresses for exactly that reason. Schwartzenegger, Stalone, Williams, Jim Carry, Jason Stratham ... you name them.
They find a way to have some twist that sells well right but also will make you sell yourself out by complying with any idea that will humiliate you and make you bow down to higher ups.
Thanks to this interview, i decided to check out Katt's work, and god dayum, i don't regret it at all. He went in on everybody, and it's a conversation that it should've happened WAY before.
Its nothing new for actors to have to wear a dress. What is different is practically blackmailing actors into roles they don't want or have to take. Chapelle is getting away with criticizing Hollywood because he's old enough, established and big enough to where he doesnt have to care.
Kind of reminds me of how Pinocchio was led astray from being a real boy and was trafficked into an acting role he did not actually want and was no longer free. You thought some rich dudes were just going to pay you millions to play pretend in front of a camera with "no strings" attached? Nothing is every as simple as that, no dollar is free.
For Mrs. Doubtfire I have to give that movie a pass. The ONLY reason I give it a pass is for the reasoning it was done. Guy wants to see his kids so bad and spend time with them so bad that he does the most insane thing ever. The sons expression after he finds out it's actually his dad dressed up says EVERYTHING about it.
Noble reason, whish they could have portrayed that fatherly love for children in some other ways, but Robin always had a waaay too big of a heart. And now he dead
I don't know if it's a humiliation tactic - white, black, Latino, Asian men dressing up as women in comedies always made me, as a woman, not only laugh to see myself be exaggerated/made fun of, but also made me realize "Crap, they look better than I do in a dress." It's comedy, I always considered it to simply be for laughs. I will say, however, I have noticed that male actors who have been passed over for awards time and again immediately win awards once they portray a gay man/trans woman. So maybe there is something to it, and if that's true, it's wrong. You shouldn't have to be forced into a dress/sex scene (homo or hetero) to win an award.
Yeah, it's a common trope...to me a silly 1 (I'm a guy so maybe that's why I find it less funny) that all ethnicities have engaged in. Honestly, it's a comical conspiracy theory born of a perhaps rightful mistrust as black people. There's less of us, and even less stars so if white guys do it at the same clip as black guys I can see it seeming egregious. I truly feel it's as simple as Aba said ..execs saying it worked for these black stars, so it'll work for the next.
Yeah I agree, men wearing a dress can sometimes be comedic, it’s an easy visual gag, I don’t think it’s some deep weird humiliation ritual I just think execs/writers were being lazy using the same jokes over & over in the late 90/early 2000s. I would even say I prefer they keep it as a joke instead of trying to force it on us as a serious thing & call you transphobic for laughing at how ridiculous it looks
Love you Ana n Preach for always being real. Thank you for all the research you do to put out content that some of us don’t have the time to and even couldn’t be bothered to. I don’t personally follow mainstream and it always boggles me why some music and movies are so popular and trending when I don’t hear or see anything that’s entertaining in them. I just ignore them and people who are into them. And that’s when your videos shed a lot of light. Thank you guys, don’t change🤝🙏🏽♥️
Right, a dress is a dress because it accentuates the silhouette of a woman. I can’t think of any robes that aren’t just straight down bodily coverings. That’s like saying a tunic is a dress
I pray for Katt's safety him exposing the truth like this really places him as a target yes he will say he has been a target and fears nothing but prayers for his protection
@@21nitsua I don’t think because of that, it probably had to do with him coming from the world of pro wrestling and still using The Rock name at the time.
Lets no forget too wong foo thanks johnny neuman. Wesley snipes dress, patrick swayze dress and john legizamo. Ving rayhmes too. Its a long list of actors that had dresses on
All these comedians and celebrities got smoke for Katt but no smoke for the executive predators or predator moguls . They were all super quiet when all those allegations were coming out but now they can’t stop taking about Katt , I believe everything he said and it’s got them so bothered .
I'm a middle-aged white woman, and I really appreciate your videos for giving me perspectives, education, and information to better understand cultural differences. Y'all's takes always seem based in common sense and logic. Thank you!
I was just saying this to my brother. They want money so they need hits. Men in dresses is a hit every time. Tootsie was the second most profitable film in 82.
White actors who have worn dresses: Ted Levine - Silence of the Lambs Robin Williams - Ms Doubtfire John Lithgow - The World According to Garp Jared Leto - Dallas Buyers Club Ed Wood - Glen or Glenda Jaye Davidson - The Crying Game John Lone - M. Butterfly Tim Curry - Rocky Horror Picture Show Tony Curtis - Some Like it Hot Jack Lemmon - Some Like it Hot Anthony Perkins - Psycho Dustin Hoffman - Tootsie Willem Dafoe - Boondock Saints Tom Hanks - Bosom Buddies Patrick Swayze - To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar Stephen Dorff - I Shot Andy Warhol Kurt Russell - Tango and Cash Neil Patrick Harris - Hedwig and the Angry Inch Nathan Lane - The Birdcage Michael Rosenbaum - Sorority Boys Just to name a few that I found with a cursory Google search. Can we please stop this narrative that this is a racial thing. It isn't. It was extremely common for people of all ethnicities. This list is by no means comprehensive. Harland Williams, Michael J Fox, Michael C Hall, Liev Schreiber, Jude Law, Johnny Depp, John Travolta, John Cameron Mitchell, Guy Pierce, David Duchovny, Arnold Schwarzenegger! That's right. Schwarzenegger, the icon of masculinity, wore a dress in Junior. Please stop the cap.
Y'all ain't doing shit 🤣 y'all act like the whole industry is gonna burn because of his interview idiots still gonna go to the movies and eat all the shit up

