A guy wearing a dress was funny to everyone in the 80s and 90s. It's absolutely by far not just black guys who've done it. Literally anyone trying to be funny for several decades did this. Conspiracy people are the fucking worst.

OH SHIT! I love Illuminati talk π The Dress conspiracy is funny, because while it can be swept under the rug as "just a normal thing", it is incredibly hard to deny that it is weird. Why have SO many Black Male actors been asked to wear dresses? Comedy, I get. But Ving Rhames isn't funny... Wesley Snipes isn't a comedian... It's interesting, because for all it's worth, when you're a young, up and coming black male actor, you EVENTUALLY get a choice. If you make it big enough and you start making a real splash in the industry, They will give you a choice to either join Them or forever suffer the consequences. THAT'S what the dress is. Nothing more. For all those who wore the dress, their careers skyrocketed as a result. There are cases where these actors would eventually fall off and stop working all together (Chris Tucker and Snipes are examples), but they don't go broke and end up desperate for work either. They serve their purpose, then get to enjoy life outside of the limelight in ways only Diddy could tell ya π
In a way, it's like an athlete out of College. If you're good enough to be drafted (to the NBA, for example), you still have the choice to play for whatever league you want. The NBA just gives you the most perks, the most money, and the most fame, etc. The only difference is that THIS dress situation seems to strictly apply only to Black Male actors, and THAT'S what makes it wierd. You couldn't just offer me a deal? You had to see if I was complicit or not first? You just wanted to see how much I would go along with without saying anything? Like Katt said, ain't no Hoe in my heart, Sirs and/or Madames. But hey, at the end of the day, it's the age ol' question...
"Would you [insert embarrassing thing to do] for a million dollars? And if not, then how much WOULD you do it for?"
Lmao, Good Talk, Guys π
