After a gushing initial response, Amy Schumer‘s recent parody of Beyonce’s “Formation” has been blasted by African Americans, feminists and social media users for its appropriation of black culture.
The clip was shot in Hawaii during the filming of Schumer’s new comedy, and features her costars Goldie Hawn, Joan Cusack and Wanda Sykes. The women gyrate to Beyonce’s controversial hit, that contains powerful identifying statements from the singer like, “My daddy Alabama / Mama Louisiana / You mix that negro with that Creole / Make a Texas Bama.” Twitter isn’t pleased. There is no possible excuse for @AmySchumer not to know the cultural significance of #Formation for black women.I hope this hurts her career,” said @peacebang. “It is weird to me that @amyschumer thought a song about the police killing black people was perfect for a parody,” wrote Twitter user @ndreajohnson. “Amy Schumer continues to be trash and disrespectful like she doesn’t have access to open conversations about race and black women,” wrote BooksBakesBio. Not only is Schumer accused of cultural appropriation, she dons a T-shirt with the lyric “Texas Bama,” which Time magazine indicates has a painful and very specific history for people of color in America.

At least as a member of the least protected class in America, I have no delusions about getting a pass on anything like that.

There's a lesson there. She won't learn it, but it's there nonetheless.

She found out in the victim Olympics that being a shrill Jewish white chick doesn't even get you on the podium.

Maybe she should have just stuck to making fun of Trump voters. Instead of TexasBamas or whatever the fuck.

They have an ass backwards hierarchy. You have to be the most socially awkward, weird, self proclaimed victim to be in charge.

You folks in here thinking the "left is eating their own" is funny.
What you're doing by posting this is exactly what they want you to do because now you're reading about that fat pig Amy Schumer. Hell I'm sure some of you have now clicked on her video. . . . I'll give you a little hint, her target demographic isn't militant black women, that's more of a Tyler Perry crowd. She actually dated Anthony Jeselnik for a while, who's a funny motherfucker btw but essentially his whole spiel is trying to be Daniel Tosh on steroids. Hell, this is almost like the viral marketing version of concerned trolling |

Quoted: Tampa Florida laughs. View Quote Meh, lets be honest. 200ppl walked out. But about 7800 stayed. Not much of a big deal when in context as to the "finger on the pulse" of Tampa, FL. But I agree with those whose walked out. Its a comedy show. Be funny, dont pander. She was preaching with no funny. Theres plenty of shit to poke fun about Trump for. And she did none of it. Just preached and pandered. Thats what hacks do. ETA: Just saw vid of Trump rally in Tampa. I may stand corrected. MAGA |

FWiW, there is no such thing as bad publicity in her line of work.
Seriously doubt this will hurt her in the least. |

Goldie Hawn looks all melty.
This is what happens when assholes collide. |

I just wish they would wake up and eat HRC before the election.

Why is it every new phrase or mannerism, instead of being viewed as a new, hip, trendy thing is revered as a time-honored inherited gift from their African ancestors? I present into evidence the relatively new phrase "stay woke." |

Love the parody
Glad it riled the folk up 'Bill Gates in the making' ROTFLMAO |

I don't follow entertainment or "celebrities", but if I understand the chatter in this thread, a no talent, insulting "comedian" made a tasteless parody video mocking a protected equal race/class. She is now getting attention for it, and has more people paying attention to her sorry ass.
This about right? I couldn't pick her out of a lineup. |

I don't know what any of this is about, but I'm mildly amused by it. |
