Wanda Sykes Attacks White People and Rush Limbaugh
Wanda Sykes, who recently revealed she is a lesbian, spoke at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, where President Obama and his wife Michelle were seated next to the podium Sykes spoke from.
Sykes said of Rush Limbaugh that she thought he was the twentieth 9-11 high jacker, but she thought he was so strung out on Oxycontin that he missed his flight. Sykes even said she wishes Limbaugh’s kidneys would fail, and that he needed his own water board. The audience did not laugh, but instead gave more of a grown to indicate their discomfort with Sykes, but she continued.
Sykes spent her time speaking attacking and criticizing anyone associated with republicans or conservatives, even their non-political wives.
Our reaction to Sykes comments is that she is rude and inappropriate, as well as another angry lesbian who attacks anyone who doesn’t agree with her political positions on gay marriage. We expect inappropriate behavior from people like Sykes. Just because Sykes is a black lesbian doesn’t give her the right to engage in hate speech.
We were offended by Sykes racist remarks against white people. Racism of any kind at an official White House event is inappropriate. Sykes should be ashamed of herself, but we know she isn’t. We used to like Sykes, but after hearing what she really thinks, we realize what an ugly, and angry, person she is inside. What Sykes did was not comedy, is was personal attacks and racism disguised as comedy.
President Obama should denounce Sykes comments, and never invite her to any official function again.
