Tell me about the black female comedian who, when it was all said and done, they were well taken care of. Can you? See, Rosie O?Donnell never has to work again if she don?t want to. Roseanne Barr, Ellen DeGeneres, Tina Fey, Melissa McCarthy, the list goes on. Tell me about the black ones. Tell me about the black ones.
When actors win Oscars, usually we see them working more and getting more roles. With you, it was almost the exact opposite. It dissipated.
Again, baby, when you know the history ? When Hattie McDaniel first won, the private talks was, ?We hope this nigga don?t think now we gon? pay her equal. Matter of fact, we gon? pay her less so she know she ain?t that special.? So when I won that Oscar, they still wanted to treat me as if I took it off the Greyhound bus. I was unwilling to do that. So it wasn?t like the calls didn?t come ? they did come. But they were coming like I just got to Hollywood. They were calling as if they were doing me a favor.
There was never a question in your mind of, ?Let?s play the game and do the small stuff, and hopefully it leads to the big moments later on??
No, baby. Because once again, that?s the same thing Hattie McDaniel did. So, now we gon? speed up 50 years later, and we still gon? say, ?We hope they like us enough that they?ll give us a li?l something?? No. That?s unacceptable. As long as we keep having those niggas that will, we keep being paid unfairly.
Biiiiiiiiitch she better fucking speak my gawd.