I love watching your takes on things. It gives so much more perspective instead of just emotion-fueled words. To Wong Foo was a different situation though. It was about drag queens. You had Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo as the main characters. I hold that movie differently than the others. And it was a little different the things they touched on at the time in that movie. Hugo was also a drag queen in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Ooh thanks for exposing and touching on these things, because things go deeper than we think or meets the eye and the underlying things and patterns. Especially in Hollywood where it serves mostly for profit, power etc.
I have the same sentiment about the folks who shame R Kelly for his tape... But went and looked for it. Even though its underage activity. Folks looking for it just as gross.
Remember THIS: Before Dave Chapelle & Katt Williams, Professor Griff was THE only other person speak out against the "Men In The Dress" ritual that has existed within the entertainment industry since William Shakespeare. Facts!
@@lampad4549 did he say he didn't wear a dress and or talk down on people that have worn dresses? or did he talk about the concept of Hollywood getting men to wear dresses? Because if he didn't do the first two that's like saying a former addict is a hypocrite for telling someone to not do drugs because they did in the past. And once again how does it negate his words about the dress situation since it would mean he knows what he is talking about. If you're going to completely ignore him without acknowledging the information presented because he did it then that's on you and that's part of the problem.
If they can talk you into putting on a dress in front of cameras, then they can convince you to do anything. "You already wore a dress bro, look how well it worked".

