The Twelve Days Of Kwanza
On the first day of Kwanza,
my childrens asked me, "mama what is Kwanzaa for, anyway?"
On the second day of Kwanzaa...
some lady bothered me. I cursed her out and I say "no, I don't wan't no Olan
Mills pictures and quit calling here!"
On the third day of Kwanzaa...
I went out to the store. I needed beer and cigarettes but they was closed,
so I smashed out the windows, did a drive-by and cursed em all out.
On the fourth day of Kwanzaa...
I turned on the T.V. Young and the Restless, All of My Children, One Day to
Live, and then "Oprah" at 4 o'clock.
On the fifth day of Kwanzaa...
My check came in the mail. AFDC! "Thank you Lord" I said, "come on kids,
let's go to the store for some collard greens, hamhocks and some cheese."
On the sixth day of Kwanzaa...
the police rang the bell. They served a warrant, I nearly passed out! But it
was ok, some woman had said I stole her wigs, but I told them all I was
gonna give them back anyway.
On the seventh day of Kwanzaa...
I poured myself a drink. I drank 40 ounces, got really full, then lost my
mind. I drove down the street cursing out everyone I saw. Then I bashed the
Cadillac upside a Dairy Queen.
On the eighth day of Kwanzaa...
I bought a TV Guide... not much had happened. I was hungover from a bad
headache from Schiltz Malt Liquor Bull. I tried to stay home and be quiet,
take my nerve pills... you can just feel Kwanzaa in the air.
On the nineth day of Kwanzaa...
I painted all my nails. Two shades of purple, one shade of turquoise,
throwed on some glitter, did 'em up real nice. I was looking good! Then I
drove on down to Popeyes, bought me some chicken and I stayed home and
looked at T.V.
On the tenth day of Kwanzaa...
Shoplifting was the thing. ten Now or Laters, nine little candies, eight
cans of tuna fish, seven little niknaks, six pack of Budweiser, five Lee
Press-On Nails, four pieces of gum, three large fries, two days back in
jail... it was Kwanzaa, so what the hell?
On the eleventh day of Kwanzaa...
I got out on parole. I rolled a big joint, went down to church and talked
all out of my head. Got happy and shouted, passed out and hollered. They
called 911 and the Lord set me free! Gave my testimony, stepped on home,
didn't even remember where I stayed, I woke up real hungry and confused.
LORD
On the twelfth day of Kwanzaa...
My childrens gathered around me. Lincoln, Alow vera, Gyne-Lotrimin,
LemonJello, OrangeJello, Tinactin, Tempasia, KMartina, Fallopia, Shi'Thead,
Shameka-Vonquishia, Salmonella, Chlamydia Champagne, Democtorius, Saskatoon,
Cheeto and Skuketia...
And it had really started to feel more like it was getting near Kwanza

One of the funniest people I've ever acquainted was a black woman named
Julia. She's got a dry sense of humor, and knows how to make people laugh.
One day while working I was thinking about "black magic" and other
phenomena. In passing conversation I asked her, "Julia, do you believe
Voodoo and things like that are real?" She looked straight at me and said
"I'm black ain't I?"

It may be ok for a black woman to poke fun at black Americans, or it may
not be. But YOU are not a black American. YOU were repeating a series
or racist stereotypes about black Americans, assumiong that others, also
not black Americans, would find it funny.
And I don't think it's ok to make red-neck or blonde jokes. There are
quite enough examples of induvidual stupidity without unjustly applying
it to those who have not demonstrated it.

They may laugh at themselves all they want. I love Richard Pryor. But
you aren't Richard Pryor, and you aren't laughing at yourself.

Not at all. I'm a skinny white guy with no ass, can't sing, can't dance.
I can mock myself. I choose not to use stereotypes to mock others.

In general, it's not considered courteous to poke fun at other people
who aren't close to you, because you won't know to stop when it causes
genuine offense. When people poke fun at themselves or at people close
to them, they know how far they can go without crossing the line.

For the most part, I agree it wasn't that funny and perhaps in poor
taste. In Sharon's defense I thought the last one was funny. I have
had students with the following names, spelling is actual, not
phonetic:
Shakwila, De'Ondray, Deandre, Nakeisha, Eranne (pron. erin), Hosia
(pron. jose), Airrick (pron. eric), Annah, Kianga, Taj, Raziya,
Brittini, Brittany, Brittini, Britney, Halston, Schamonda, Sir
Terrance, Blade, Brandon, Brenden, Brandaun.
Not all of the above names are of black students and some of the worst
named kids are my best/favorite students. My point? Some people
(including some black people) name their kids silly things. That's a
fact.
Are we really so PC that we can't take jokes? Why is it that a black
person can make fun of black people and rednecks can make fun of
rednecks? Who can I make fun of? I want someone to make fun of!!! By
your logic we can't make fun of christians because we're not
christians. Now really, is that what you want?

