Maybe a different person can explain it better:

I can’t help thinking that Dodson’s new-found popularity is not about shared frustration over crime or violence against women. On threads around the ‘net, Dodson is branded “hilarious.” But what is so funny about Antoine Dodson? Part of the Dodson meme is, I fear, about laughing at mannerisms that the mainstream associates with blackness, gayness and poverty. There is nothing amusing about a young woman assaulted in her home. And so, I worry that people are laughing at Antoine: his flamboyance and perceived gayness; his use of black colloquialisms, like “run tell dat,” his grammar and accent.

In her book Reality Bites Back, Jennifer Pozner writes about how reality TV producers seek out characters that provide drama, including those that reinforce stereotypes about race and gender. In a rapidly shifting media landscape, has this thinking made it into the newsroom, effecting the way reality reality is presented?
Presenting caricatures or stereotypes of race (and gender) in this fashion is a form of racism. It reinforces racism.Quote:
Call me solemn, but I simply couldn’t muster up enough smugness to laugh at a poor, black, widely assumed to be gay man being interviewed outside of a housing project; a man who was filled with genuine anger over the fact his sister was attacked in her own home, but who ends up turned into an object of mockery because of his “stereotypical” mannerisms by pretty much every group under the sun if for different reasons.
The "he said it" argument just doesn't float.
The fact that what he said was about an attempted rape makes the meme even less funny.
This thread is for funny pictures... please take the whining and moral judgement to anther thread or I will.