Bro these 2 guys right here are some of the realest people I’ve ever come across, and I believe aba and preach will never switch up, keep up the good work man
I was in the local musical "Something Rotten" where I played Robin. Robin was the cast who generally played the female rules because it took place in Shakespearian time and it was illegal for women to act. So, I played a dude who played females in plays. The humor of me playing the rule is that I'm a rather hairy guy with a beard. To Wong Foo. Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar
As a South African, I can confirm! We have running water, electricity, infrastructure, and everything. It's not just wild life and Safari Survival here. 😆😆
I say this as someone who is a big fan of Katt Williams. If people knew what Diddy was doing and they didn’t report it to the proper authorities, they’re part of the problem. And that includes Katt. He isn’t brave for talking shit on a podcast AFTER the allegations were made public. Brave would’ve been outing Diddy for his actions and stopping him from victimizing anyone else.
Its not enough to know someone does these things. There were rumours of Diddy for years. The victims actually have to come forward and with proof. Even the shootout that happened with JLo present, there were witnesses that saw Diddy shoot a gun and still nothing happened to him.
@@suras8984 That's fine. But I see Katt getting ass pats and not the victims who came forward. The victims have everything to lose, Katt doesn't, but people are acting like he's a hero. I like Katt but at the end of the day, he's not really saying anything useful. He might as well make videos with that Jaguar Wright lady.
He ain't no peoples champ. He saw a few comedians talking about him. He waited until he was about ready to start a tour and talked shit to go viral and help the pre sales. It's all calculated. They don't got problems with men in dressed but will play pimps and drug dealers like that's even more positive
It’s so funny seeing this now being talked about as I’m 20. I remember when I was about 12 or so when I asked my dad to go see Madea and he got mad at me and explained to me the historical context as to what they use to do to African Americans to emasculate them. Don’t know how I feel about it today, I don’t think it’s used as a form of emasculation today but it’s just interesting seeing this now and I definitely see where he’s coming from now that I’m older.
It's a form of killing masculinity in general, not just for black men. There has been a war on men and masculinity since the 70s. The 70s released a great evil all under the gise of "progressivism"
"To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar." I like that movie actually. I thought it was showing the prejudice and hate that drag queens and queer men were going through in the 90s. I related to it because it wasn't that different to being black. I never doubted any of the men's sexuality in that movie. In fact, they became hotter for having the balls to that. I know I'm an extreme minority with that thinking.
“Became hotter”. . . Weird it’s like there is a huge reason right there for more People to do it. You CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP”. There is not context that makes it different. It’s either all bad or it’s all acting. I’ll take the latter. Kat just wanted to be sensational
I have the feeling it's less about the dress itself (though it does play a role, obviously)- and more about the idea of Hollywood exerting pressure on you do things that make you uncomfortable/are un-funny, and whether or not you're going to sell out for it. The fact that these producers are tone-deaf enough to ask you do something that you might feel emasculated doing, in exchange for their money, and continued support or favors from them, is just a particular example of selling out that is easy to identify. I do think "cross-dressing" has a very old tradition, in practically all forms of art and entertainment, so its not the case that any/all instances of it happening are somehow all examples of what Dave/Katt are trying to stress... but rather, Hollywood peddling nonsense to you, when it's not even part of your character or "brand (as Kevin put it), and seeing if you'll be cooperative. Hollywood probably prefers these kinds of cooperative actors, as you'll be easier to use, and thus probably get booked way more than if you didn't.
Sounds like a standard business what do you expect? Producers are going to start projects that make money and they will choose people that are willing to do them. How is it their fault that an actor may be uncomfortable with it? People don't hire actor solely based on brand they hire based on tropes of stories that sell, one of them being men wear dresses.
I once saw premium houses being advertised in Nairobi for 4 million dollars and the white people's comments were as you can imagine. they thought the houses were meant for them because no African could possibly afford 4 mil. "why would I move from Europe to spend 4 mil in Africa" bruh. If you won't, stay away, plenty of Kenyans can afford that and will buy
@@3MrNiceGuy15 To dress up like a woman is a weird behaviour, but not an immoral one (afaik). I'm confused, my statement was essentially calling into question Kevin's statement stating he'd never put a dress on. And then he was paid enough. Plenty of people in this world do almost anything for colourful pieces of paper and the digital numbers, when they ought to have more integrity and self-respect.
Athletes to, look how many nfl and nba players wear female clothes, dresses, skirts. Or change their political beliefs. They were conservative in college then become hard-core liberals once they get their big nfl contract. Then the nfl starts scripting them successful stats.
Katt Williams confirmed a lot of things that many of us had been hearing and passing off as 'rumors' for YEARS! God, I'm loving 2024!! I'm here for it!!
Completely agree with Aba at 7:30. Their are instances, especially in theatre, where crossdressing works really well. Like Mrs. Doubtfire. Or like Aba’s long robe. I think back in the early 2000’s and 90’s it was the comedy back then and like Aba said Hollywood is lazy and likes to redo things that already work. Doesn’t mean Katt is wrong but Aba and Preach are right.
It’s all throughout theatre. There isn’t as much taboo because there’s a history of Shakespeare and Greek and Roman culture, it’s only now that we have a problem with It because people don’t understand the difference and hang ups of race dynamics AND they don’t know the history of entertainment.
Did he wear a dress in that role or was it just those hyper androgynous jumpsuits? I guess someone could say it's "emasculation" or whatever but he was also beating it up left and right -- _lift off._
coming from a theatre background, cross dressing and gender swaps were always apart of comedy. For some reason the audience loves to laugh at a hyper masculine man being hyper feminine. Its been around for centuries. The whole hollywood thing is weird but logical denomination is either the humiliation of hyper masculinity or straight up comedy.
I have a client who is an actor and we had a conversation about how every successful actor has worn a dress on screen. It's crazy how EVERY "successful" male has worn a dress.
It definitely comes from an insidious and malicious place. Laziness may play a part, but as we see, the dress afforded many of these men an almost immediate boost in their careers. Its done to emasculate black men to the audience and to establish dominance and compliance within the industry. IMO
They put black men in dresses because they were non-threatening to white people just like South Park pointed out HBO made white men gay or soft in sex scenes of Game of Thrones. Now here we are a decade later with a "masculinity problem" and large studio movies filled with incompetent weak men. Not a conspiracy Kat Williams pointed out the truth these studios put out that brass ring with conditions and whether or not you grab it that is on you. Look at the defense the people he called out are throwing up "I did what you were supposed to do." I did what they said to do and I go paid. Ever wonder why being whorish is acceptable with no pushback? Nobody in the media has an issue with this message because they are all whores. Nothing against a dress it is just clothes but why they do it is important.
I disagree but pin of discussion!
Katt supports Joe Biden, which means this is all a distraction from the Hunter Biden LAPTOP. Do you know the emails and photos include CHILDREN?
I agree. It is social engineering 100%. Look at Sex N the City; it taught young women to dictch marriage and become a "boss babe" who engages in one night stands well into their 40s.
I actually agree to a point. They way you said it made it seem like it was the only thing that led to the masculinity problem, but I think it was a start. It let men almost bring their guard down in a way. They got comfortable seeing it everywhere and allowed it to become their reality.
lmao you think all men are confident during sex? lol this whole areguement is just a bunch of insecure men. some of the most powerful men throughout history were bisexual or gay. people like to flip it up cause its the popular opinion but we know damn well they were rolling when these actors played there rolls. white men throughout the history of film have dressed like women. lets not make this about race. these actors always have a choice to accept the roll or not. yall need to find something else to be overly opinionated about. like go catch a flight and go assist the palestinians. or find a solutrion to the drug epidemioc affecting your communitry.
The fact that so many people couldn't just leave Dave Chapelle alone was really telling. When asked why he'd walk away from 50 million he basically said "Cause...I just didn't wanna do the show anymore." But all they could see was "Who'd walk away from 50 million dollars? Nobody would ever turn that down." Guess what. Dave did. They're not used to seeing someone prioritize and value their integrity over financial gain. Not everyone has a price. It's "crazy" to them.
Thank you so many people are missing the point
Like Katt is complaining about other peoples succes when he’s exposing that all you favs can be bought out
Money is time in condensed form.
We're probably never going to be immortal, but with enough money, we can spend someone else's efforts and time to improve our own lives.
Dave probably realized long ago that he doesn't need all that time.
@@ruffandrelax290Or you know, they don't considering wearing a woman's dress for comedic effect humiliating at all ?
It's fine if they don't want to do it but to bash other comedians for being fine with it is just ridiculous.
@@Great-Dao-of-Elegancethat’s the gayest thing I read all week…
They were only trying to give Dave 10% because the show actually made more and they could mess with the contract. I’m not explaining it all, Dave had already told us look it up. lol
Katt’s interview is the gift that just keeps on giving. 😂
Seriously got so happy seeing this I want too hear their opinions on it😂😂😂😂GOAT COMMENT
They have been trying to separate the black male and female and always feminize the black male buck. He is the one who will fight for his culture..
That's correct sir..truth hurts
Hey are you still in Berkeley?
Yeah my boy is getting everybody’s engagement numbers up.
The fact that the industry was so offended by Dave Chappelle's display of self-worth screams ulterior motives
Do gf Dr TV yh
It's because he made it about skin color and emasculating black men when he knew every white comic actor during the same time was wearing dresses as well. Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Robin Williams, Jim Carrey....all of them. It's not like it hurt Dave Chappelle's career to refuse to wear a dress in Blue Streak. He got his own show like 2 years later. There's no conspiracy. It's just like Aba said. Hollywood is lazy. They have the same producers making these comedy movies and they have no new ideas.
@@psrabe7444 black men are just much less secure in their masculinity, so they take it harder even seeing another black man doing it.
it's been like that for a long time
You know chappelle wore a dress..... more than once
They all called him jealous and crazy but ain't nobody called him a liar 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️💀