So was Kitty Fitzgibbon WGNI Radio (the biggest radio station in Wilmington,
NC)
Get a life.. the black community has fought its own battles and don't need
you to do their fighting for them. Just because they're black doesn't make
them handicapped.
Maybe it's because I'm from the South, and have a lot of black friends. It
doesn't bother me, no more than it bothers them.
Shirley Q. Liquor (or they've hired a black woman who can speak just like
her on WGNI Radio) -- everyone in this region loves to hear Shirley on the
radio. She's hilarious.
"I meet a lot of people on the street and they all ignorant. But they all
have one thing in common. They listen to you guys, on WGNI."

Wilmington, NC loves Shirley!

BTW, thanks for the defense, but I sure thought Shirley's "Twelve Days of
Kwanzaa" was a heckuva lot funnier than some songs and poems we're seeing
circulating. Especially the part mocking "speaking in tongues" -- I'm not
ashamed at all to admit, Shirley is one funny female comedian -- and I hope
she goes far and makes the rest of the country laugh like she has people in
North Carolina. She wouldn't be employed by a large radio station like WGNI
if she couldn't make people (white and black) laugh. Her song was funny, and
it wasn't intended to offend anyone.
But, we can always return to traditional verses for the Holiday season:
Subject: Twas' the Night Jesus Came
Twas' the Night Jesus Came
Twas' the night Jesus came
and all through the house,
not a person was praying,
not one in the house..
The Bible was left
on the shelf without care,
for no one thought
Jesus would come there..
The children were dressing
to crawl into bed,
not once ever kneeling
or bowing their head..
And Mom in the rocking chair
with babe on her lap,
was watching the Late Show
as I took a nap..
When out of the east
there rose such a clatter,
I sprang to my feet
to see what was the matter..
Away to the window
I flew like a flash,
tore open the shutters
and lifted the sash..
When what to my wondering
eyes should appear,
but Angels proclaiming
that Jesus was here..
The light of His face
made me cover my head...
was Jesus returning
just like He'd said..
And though I possessed
worldly wisdom and wealth,
I cried when I saw Him
in spite of myself..
In the Book of Life
which he held in his hand,
was written the name
of every saved man..
He spoke not a word
as he searched for my name,
when He said "it's not here"
My head hung in shame..
The people whose names
had been written with love,
He gathered to take
to his Father above..
With those who were ready
He rose without sound,
while all of the others
were left standing around...
I fell to my knees
but it was too late,
I'd waited too long
and thus sealed my fate.
I stood and I cried
as they rose out of sight,
Oh, if only I'd known
that this was the night.
In the words of this poem
the meaning is clear
the coming of Jesus
is now drawing near...
There's only one life
and when comes the last call,
We'll find out that the Bible
was true after all..
Please send this to as many people as possible...none should be left
behind. JESUS LOVES YOU!!!!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, (YOU), that he gave his one and only
Son, that whosoever (YOU) believes in him shall not perish but have eternal
life.

Here's something that sort of ticked me off this morning when I went
searching for the lyrics to Shirley's song. The Redneck "Twelve Days of
Christmas" is on the web on quite a number of web pages.... because it's a
whitey who wrote the song. But a black female comedian does a song that's
just as funny (no, funnier), and it's next to nowhere to be found (though
its been on the radio for about two or three years now in a row). Shirley is
a very funny comedian, but she won't be given the same opportunities as her
white male counterparts.
That is racism. (I found her song's lyrics listed on *one* web page, in a
forum this morning). I hope her career as a comedian goes far, despite the
racism.

