15 Seconds of Fame
When you hear the name Wayne Brady, you know it's COON TIME!
For sometime now, I've only discussed my dislike for Wayne Brady with one friend of mine, but now I want to make it known to everyone. The word coon is defined as being an "ethnic slur; offensive name for Black person." Well, every time I see Wayne Brady I get offended.
My friend enjoys watching 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' but I refuse to watch a show whose token negro has to sing, dance, shuck, and jive every time the show is on. What's up with that? Wearing a huge smile he amuses and entertains his white audience, but the junk just isn't funny to me. I know it's an improv show, but he's the MAIN one just coonin'.
Even when I was watching the Miss America pagenant (HEY! nothing else was on), I sat there watching and waitng for him to start dancing. I just knew he couldn't make it through the entire show with out shufflin' those feet. Guess what? Wayne Brady proved me right! There is no such thing as drawing the line for him...
Wayne "Coon Time" Brady will be releasing an album this coming year. Maybe his fans will go out and buy it, but as for me...I'll pass. When I wanna see coons, mammies, picannies, the movie Bamboozled is about as much of it as I can tolerate in our present times. Two thumbs down for Coon Time!
"The Wayne Brady Show" got cancelled quick, didn't it? I must not be the only person who dislikes him! Here is an actual conversation that took place between Wayne and the producers:
Producer: Wayne, the audience loves you so much that we want to give you your own show! Wayne: Really? (showing big coon time grin as he tap dances around) Producer: That's right! Wayne: Do I get to sing and dance and look like a fool? Producer: Well, that's what the audience loves about you, Wayne. You're their favorite little sambo right now. Wayne: Yessa Boss! I knows dat boss!
TWO EPISODES LATER Producer: I guess the television show wasn't as popular as we expected it to be, Wayne. Wayne: What's up with an album?(showing big coon time grin as he tap dances around) Producer: Hey, why didn't I think of that?
