Shirley Q. Liquor's Racist Scum

Why are the Black activist who are so offended by racism not at the Hard Rock's comedy club when Chris Rock was lambasting everything about white people if they are so bent on stamping out racist stage acts.

...I think Shirley Q. Liquor and Chris Rock are funny.

Lots of Black comedians are applauded when making humor of trashy white crackers,,,it's funny because there is an element of truth to it. Just like laughing it up over fagots and niggers.

I feel like if you can not joke about crackers, niggers and fagots then we are all too serious and we should know what can happen when disdain for negative stereo types is serious.

Nazism, Communism and Islamo Fascism is the alternative.....I plan to be there this weekend at the Convention Center to take in the sights.

And...why aren't Pat Robertson and Rush Limbaugh organizing protest at appearances by Larry the Cable Guy ,Or calling for a ban on reruns of HeeHaw...?

And why is Barack H. Obama given a pat on the back for stereo typing poor whites as bitter dummies who cling to their guns and Bibles...?

Smacks of a double standard to me....if we are going to ever achieve equality of the races, classes and genders then we all need to stop being so damn overly sensitive to what is just comical about us....some people just deserve to be made fun of.

Comedy is an exercise in 1st Amendment rights and should never be taken literally. Funny this paper is organizing protesters at an event that's being advertised on this website. ESPECIALLY FUNNY given the fact that the paper's chief editor, Michael Lacey, was recently quoted using the N word at a banquet: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,348412,00.html

I can't help it. I love Shirley Q and think she is really funny. I have every CD Shirley ever did and still crack up every time I listen.

The activists just have nothing to bitch about. Everything is fair game in comedy. Black comedians make fun of white people. White comedians make fun of black people. And everything in between. Get over yourselves.

I write from the bias of being a Shirley Q. fan. For the record, I'm also a white gay man. Judge, belittle or disqualify my opinion accordingly, if that's your inclination.

1. This piece refers to itself as an "article," suggesting at least some degree of journalistic objectivity. But it's an opinion piece with a clearly-visible slant. Boo to the editor for allowing that to pass as such and relegating the piece to an Op-Ed quarters where it belongs.

2. Please tell me I'm not the only one who got a hoot out of the author earnestly referencing a protest email from a sometimes-visitor who took exception to the city of Miami allowing the performance to occur. I wonder if the e-mailer has heard of the First Amendment. You know, that little addendum stating that speaking one's mind, whether in blackface, dressed as Queen Elizabeth, or hanging from their toes in a bikini made of baby seal fur. Point is, it's protected. I suppose the city could bump Shirely Q. by invoking some kind of reference to "community standards"--a certain infamous fatty-in-bikini ban comes to mind--but the city of Miami would have such an army of lawyers and civil libertarians (self included) up their...bikini...as to not require a Poly Sci grad or constitutional scholar to point out it'd be a first-class blunder.

Thank you. You may unplug your ears now.

YOU TELL 'EM BITCH...!,,,,,,,,,good job...LOL

Don't we still live in the United States? He has the right to put on his show and say whatever he wants, and anyone who finds it offensive should just not buy a ticket! If our society gets anymore politically correct, we will have nothing to laugh at or make fun of!

Anyone who reads this with a critical eye can tell immediately that this "article" was plagiarized, word for word, in its entirety, from:
* The August 2007 issue of "Rolling Stone
* "Wikipedia"
* Jasmyne Cannick's weblog.This begs the questions...

• What are the journalistic standards of the "Miami New Times?" (A 5th grader could have written this._
Is "Tamara Lush" an actual person or a pseudonym?

Duracell Jones,,, why don't you post a link here to the article so we can all check it out. Being vague in your references takes away from your credibility...bla-bla-bla

Thank you all for commenting on this story. I appreciate your thoughtful feedback.
As far as this story being plagiarized, it's simply not the case. I stated very clearly in the article when and where I quoted from other publications. I gave attribution when I quoted Shirley Q. Liquor's comments from other newspapers. That is not plagiarism -- look up the definition.
Charles Knipp/Shirley Q. Liquor would not respond to an interview request from me.
And, finally. Am I a real person? Or a fifth grader? Maybe you should Google my name to find out.

Strange,,,I don't recall any outrage or cries of racism when Eddie Murphy made himself up in white guy make up, did the tight ass walk and secretly caught white people breaking out the booze and laughing it up as soon as the last black guy got off the bus to satire white ignorance in a skit on Saturday Night Live.

Nor do I recall any protest in the media from white professional men when Dave Chappelle did his hilarious white weather guy in the news room act.

Seems like there's a section of black folks in this country that need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so serious.

It's all about how their great grand father was a slave, or their third grade educated mother who started popping out one baby after another shortly after her sixteenth birthday had to clean rich white folk's houses.....BOO-HOOO-HOO.

It's the same shit one could here from any person with no sense of self worth,,,It's the "WE ALL GOT PROBLEMS, BUT MINE ARE THE ONLY IMPORTANT ONES" attitude.

I don't want to hear it,,,,all the fuckin cry babies can go die in a dumpster for all I care............I'm Glenn61,,,,Google my name bitch..!

I was there at the beginning in Orange TX when Chuck was first honing his act; he was extremely popular in his hometown. As I grew up, I learned that there were many blacks; male and female; just like Shirley Q. Liquor. It would be real nice in some sort of perfect world for all black women to be like Oprah Winfrey or Condaleeza Rice; howewver a great many black women seem to have a lot of Shirley's characteristics. Chuck calls 'em like he seems 'em. Of course, that automatically makes him a racist.

What do you think about the same-sex marriage? I have a friend getting married with the same sex under the help of the site biloves.com. And now they live very happily.

Nice one for the New Times to create a story by showing the activists Shirley when she wasn't on the radar in the first place.

Here's Shirley Q. Liquor's act,,,I was there Saturday at one o'clock and videoed most of the performance.check out the links.....G61

All ocmedians make fun or other groups, their own and stereotypes. Maybe the costume is a bit too much, also it's reminiscent of a minstrel show. Then agian, if Eddie Murphy were the comedian, thre wouldn't be any uproar.

It's hard to be objective when the title of your article is "Shirley Q. Liquor's Racist Scum"! I can't believe this kind of thing passes for real journalism. And actually TELLING the Rev. So-And-So that she was performing in Miami, just to rile him up? You REPORT the news, you don't CREATE it for your story!

What about the movie "White Chicks"? Should be banned as well? Or is it only whites parodying other races that gets you upset? Do you not see the irony in calling for a ban on free speech from a free press?!
