I used to follow Lakeith on IG a few years and he had some other weirdo behavior back then that made me unfollow. Can’t remember what it was because he frequently erases his entire profile.
speaking of which, i noticed rogen (who is jewish) liked lakeith's apology on insta. really let down by that
I think the larger conversation is about white people co-opting AAVE, not just SNL. The sketch was horrible, either way edit: There’s an even larger convo about AAVE’s place in the English language and how society picks it apart and looks down on it in certain situations while profiting from it in others, but no one wants me on a linguistics soapbox haha
It is pretty rich to try to make fun of how younger people talk (and still getting it wrong) when your host is a 50-year-old manchild who acts like a particularly annoying person in their early twenties.
I’ve always kind of worried that his over the top defenses of Woody went beyond just having a long-standing professional relationship and jumping in unnecessarily because of that. Also that denial is gross. “I never stuck my tongue in anyone’s ear, not that I condemn those who do.” ???
