White Critic Calls Wanda Sykes “Black D*ke”

By News One May 12, 2009 8:09 am

<br />

The media operates in cycles – cycles of obsession. Yesterday’s hot-ticket item was comedienne, Wanda Sykes’, borderline controversial performance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. A few of her Limbaugh jokes toed the line of tasteless. (Although, personally, I say “Go in!” He totally deserves it.)

But what I think is even more controversial than Sykes’ comedy is a comment from well-known critic, Christopher Hitchens, that almost slipped through the cracks.

In a brilliant article on The Daily Beast by Chris Rovzar and Jada Yuan which enumerates the unreported highlights of the Correspondents’ Dinner, buried wayyyyyy at the end is this nugget from Mr. Hitchens:

“The president should be squirming in his seat. Not smiling. The black dyke got it wrong. No one told her the rules.”

Sound off! Is this an appropriate response to Sykes’ performance?

    The issue is: dyke is to lesbian and n****r is to african american.
    Some people just have no respect of person. When you’re given an audience you have to mind your words… “black dyke” is like when don imus said “nappy head hoes”… funny how people aren’t in an uproar behind this… or when jamie foxx said miley cryus “should make a sex tape and snort coke to become famous” or when he called her “a lil white cracked out hoe”… my people (black ppl) are amazing, the this we take serious are confusing…

    Well-known critic, Christopher Hitchens??? I’ve never even heard of this person until just now. The Daily Beast??? Never heard of ‘em before. Well, I guess that’s how you become famous – you talk about people who are actually famous.

    First since she’s openly a lesbian what is the issue? If one objects to be called names then one should change themselves as they can to be normal and not deviant – period!

    Despite what I do for a living – work to uphold the rights of all people – I personally am repulsed by gays and keep them out of my inner circle so as not to contaminate my morals. Any insults or harm that comes to those that choose an “alternative” lifestyle they bring on themselves – and yes it is a choice and not some “hard wiring” issue as science insists.

    i just have to say that i am a black man and i have every black woman’s back! they won’t be raping and abusing our ladies like they used to ever again. most of them old white politics are murderers and rapist of our black women any way. no other country like white racists but this one. black men are loved everywhere but here, just look at how the other countries embraced Obama and they were throwing shoes at bush. We are the joined with asians, arabic, mexicans, etc… everyone loves us but them dog smelling, lice having mudda fukkaz. so go ahead and kick off this damn revolution thease nationalities with kick y’all azz. punk!

    I hope she hears about that and does a routine about hiss azz. But he just showed his true colors with that remark….. so it’s all good (Keep ya friends close and your enemies closer) And what does black have to do with her being a dyke. So since were name calling he’s a fat, smelly looking white butt bandit lol, I hope she gets his azz back lol.

    It seems like they are bitter. We know they are racist, sexist, and want to dictate peoples lives in the name of “freedom” so this isn’t surprising. Try are just revealing themselves to us one by one. Rush is an idiot. But republicans last hope. Sucks for them. I’m no democrat either

    1st, I do have an grievance with Wanda Syke’s entire carreer has been based on relationship & “male” bashing. Only just to recently pronounce she’s an same-sex agenda female fixated on her own physical anatomy for her sexual, mental social environment …********* 2nd As far as her political comedy platform.., The propaganda repubican conservative media has revealed their true selves by publicly callin Sykes a dyke to counter her political comedy routine…(((which should be a comment considered during any election time)))…

    I’m so tired of this small minded idiots and their opinion.Since when did a comedy routine, And a new president with good intentions become the focal point of more than a few words. George Bush f**ked up the whole entire world where were all the big mouth critics at for the last eight years? Get a life and a clue

    you know what’s sad is the fact we waste so much time and energy worrying and pointing the finger of peoples choices of their lifestyles and less about how we can improve or better ourselves. i.e Wanda Sykes this woman is a STRONG BLACK WOMAN who probably faced countless challenges to get to where she is today and probably goes home at night and says thank you lord for letting me see another day. not to mention a successful comedian, self proprietor, business owner and one of the consistent charity givers for education. but then again what do i know i just took a few moments to read about the sista’ and less on judging her. PEACE

    These kind of comments will continue to happen until we as a people start putting a ass whipping on those type of fools. He has just exposed his true inner feelings about Blacks and Lebians with his sly remarks. Personally I’m for whipping his ass, I just wish I knew more about him, haven’t heard of him before, lol.

    first off nobody has to answer to anyone but GOD, so if she munches carpets, thats between her and the man upstairs. now as for a white man calling anyone of any race something like that is wrong. if someone was to call ellen white and trashy it would be an uproar. oh and for that comment about black people treating obama as if he himself were God-no one is treating him as if her were God. people of color are happy for a change. a clean up of what the white bush administration f**ked up. i mean arent you ready for a change?

    BroAshanti! You the Man!!…lol

  • 5-14-2009 6:15 pm

    Hitchens was spot-on. He called a spade a spade, Skyes is a Black dyke, a low-class one at that.

    In my view she should have keep her wooly head, foul mouth arse in the CLOSET!

    BROTHER ASHANTI has spoken!

    DAREALRECKLESS I can’t agree with you enough. I wonder if the whole NAACP supports gay marriage newsone article is still available. I stated facts and my opinion. Then here come a lil sweet boy attacking me. Next thing I know a punk ass tried to complain to me by trying to post it on my guestbook. lol, it’s funny how they try to be nice and convince you it’s ok but when you don’t comply with that BS then they wan’t to get very aggressive. I ain’t talkin bout in real life though, face to face it ain’t gone go down like that.

  • 5-14-2009 10:51 am

    This response is very inappropriate but not surprising in the least that it’s not been reported like Ms. Sykes joke has been. I don’t agree wih her lifestyle but for a white man to call a Blck woman “a black” anything is crossing the line. His punk azz wouldn’t have called Ellen Degeneres a “white dike” if it was her makin’ the comments.

    homophobic is a word CREATED by homosexuals and people who support the homosexual agenda to make people who refuse to accept their lifestyle feel like they are in wrong. f.u.c.k homosexuals and their supporters. f.u.c.k that black dyke! lemonade anyone? =]

  • 5-14-2009 2:32 am

    Oh ok, I get it…Thank you VTNeophyte1…..I now understand that if you want Obama’s enormous spending to fail, the fact that he hires people to be ahead of the IRS that don’t even pay their own taxes to fail, the fact that he is such a stonch supporter of the most extreme abortion to fail, the fact that he doesnt want to waterboard detainees that really want to kill us to fail, that makes Rush Limbaugh, a mere talk show host, comparable to a terrorist??? Remember this, what hurts America is willfully ignorant uninformed people who depend on government for everything , hence thats why we’re in this mess we are in now. Rush Limbaugh stated that Obama’s policies undermine everything that this country was built on, which is individual freedom. Wanda Sykes has a first amendment right, I would never want her silenced, but wanting his kidneys to fail is a stretch…(p.s. black people please educate yourself, if anyone tells you to DEPEND on them, and they’re not Jesus Christ, (which alot of you make Obama out to be), please run away fast