Wanna know why it’s on saturdays? ✡️🤣
Don’t forget him getting thrusted by Shaq on national television
From personal experience the fastest away to dismiss someone is to call them mentally ill or that they're on drugs and Katt's been accused of both for years lol
Isnt this the same way how they (hollywood) did Dave Chapelle? Just say he is on drugs and the more people say it, the more people believe it
@@MrBait362 yep lol
Sometimes those people are actually ill tho,katt doesn't have a clean history and is still paranoid,he says alot of good things but that doesn't make him right about everything
Kanye is a good example,he is a great artist and can say really meaningful shit but since his mother died he clearly spiraled out of control and is not healthy, just because he said something true it doesn't mean everything he says is true,use your head to analyse that

@@cmk2278 that doesn't even make sense
It was a power tactic. The producers and executives made sure to check every single comedian trying to come up. They forced all these comedians to wear the dress for money so they all know who's really in charge. If you can tell some guy to wear a dress, and they gladly do it for money, you own them. And they all know it.
This makes so much sense
Yes. It was also to show them which actor is really down, they wanted to know who is controllable & easily manipulated

Oh, right. It's already accepted in society for girls and women to do that.

Both are wrong and a sin.
I don't think that's true, martin Lawrence got big way before he had to wear a dress and so did eddie murphy. Not to mention kevin hart as far as I know still doesn't wear a dress. Then there are all the white actors like robin williams, Arnold swazneggar.

It shows that their power structure is corroding. Whatever Covenant they were hiding behind us slowly coming undone.
Kudos to Brandon T Jackson for being mature and honest enough to say that Katt was warning him and he should of listened. Brandon T Jackson as far as I know has found God and is no where near hollyweird
Brandon T already knew God, he just didn’t know him the way he does now. His parents are Bishop Wayne T and Pastor Beverly Jackson from Detroit. They have a really large church and are pretty well off. They’d already warned him of his choice to go to Hollyweird, he just found out what they meant and returned home (to God).

Every time a studio executive gets outed, we learn just how far an actor/ actress will go to get a role.
Then the celebrities don't want to talk about what they had to go through.
Even as A list celebrities, they can lose everything if they speak out.
I will never understand this and nobody needs to cry about this after agreeing to do it. If the thirst for fame and money is bigger than dignity, selfrespect and morals...then I dont feel for this person. And its no coincidence that people who lead the entertainment industry are so often perverted...this is a spiritual thing...a dark one.
It makes sense because people in regular jobs have to do shady stuff. Then you have Hollywood where the prettiest people with delusions and desires to fame by any means.
Speak out about what?
Think about the fact that monsters ball is how haller berry got her start. A literal imasculstion real sex act on camera, in a story cucking her husband after the white dude takes it first making the black man powerless.

No white a list celebrity cares.. and obviously some bigger stars then Katt don’t care… lebron not an actor he wore a dress you going say that made him an elite athlete??
Before this happened I would tell my girlfriend that if you’re in any type of Hollywood you have to do something very humiliating to continue to be famous and popular.

