Not at all, goalpost in the same place. You said and I quote

"the whole Black American diaspora is valid...from the high
>>>rise, to the suburbs, to the ghetto"

You didn't say just comedy or comedians.

"the whole Black American diaspora" Can't expand it and shrink it to make your point.

It's the same thing Clarke, Thomas and Tiffany are doing it for money and the extras that come with it.

Calling her acting ghetto and unpolished is just a way to justify it.

I'm not multiple people and I said none of that. The problem is when the standard is that low and it's accepted, promoted and defended you get garbage coming up behind it. Cardi B, Tiffany Haddish, Marlon Wayans laying the foundation for garbage.
