@hi74 The character you posted is considered very offensive to Black women. She is very much a stereotype. I would appreciate if one of the moderators deleted that post.
Ms Hill in no way embodies this character!!!!!!!!!!

The character is not offensive to black women. It's just a funny character created by Eddie Murphy for the movie "The Nutty Professor." A movie that a lot of black people watched and enjoyed. Some may see it as a stereotype, I don't.
However, I also don't think that the joke hi74 made is funny, but that's just me. I do find that sometimes people can get a little to serious in here. Should it be taken down? I don't know...
I don't think it was meant to be disrespectful.

I'm not trying to be "serious" or whatever. I personally don't think it's funny I don't think Lauryn Hill would think it's funny either. If I wouldn't show it to her I wouldn't post it here. THAT'S the point that I'm making and this to me is degrading. She's a fictional character made up to make fun of fat people and Lauryn is all about excepting your image for what it is.

@hi74 or karimfly as your username used to be.
Again, can you keep your posts related to the thread. Its distracting to the points raised when you post unrelated topics.

Have you ever watched the movie? The message in the movie is about accepting who you are. While the joke is not funny to me, I wouldn't call it degrading either. As far as Lauryn is concerned, I think she's seen worse. Again, I don't think it was meant to be disrespectful, just a lame joke. |

I understand the feeling of seeing a big black woman smiling being equated with the Aunt Jemima feeling...BUT Karim did not mean it in that way at all. He was making a joke about the afro, jewelry and the dated clothes. That may offend some people to equate that with Lauryn but he definitely did not mean to cross the line with some kind of racial commentary.
