Kat Williams Rocks Noose on the Red Carpet and Most Cry, "Fashion DON'T!"




Katt Williams, the pint-sized comedian, rapper, and actor of "Wild 'N' Out" fame wore a noose on the red carpet for the 2007 BET Hip-Hop Awards. Some people consider it an ignorant, socially irresponsible move; others a social commentary; others try to understand his intentions, but find his attempt to keep dialogue about recent hate crimes alive misguided. Perhaps most upsetting is that he chose to wear a noose the same day he chose to wear that jacked up dark pink suit and hair badly in need of a wash, set, and blowdry.

Williams is also"Harlem World Diplomat" and member of the Dipset Family (The Diplomats).




Horrified? Like his ensemble? Share your thoughts....

Blackface Commemorated?


http://www.eonline.com/ reports that:


"Warner Home Video is commemorating the movie's—and the genre's—80th birthday with a new, deluxe three-disc Jazz Singer DVD. If you're not up for 265
minutes of Al Jolson, blackface or Al Jolson acting like a hammy ham while
smeared in blackface* then we suggest you celebrate cinema's sound era by
visiting (or revisiting) some of the finer examples of spoken dialogue.
Our ears recommend Casablanca, All About Eve, Annie Hall, Chasing Amy and just about anything written by Billy Wilder."


Hollywood's first feature-length "talkie", Jazz Singer, stars Jewish actor Al Jolson.

I personally recommend anything starring Denzel Washington or Al Pacino...actually, anything preferably not starring actors smeared in blackface.
