Some folks aren’t here for Wanda Sykes’ anti-Trump talk. She has two words for them, “f*ck you!” Peep the clip of Wanda going off on hecklers, plus details on Octavia Spencer playing Madam C.J. Walker inside….
Comedienne Wanda Sykes isn’t here for president-elect Donald Trump or his supporters.
Over the weekend, Wanda hit the stage at the 22nd annual Comics Come Home fundraiser at Boston’s TD Garden arena for a comedy routine. Like most comedians, Wanda started talking about real life events and went on a rant about Trump. She called him a racist, a sexist and a homophobe.
“I am certain this is not the first time we’ve elected a racist, sexist, homophobic president,” Wanda said. “He ain’t the first one. He’s just the first confirmed one.”
Welp…
That comment turned some folks (Trump supporters) off and they began to BOO her. Her response?
“F*ck you, motherf*ckers. F*ck all y’all. F*ck all y’all.”
Savage!
She continued,
“The evidence is there. How can you say he is not racist? ‘Grab them by the p***y’? How can you say he’s not sexist? How can you say he’s not racist? How can you say he’s not homophobic?”
She told no lies.
Peep the clip below:
Meanwhile on Twitter, Wanda has been busy reposting articles that back up how she feels about Trump. We're not mad.
On a lighter note...
Actress Octavia Spencer is gearing up to star as Madam C.J. Walker in a new limited series about her life based on A’Lelia Bundles’ bestselling biography "On Her Own Ground."
Not only will she star as Madam C.J. Walker, the Oscar winner will also produce the limited series about the iconic haircare pioneer. Yep, this is the woman we CAN thank for creating the magical black hair care products we still use today in different forms.
The script will be written by Nicole Asher (Coco) and it will be directed by Kasi Lemmons (“Shots Fired”). The new series will be shopped around to different networks in the near future.
According to Deadline, "On Her Own Ground" is described as the definitive biography of Walker, written by her great-great-granddaughter A’Lelia Bundles.
The daughter of slaves, Walker was orphaned at 7, married at 14 and widowed at 20. She spent the better part of the next two decades laboring as a washerwoman for $1.50 a week. Then, she created her hair company and became one of the richest black people in the country before she passed away in 1919. #BlackGirlMagic!