*"Truth don't need motivation!"-Katt Williams.*
As someone studied animation history i can recall this: - when disney made the three little pigs in the 30s, the money men came to him saying "more pigs". After Dumbo was a hit they came to him saying "more elephants." Dumbo itself has a satirical riff where the clowns say "if we drop an elephant off a building thats two stories high and its funny, if we drop an elephant off a building thats four stories high it'll be twice as funny." I agree with aba that this is likely the logic thats pushing this fetish, hollywood bean counters think that if it worked for martin lawrence and jamie foxx, it'll work for every other black man in a movie regardless of the context, or whether it is in any way appropriate.
highkey i give chris tucker a pass, he had a phenomenal performance in 5th element and it wasn’t exactly that he was in a dress masquerading as a woman, more like a gender fluid man.
This. I honestly don't think it's based on enforcing racist power dynamics (at least for most of them), I just think the minds of the people with money work like this. Look at all of the movies that come out now. They've learned all the wrong lessons on how to make high grossing movies which is why after the mcu was a success, so many other studios tried to get their own shared cinematic universes without putting in any of the ground work.
It's the same in the video game industry with cutting games into the vanilla game and taking out a part of the game ahead of time to form the dlc, loot boxes, micro transactions, battle passes, games as a live service, always online games, no single player, etc. It's always been first and foremost about the money.
Bro fr why would the Wayans bros and Eddie Murphy do it when they were already successful if it was some illuminati gatekeeping stuff or racist demasculinizing stuff
Watch Dave Chappelle's scene when they sneak into the castle, in the movie Robin Hood Men in Tights
Has nothing to do with black or white. If you watched any movies you would know this
Katt just confirmed everything we already suspected. The saying "It's all about who you know not what you know." is said throughout the industry for a reason. It's not something that we in the industry like. Especially when we see hard working individuals lose out just because they are not willing to sell their souls for a promotion. The industry is cutthroat and most of us are just trying to make it by without losing ourselves in the process.
That's every industry. Nepotism is one such example.
People gonna bash you, but nobody is gonna tell you'd be lying.
And they who listen to them are not dumb. That's why Catt always win on the long run. He did read Machiavelli's The Prince and Sun Tzu's Art of War very cautiously. He's the son of two Black Panther Party militants, after all.
That's life lil bro

He is on their side. He's controlled opposition like Tate, Jones, Trump, Rogan etc to give to the illusion they're on your side by feeding certain "truths".

It's kinda the male version of actresses being pressured to do nude/sex scenes. There's probably a long list of actors and actresses who've been passed over on a lot of roles by producers for refusing to play ball early on in their careers.
Absolutely! It's for sure not limited to Black people. We have had super masculine role models appearing in dresses for exactly that reason. Schwartzenegger, Stalone, Williams, Jim Carry, Jason Stratham ... you name them.

@@nina2222So it's just like any other job...
Thanks to this interview, i decided to check out Katt's work, and god dayum, i don't regret it at all.
He went in on everybody, and it's a conversation that it should've happened WAY before.
Its nothing new for actors to have to wear a dress. What is different is practically blackmailing actors into roles they don't want or have to take. Chapelle is getting away with criticizing Hollywood because he's old enough, established and big enough to where he doesnt have to care.
Kind of reminds me of how Pinocchio was led astray from being a real boy and was trafficked into an acting role he did not actually want and was no longer free. You thought some rich dudes were just going to pay you millions to play pretend in front of a camera with "no strings" attached? Nothing is every as simple as that, no dollar is free.
It cost him to get there. That was a lot of internal work and separation from Hollywood to achieve what he has, despite of refusing them.
For Mrs. Doubtfire I have to give that movie a pass.
The ONLY reason I give it a pass is for the reasoning it was done. Guy wants to see his kids so bad and spend time with them so bad that he does the most insane thing ever.
The sons expression after he finds out it's actually his dad dressed up says EVERYTHING about it.
Noble reason, whish they could have portrayed that fatherly love for children in some other ways, but Robin always had a waaay too big of a heart.
And now he dead
rip robin williams man fr seemed like a good dude
Most white actors had wore a dress hell goarge Clooney and Arnold Schwarzenegger whore a dress hell he was pregnant
@@Chris1200923 wayyy to good, in a world that went in the opposite direction... Guy like him doesn't belong in a world like this
Men wore dresses for most of human history. They were just called clothes then.
As a woman I enjoyed what Kat Williams said about Kim K. It was the truth!
I don't know if it's a humiliation tactic - white, black, Latino, Asian men dressing up as women in comedies always made me, as a woman, not only laugh to see myself be exaggerated/made fun of, but also made me realize "Crap, they look better than I do in a dress." It's comedy, I always considered it to simply be for laughs.
I will say, however, I have noticed that male actors who have been passed over for awards time and again immediately win awards once they portray a gay man/trans woman. So maybe there is something to it, and if that's true, it's wrong. You shouldn't have to be forced into a dress/sex scene (homo or hetero) to win an award.
You don't understand the history as it pertains to Black Men and our image.
My thoughts exactly
I agree with the first half of your comment.
Yeah, it's a common trope...to me a silly 1 (I'm a guy so maybe that's why I find it less funny) that all ethnicities have engaged in. Honestly, it's a comical conspiracy theory born of a perhaps rightful mistrust as black people. There's less of us, and even less stars so if white guys do it at the same clip as black guys I can see it seeming egregious. I truly feel it's as simple as Aba said ..execs saying it worked for these black stars, so it'll work for the next.
Yeah I agree, men wearing a dress can sometimes be comedic, it’s an easy visual gag, I don’t think it’s some deep weird humiliation ritual I just think execs/writers were being lazy using the same jokes over & over in the late 90/early 2000s. I would even say I prefer they keep it as a joke instead of trying to force it on us as a serious thing & call you transphobic for laughing at how ridiculous it looks
Love you Ana n Preach for always being real. Thank you for all the research you do to put out content that some of us don’t have the time to and even couldn’t be bothered to.

