Race-baiting Enty gets a hat trick!
ReplyDeleteLisa Bonet?
ReplyDeleteThelma from Good Times
ReplyDeleteEsther Rolle.
ReplyDeleteHaha maybe this is the Gabboury Sidibe one "supersized"
ReplyDeleteClues subject to interpretation. Did he want her to look more black or saying it ironically? Do supersized relate to her size or alluding to title of big hit television show?
ReplyDeleteThought the same, Gaboury Sidibe. And wow! Why does everybody think it's ok to pick on her?! Her dress? Her weight? And now her skin tone?! This is ridiculous!!!! I happen to think her skin tone is beautiful! Just like Lupita Nyong'o.
ReplyDeleteAnd boom goes the dynamite!
ReplyDeleteYou might have something there @Rose super sized might be giant hit show :(
ReplyDelete@TTM I agree...this is race-baiting Enty again.

ReplyDeleteIf that's the case maybe it is Phylicia Rashad or Lisa Honey from Cosby
ReplyDeleteSandy- I thought of phylicia and lisa also. Any hit shows with giant or big in title?
DeleteGabourey's awesome tweet re: GG critics and haters:
ReplyDelete@GabbySidibe
To people making mean comments about my GG pics, I mos def cried about it on that private jet on my way to my dream job last night. #JK
Awesome response.
Delete*Bonet *
ReplyDeleteSadly, this happens to. A LOT of black actresses. Could be anybody.
ReplyDeleteI am led to believe supersized is how big the show was like The Cosby Show. Wasn't supersized also use for thursday nights on NBC because of all their #1 sitcoms on that night?
ReplyDeleteMust See TV @Montana
ReplyDeleteRashida Jones formerly of parks and rec
ReplyDeleteI'm sure "Big" has been used many times dunno about Giant @Rose
ReplyDeleteAww that's it, Thanks @sandybrook
ReplyDeleteOne of the Mowrys just showed up in random pics.
ReplyDeleteI'm hard-pressed to think of a scenario where this would be okay to say, but I'm just not clear on HOW it was said.
ReplyDeleteDid he say it like Chandler Bing ("Could you BE any blacker?") or like a Tim Gunn ("You're not black enough. Make-up! *snap.snap* We need some darkening over here!")?
Also, because I'm betting there's room for a second foot in his mouth and I could use a laugh, I would love to hear what he thinks "more black" looks like.
Would someone really say that to gabby. Shes a midnight shade of black and even the guy meant in mannerisms that she should act more black, I still cant see that being said to her.
ReplyDeleteWith that said, I have no guesses. :(
Aisha Tyler- She was a recurring guest on Friends for quite a bit and their shows were the first to be "Super-sized".
ReplyDeleteI personally like black. It's sleek looking. Don't really see what the big deal is if the person is black and they're wearing black.
ReplyDeleteI guess the same could go in reverse. Someone with super white, pale skin and a pale dress. if someone said...could you be any whiter? I wouldn't be insulted, it would actually be kinda funny. Or even if I had a sunburn and was wearing a red dress...and someone said "could you be any redder?" That's even funnier.
I took it to mean the exec was asking a Black actress to look, speak, behave in a more stereotypical tv idea of an "urban" Black person. A cracker's ignorance that most Black people are middle class.
ReplyDelete@ crila I wouldnt be ofdended if anyone said that to me either-- xould you be any whiter. But obviously our society has negative connotations asociated with dark skin. Every race has a favorable attitude against those who look less like their ethnicity and more white. Hispanic culture/ethnicity, asian ethnicity and african cultures all have the bias. The indian culture has a name for it and arent even allowed to marry outside theirsegment. Thats why I dont think someone would say it to her. Its an added insult I would think ..
ReplyDelete*every race has a favorable attitude towards *
DeleteDamn typos
Well if that is how a character was written for a particular role in a particular movie or TV series? The producer could have used a different descriptor like can you be more ghetto oops sorry.
ReplyDeleteBecause let's face it a lot of the dialogue in movies and TV is offensively or just stupidly stereotypical and not just for one particular race or ethnic group or sex. That is why I love the shows that have the kind of writing that is just the opposite or aims for it even if they don't hit the mark all the time. You know a gay man who is actually quite macho looking and does not talk like less flamboyant members of the gay community because they exist too.
Well of course thats annoying and insulting but its show business and thats the insane shit they say. Coukd u look sexier? " im playing a woman who's husband and child just died!" Can you look taller or shorter or less jock or more jock or more feminine and less new york or less midwestern or more girll next doir thats a secret slut? And it seems to happen way more to women.
ReplyDeletewhat word were they emphasizing? I also took this possibly saying someones tan was way too dark. But as someone said earlier did they mean more "urban" or something. were they being sarcastic or seriously asking? too many questions...
ReplyDeleterace-baiting? you guys are seriously reaching on this.
ReplyDeletelisa bonet, and 'cosby show' being the 'supersized' reference (bc it *was* huge back in the day).
Who has the balls to tell the boss to fuck off?
ReplyDeleteWould a fledgling actress respond this way?
Why would a veteran b asked to change it up?
No one in the middle would dare, IMO.
And like I always say if u r going to b in an occupation of your choosing isn't it best to do things (within reason) to keep working?
people know that all these people look black. That's why I don't understand this with a celebrity.
ReplyDeleteTo Talks Too Much - why is this race baiting?
ReplyDeleteAgree with the Rashida Jones guess. Her character is leaving Parks and Rec soon so she could be looking for a new role. She was on the Office, which frequently had super sized 40 min or 1 he episodes at its peak.
ReplyDeleteI think I would be totally offended if some one asked me if I could be any whiter. I mean why not? Black people are offended when you call them black. I would think "could you be any whiter is like calling you a redneck or kkk. But I think this can be interpretted as a white perwon trying to be black a.k.a Miley or Bieber, in which case that could change the guesses dramatically...On a side note, when my son was born, my dads first words were "wow, he's really white" Im still not sure if that was an insult or out of surprise or what.
ReplyDelete@TalksTooMuch. I don't see anything race baiting about this blind. He's just relaying a quote.
ReplyDeleteSuper Sized was the ad tag line for a certain night of primetime network shows. Like Super Sized Sunday or something. if you can figure out what shows, you can find the actress.
ReplyDeleteSuper sized Thursday was 30 Rock, Scrubs, The Office, and something called Andy Barker PI
ReplyDeleteSo that makes me think Nicole Randall Johnson from MadTv and Andy Barker PI?
