Oklahoma Mayoral Candidate Defends Dressing Up As A Black Woman Another case of “innocent” black face gone wrong. Via KFOR.com reports : An Elk City mayoral candidate is at the center of controversy after several YouTube videos were shared around town. In the video, Bill Helton, an Elk City commissioner and mayoral candidate, is seen dressing up as a black woman called “Pollyester Kotton.” Some say it is racist and offensive, but others don’t see anything wrong with the character. Helton, who is also a hair stylist, says Kotton’s character was born at the beauty shop. “The character came about from one of my clients, who was African-American, from Texas,” Helton said. With his client’s help, Helton says he transformed into Kotton. He has acted as her at numerous community events, raising money for people in need. The last fundraiser was in 2013. “We filled the house and raised over 20-something-thousand dollars for three families in need,” Helton said. Helton says the character was never intended to be offensive. “Anyone that’s offended, I would sit down and talk to them. Because my heart is, I would never do that and want to help whoever I can help,” Helton said. “If they were offended, then I apologize because that was never my intent, never my heart, to set out to offend someone,” Helton said Anthony R. Douglas, President of the Oklahoma State Conference NAACP, says the use of black face crosses the line. “Yes, this is a character. Men playing women or a woman playing a man is not new and can be very funny. But in black face? Have we learned nothing at all? This ‘character’ could have been just as effective done without the black face makeup and would be far less offensive,” Douglas said. SMH. Why is it so hard for people to just leave the black face alone?

Mo’Nique’s New Film Tackles Being Black, Gay And Christian Mo’Nique says she’s been blackballed by Hollywood , so she’s blazing her own trail on the independent circuit. The outspoken Academy Award winner, who won acclaim for her portrayal of Mary, the abusive mom in 2009’s “Precious,” is back, this time playing a deeply religious mother coming to terms with gay teen son in the new movie, “Blackbird.” Mo’Nique and her husband, Sidney Hicks, co-executive produced the coming of age movie. “I know those mothers, who are in church everyday,” she said, “but still have a hard time accepting their baby.” “Blackbird” stars Mo’Nique and Isaiah Washington as the parents of Randy, played by newcomer Julian Walker. Set in a religious small town in Mississippi, the family has to navigate Randy’s budding sexuality as well as a daughter being kidnapped. “It’s a story that has to be told,” Mo’Nique told BOSSIP. “It’s necessary for the healing of people, and to allow people to start being who they want to be.” Mo’Nique said although “Blackbird” tackles homosexuality within an African-American family, the theme is universal. “When we say ‘homosexuality in the black community,’ I used to think the same thing too. That it was such a blow to the black community,” she told BOSSIP. “When we took this film out, there were white men coming up to me and saying, ‘That’s my story.” Up next for Mo’Nique is the HBO film “Bessie,” where she plays bisexual blues singer Ma Rainey. Mo’Nique said it’s entirely a coincidence that both “Blackbird,” and her next film, “Bessie,” deal with homosexuality in the African-American community. “It’s a story that needs to be told,” Mo’Nique said. “and the people telling it just happen to be black. It’s not a black movie. People of all colors want acceptance, don’t they?” “Blackbird” opens in theaters April 24.

Stephen A. Smith Suggests “ALL” Black People Vote Republican In 2016 ESPN’s resident loud-mouth Stephen A. Smith spoke to at Vanderbilt University this week and discussed his thoughts on black people’s undying devotion to the democratic party. According to Stephen Ayyyeeeee…via Washington Post: What I dream is that for one election, just one, every black person in America vote Republican…. Black folks in America are telling one party, ‘We don’t give a damn about you.’ They’re telling the other party, ‘You’ve got our vote.’ Therefore, you have labeled yourself ‘disenfranchised’ because one party knows they’ve got you under their thumb. The other party knows they’ll never get you and nobody comes to address your interest. We’re all well aware that African-American political support is overtly disproportionate Democrat, but do you think it’s a good idea for ALL BLACK PEOPLE to vote GOP? Does Stephen A. Smith make a valid point? Discuss… Photo: WENN