Cultural robes are definitely different than dresses. Just because it's long doesn't make it a dress.

this is one of the best. your chemistry is so crazy good!
It worked once in " some like it hot " and they still find it hilarious after many decades
I was just saying this to my brother. They want money so they need hits. Men in dresses is a hit every time. Tootsie was the second most profitable film in 82.

Just to name a few that I found with a cursory Google search. Can we please stop this narrative that this is a racial thing. It isn't. It was extremely common for people of all ethnicities.
This list is by no means comprehensive. Harland Williams, Michael J Fox, Michael C Hall, Liev Schreiber, Jude Law, Johnny Depp, John Travolta, John Cameron Mitchell, Guy Pierce, David Duchovny, Arnold Schwarzenegger! That's right. Schwarzenegger, the icon of masculinity, wore a dress in Junior. Please stop the cap.
@@fnordwolfe1269 something else I was just talking about. It’s definitely not racial.
Brandon's reaction was heartfelt. Real one.
Let’s all keep pushing! Hollywood is at its weakest! It needs to fall!
What’s gonna happen you keep pushing? I’ll play along
Y'all ain't doing shit 🤣 y'all act like the whole industry is gonna burn because of his interview idiots still gonna go to the movies and eat all the shit up
Fall?😂 yeah sure ok…
Lol where we pushing too? Human nature?
Lots of feds or npcs in these replies, Hollywood is poison for the mind of a child
Robin Williams isn't the only one who wore a dress Tom Hanks has as well he had a show called bosom buddies where he and this other dude who wore a dress on the show
When media tried to portray Katt Williams as crazy and off the rails about 10 years ago I knew he had dirt on the industry.
I mean he was getting into fights with literal children so it’s fair to say he wasn’t in the best mental state back then
Yes, clown! I mean his fist fights with teenagers, CAUGHT ON VIDEO was all a deep fake created from Hollywood to GET HIM! dork!
No Kat Williams is crazy too, let's not make a mistake about that. ---He's like Roseanne without the dress.
@@hansolo9585exactly bro.. And now we're gonna act like he's some prophet..? Like wtf lol Dude sucker punch a 12 year old and then proceeded to get beat up by a kid 😂 And has been spewing conspiracies for years. Maybe he is telling some truths, but maybe he's just delusional lol since when do we get our truth from the mentally ill comedian who fights children?
@@hansolo9585it was before that and the kid was 17 yes it was bad but dont let that distract you from what he said and what they tried doing to him including taking his kids and you can watch it on a old tmz video and he said the same things he use to say back then now
I love watching your takes on things. It gives so much more perspective instead of just emotion-fueled words.
To Wong Foo was a different situation though. It was about drag queens. You had Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo as the main characters. I hold that movie differently than the others. And it was a little different the things they touched on at the time in that movie. Hugo was also a drag queen in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Katt really drop a nextflix special with this interview 😂😂😂
Ooh thanks for exposing and touching on these things, because things go deeper than we think or meets the eye and the underlying things and patterns. Especially in Hollywood where it serves mostly for profit, power etc.
God forbid an actor getting paid millions puts on a *_gasps_* dress!
The fact that katts been talking about this for years and people slowly coming to terms with it
I have the same sentiment about the folks who shame R Kelly for his tape... But went and looked for it. Even though its underage activity. Folks looking for it just as gross.
I was a teenager back when that tape was going around. I remember people old enough to have grand kids were looking for it or selling it 🤢

Remember THIS: Before Dave Chapelle & Katt Williams, Professor Griff was THE only other person speak out against the "Men In The Dress" ritual that has existed within the entertainment industry since William Shakespeare.
Facts!
Dave wore a dress in a movie though...
@@adrianzjackson7342how does that negate him speaking out on the dress wearing?
@@The_Glazercause he is a hypocrite
What ritual? Most roles in entertainment aren't men wearing dresses forgot what the big deal is.
@@lampad4549 did he say he didn't wear a dress and or talk down on people that have worn dresses? or did he talk about the concept of Hollywood getting men to wear dresses? Because if he didn't do the first two that's like saying a former addict is a hypocrite for telling someone to not do drugs because they did in the past. And once again how does it negate his words about the dress situation since it would mean he knows what he is talking about. If you're going to completely ignore him without acknowledging the information presented because he did it then that's on you and that's part of the problem.
If they can talk you into putting on a dress in front of cameras, then they can convince you to do anything. "You already wore a dress bro, look how well it worked".
"Now suck me". J3ws...
I feel like we're gonna find out how many lives a Katt really has in 2024.
Definitely.
Lol that a clever bar
😂 aw sheet
Give it a little while and he'll go back to obscurity just like before these interviews
@@562wiseguyjust because you don't see someone on the big screen doesn't mean they are not touring. Being in front of the big screen is not all there is.
Katt’s interview is Hollywood cleansing we needed that we didn’t know that we needed. 😢😂
Who didnt know? Is any of what he says a surprise to people. Hollyweird being demonic is an open secret and hard not to see.
What was cleansed tho? 🤦🏻♂️