Protests Close Shirley Q. Liquor Drag Minstrel Show
By Keith Boykin
September 18, 2002 06:00 AM
in sexuality
When New York organizers got word last week about a racially offensive
performance involving a white man in drag and blackface, they quickly put
together a demonstration that helped shut down the show.
But the strategy that worked in New York may not work in New Orleans. With a
devoted following of gay men and a nationwide tour, the show's star, Charles
Knipp (aka Shirley Q. Liquor), is a popular drag queen who is not going away
anytime soon.
Cartoon Images of Blacks
In the 1991 poem "Tongues Untied," Marlon Riggs tells of his experience
moving from Augusta, Georgia to the "great gay mecca" of San Francisco,
where he "tried not to notice the few images of blacks that were most
popular - joke, fetish, cartoon caricature, or disco diva adored from the
distance."
Two years later, "Cheers" star Ted Danson provoked outrage when he donned
blackface at his then-girlfriend Whoopi Goldberg's Friar's Club roast. Even
Spike Lee ran into criticism of his film "Bamboozled" when he used minstrel
images to satirize the way television misuses black images. "That's the
danger with satire," wrote film critic Roger Ebert. "To ridicule something,
you have to show it, and if what you're attacking is a potent enough image,
the image retains its negative power no matter what you want to say about
it."
If Ted Danson and Spike Lee couldn't get away with it, it's hard to
understand why Charles Knipp thinks he can. Yet Knipp, a white man dressed
as a black woman, is traveling the country on a multi-city tour for his
"Ignunce" show with his alter ego, Shirley Q. Liquor.
Perhaps it's no surprise that most of Knipp's performance cities are located
in the South, but New Yorkers, on the other hand, don't take kindly to
old-fashioned racism. That's what Knipp learned when his New York
performance was protested and closed last Friday at the View Bar in Chelsea.
The View Bar itself was shut down by police and fined $5,000 for a "quality
of life" infraction, according to Gary English, executive director of People
of Color In Crisis (POCC), which helped lead the protest. The protesters say
they never intended to shut down the View Bar, but they did want to educate
the public about the issue. The Audre Lorde Project, New York's Anti
Violence Project, and a youth group called Fierce took part in the 50-person
demonstration, and groups are now working with The View Bar and local gay
publications to discuss greater racial sensitivity.
In a world where discrimination has become more specialized and refined,
Knipp's show "is such old racism," complains Michael Roberson, POCC's
director of services. "Racism is new and improved today," he says.
Similarly, English calls Knipp's act "a minstrel show."
Ebonics for White Men
Knipp does not appear to be concerned about controversy. "Let me axe you,"
Knipp writes on his website, "What does Shirley Q. Liquor's website need?"
If the results are to be believed, just 4 percent think the site needs "less
offensive" humor. That may tell you a lot about Knipp's audience.
The site, written in "black English," raises a number of anti-black
stereotypes. A fake ad for "Ebonics Airways" reads, "Our stewardesses is not
maids, prostitutes or waitresses. Nor is they here to deal with your luggage
or listen to your screaming chirren. They also do not fly the plane, so do
not axe them 'how much longer till we get there.' Anyone bothering a
stewardess will be beaten down and shackled."
Perhaps it's no surprise that some white gay men, who comprised most of the
audience at the View Bar last week, love the show. Knipp reinforces
preconceived negative images of African Americans that are already reflected
in the white gay media.
Knipp reportedly brushed aside criticism about his show's racial content.
"To be honest, people of colour who have seen my shows live or heard my CD's
overwhelmingly tell me how much they enjoyed my accurate portrayal of a
certain genre of the gritty, witty Southern women that they fondly remember,
no matter what her race," he said.
Unlike Spike Lee's film, Knipp's routine is not a case of using a stereotype
to educate the public. His website suggests otherwise, as he repeatedly
identifies black people as "ignunt" and even creates a "compendium of
ignunce." Rather than challenging the ignorance of stereotypes, Knipp uses
the stereotypes to show why he thinks blacks are ignorant.
If there is a bright side to this story, English hopes the controversy will
serve as wake up call for "racial education in terms of white gay men
looking at racism in a very hard way." "The missing piece here is that white
gay men need to talk to white gay men about racism, because that's there
job." English says it's "more impactful when it comes from their own
counterparts."
Knipp's Past, Present & Future
Last year, Knipp gained notoriety for his holiday song "12 Days of Kwanzaa,"
which The Atlanta Journal-Constitution described as "toxically politically
incorrect." The year before, he ran for Congress as a Libertarian candidate
in Beaumont, Texas and claimed to be a black woman with 19 children.
Charles Knipp, aka Shirley Q. Liquor, can be contacted by email at
or on his website at ShirleyQLiquor.com.
This Saturday, Knipp will perform at the Pittsburgh Eagle for a show that he
readily admits "will not be 'politically correct.'" From Pittsburgh, it's
off to Boston, Austin, New Orleans, Memphis, Jackson, Mobile, Ft. Lauderdale
and Clearwater, all by the end of the year. He also plans to be in Toronto,
Columbia, Augusta, Savannah and Houston soon.

Everybody in this area loves "Shirley", but if people in the Wilmington, NC
area catch on that "Shirley" is a homosexual man I wonder what the listeners
will think, or maybe they'll just turn to another station?
People in NC -- the Bible Belt are real sticklers against homosexuals. There
was a woman in the news last year in the news for weeks. She was hired as
the church pianist in Wilmington, and when they learned she was playing
piano at a gay bar, they fired her.

Get it through your heads. You are not going to change anyone's mind by
telling them they are a racist. Chances are they already know this. The
only thing you can do is go about your life and ignore them and try to
live your life in a way that MIGHT make them think or reconsider their
views on judging people based on race, religion, or whatever else.
