It's an age old issue - Black men putting on frumpy dresses and bad wigs to "portray" black women and girls for "entertainment". The laughs are often at the expense of black women.
Think Flip Wilson's Geraldine, Tyler Perry's Madea, Eddie Murphy's Rasputia, Martin Lawrence's Big Momma and Shenae Nae and Jamie Fox's Wanda.
What is it about those caricatures/characters that engender such laughter? Is it the wigs? the dresses? the loudness? the blackness?