Just watch Kat will catch some "allegations" from 20 years ago and the attempt to defame and cancel will begin.
Yep....they're working fast to find something
Not only did we get the Katt Williams interview/conversation, but we get all of our favorite content creators piggybacking off the issues that Katt discussed. 2024 is starting off great for content I tell ya
This interview really helped me get back on my true self 2024 😅
Bro these 2 guys right here are some of the realest people I’ve ever come across, and I believe aba and preach will never switch up, keep up the good work man
I was in the local musical "Something Rotten" where I played Robin. Robin was the cast who generally played the female rules because it took place in Shakespearian time and it was illegal for women to act. So, I played a dude who played females in plays. The humor of me playing the rule is that I'm a rather hairy guy with a beard.
To Wong Foo. Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar
The backstory cope attempt is meaningless, and nothing about a man dressing as a women is funny.
As a South African, I can confirm! We have running water, electricity, infrastructure, and everything. It's not just wild life and Safari Survival here. 😆😆
I say this as someone who is a big fan of Katt Williams. If people knew what Diddy was doing and they didn’t report it to the proper authorities, they’re part of the problem. And that includes Katt. He isn’t brave for talking shit on a podcast AFTER the allegations were made public. Brave would’ve been outing Diddy for his actions and stopping him from victimizing anyone else.
Its not enough to know someone does these things. There were rumours of Diddy for years. The victims actually have to come forward and with proof. Even the shootout that happened with JLo present, there were witnesses that saw Diddy shoot a gun and still nothing happened to him.
@@suras8984 That's fine. But I see Katt getting ass pats and not the victims who came forward. The victims have everything to lose, Katt doesn't, but people are acting like he's a hero. I like Katt but at the end of the day, he's not really saying anything useful. He might as well make videos with that Jaguar Wright lady.
@@donnamurphy8551exactly
If katt did it he Will not be here today , he would have been with Michael, Avicci, etc
Notice everyone that has responded so far hasn't called Katt a liar? They are just trashing, but none of them said it was a lie.

Agree100%
These guys are genuinely intelligent. Love the content, keep up the great work
Being in the film making and acting business for the last 25 years, I agree 100%. Love this content and this channel!!
Katt is the definition of People's Champion. You may not always agree with him, but you can't say he's not for the people.
Mayne try to keep him away by Middle schoolers
He ain't no peoples champ. He saw a few comedians talking about him. He waited until he was about ready to start a tour and talked shit to go viral and help the pre sales. It's all calculated. They don't got problems with men in dressed but will play pimps and drug dealers like that's even more positive
@@jesussinaloa9300those are good points
It’s so funny seeing this now being talked about as I’m 20. I remember when I was about 12 or so when I asked my dad to go see Madea and he got mad at me and explained to me the historical context as to what they use to do to African Americans to emasculate them.
Don’t know how I feel about it today, I don’t think it’s used as a form of emasculation today but it’s just interesting seeing this now and I definitely see where he’s coming from now that I’m older.
It's a form of killing masculinity in general, not just for black men. There has been a war on men and masculinity since the 70s. The 70s released a great evil all under the gise of "progressivism"
I definitely think it’s used as a way to emasculate them but in the case of Madea, I really credit that role to Tyler Perry’s crazy, hilarious mind
@@willieearles3151 I definitely agree
The movie with Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze and John Leguizamo is To Wong Foo @17:17
"To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar." I like that movie actually. I thought it was showing the prejudice and hate that drag queens and queer men were going through in the 90s. I related to it because it wasn't that different to being black. I never doubted any of the men's sexuality in that movie. In fact, they became hotter for having the balls to that. I know I'm an extreme minority with that thinking.
“Became hotter”. . . Weird it’s like there is a huge reason right there for more People to do it. You CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP”. There is not context that makes it different. It’s either all bad or it’s all acting. I’ll take the latter. Kat just wanted to be sensational
*Katt really opened Pandora’s box on the internet, snapped his fingers like Thanos and now he’s somewhere chilling watching the sun rise…I LUV IT* 😂
I agree Hollywood represents a message. I think it’s “how far you willing to go to get where you want to get”
I have the feeling it's less about the dress itself (though it does play a role, obviously)- and more about the idea of Hollywood exerting pressure on you do things that make you uncomfortable/are un-funny, and whether or not you're going to sell out for it.
The fact that these producers are tone-deaf enough to ask you do something that you might feel emasculated doing, in exchange for their money, and continued support or favors from them, is just a particular example of selling out that is easy to identify.
I do think "cross-dressing" has a very old tradition, in practically all forms of art and entertainment, so its not the case that any/all instances of it happening are somehow all examples of what Dave/Katt are trying to stress... but rather, Hollywood peddling nonsense to you, when it's not even part of your character or "brand (as Kevin put it), and seeing if you'll be cooperative. Hollywood probably prefers these kinds of cooperative actors, as you'll be easier to use, and thus probably get booked way more than if you didn't.
I really hope you know that cross-dressing applies to girls and women too.
Females that wear trousers/pants and shorts are cross-dressing.
@TedEhioghae nah no one cares if woman wears pants no says that women is crossdressing, this are most office working women.
Sounds like a standard business what do you expect? Producers are going to start projects that make money and they will choose people that are willing to do them. How is it their fault that an actor may be uncomfortable with it? People don't hire actor solely based on brand they hire based on tropes of stories that sell, one of them being men wear dresses.
As a South African, I've stopped being surprised by the ignorance about Africa as a whole from much of the west.
I once saw premium houses being advertised in Nairobi for 4 million dollars and the white people's comments were as you can imagine. they thought the houses were meant for them because no African could possibly afford 4 mil. "why would I move from Europe to spend 4 mil in Africa" bruh. If you won't, stay away, plenty of Kenyans can afford that and will buy
Never been a fan of Katt's comedy shows. Always LOVED his like podcasts and interviews. And here he showed why he's so great
Same here. His comedy is mid at best, comes with his own silly voice like Chris rock, but I like what he has to say elsewhere.
Really?? Not even when he was in his pimpin era?
@@Sar-ahG alright I forgot about that
We always see how much someone's moral code or ethics is, once they're offered enough money to rid themselves of either.
Where do you get a moral component to a man playing an exaggerated representation of a woman?
@@3MrNiceGuy15Bro facts😂 I bet he has mo problems with rappers glorifying gang culture and ppl selling drugs
@@3MrNiceGuy15 To dress up like a woman is a weird behaviour, but not an immoral one (afaik). I'm confused, my statement was essentially calling into question Kevin's statement stating he'd never put a dress on.
And then he was paid enough.
Plenty of people in this world do almost anything for colourful pieces of paper and the digital numbers, when they ought to have more integrity and self-respect.
@@Scriptures_K it's not weird behavior in the context of a comedy routine though. It checks all the boxes of what people typically find funny.
Athletes to, look how many nfl and nba players wear female clothes, dresses, skirts. Or change their political beliefs. They were conservative in college then become hard-core liberals once they get their big nfl contract. Then the nfl starts scripting them successful stats.
In Hollywood it goes back as far as Jack Lemon and Tony Curtis (“Some Like it Hot” 1959)
They said after Kevin Hart appeared in a dress on SNL his career skyrocketed but I feel like his career had already skyrocketed before that point.

I think this year is gonna be pretty tough, but will bring a lot to light
Completely agree with Aba at 7:30. Their are instances, especially in theatre, where crossdressing works really well. Like Mrs. Doubtfire. Or like Aba’s long robe. I think back in the early 2000’s and 90’s it was the comedy back then and like Aba said Hollywood is lazy and likes to redo things that already work. Doesn’t mean Katt is wrong but Aba and Preach are right.
It’s all throughout theatre. There isn’t as much taboo because there’s a history of Shakespeare and Greek and Roman culture, it’s only now that we have a problem with It because people don’t understand the difference and hang ups of race dynamics AND they don’t know the history of entertainment.
Preach 😂😂😂, I can tell you definitely that we have paved road and running water in Nigeria.
Chris Tucker playing Ruby Rhod was an iconic role. But I can do without all the others.
Did he wear a dress in that role or was it just those hyper androgynous jumpsuits? I guess someone could say it's "emasculation" or whatever but he was also beating it up left and right -- _lift off._
@@Kaspar.C0LDwas just the jumpsuits. He never wore a dress.
That part was initially written for Prince. Who has wore many outfits that resembles the character.
Yeah, Chris Tucker never wore a dress in The 5th Element.
coming from a theatre background, cross dressing and gender swaps were always apart of comedy. For some reason the audience loves to laugh at a hyper masculine man being hyper feminine. Its been around for centuries. The whole hollywood thing is weird but logical denomination is either the humiliation of hyper masculinity or straight up comedy.
I have a client who is an actor and we had a conversation about how every successful actor has worn a dress on screen. It's crazy how EVERY "successful" male has worn a dress.
It crazy I wanted to become a actor but not anymore
@@Ziggyhere57 the barrier to millions of dollars is wearing a dress? Wow you are a true victim 😂
@@Forty8-Forty5-Fifty8Most actors are millionaires.
It definitely comes from an insidious and malicious place. Laziness may play a part, but as we see, the dress afforded many of these men an almost immediate boost in their careers. Its done to emasculate black men to the audience and to establish dominance and compliance within the industry. IMO
