gabrielle-union-hollywood-racism

Gabrielle Union said on the Angie Martinez show if she wanted to be a comedian like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones, she would have be invited over to Judd Apatow’s house.

Here’s what Gabrielle Union revealed:

“There’s not a lot of smart comedies where they want a black women. They want us shucking and jiving and cooing…You can’t get the role.

They’re going to get Tina Fey. They’re going to get Amy Poehler, they’re going to get Rashida Jones, that crew. I’ve just gotta get myself invited to Judd Apatow’s house!”

  1. She’s saying nothing new. On the I’m Burger Show , he went in on all these female comics that suck D for spots at shows. Chelsea Handler got pissed on dead in the face… that’s what a lot of men comics think about women comics. WAKE UP LADIES!!!

    • Gabby Union seems like a self hating jerk who constantly sucks up to white and gets rejected. Nobody likes a suck up. She probably is dumb enough to think those spanish chicks she calls her friends arent girls who just want to get in her ugly man’s pockets and take her place.

      She probably encouraged that ugly ghetto boy she married to disrespect and mistreat his X. Her day is coming.

      • Doris you are just jealous because me and sugar boo wear matching Capri pants and tubes. Nah!

        Signed,
        Gabby Union

        • Let me Gabby “perfectionist ” Union be clear …you are just jealous because me and my sugar boo DwYne wear matching Capri pants and tube tops…so nah !
          I will talk with you later. I have to make another skin care commercial.

  2. White people aren’t overly interested in seeing comedies that feature black people. Most of the time they wouldn’t get the joke anyway. Kevin Hart is the current black coon who has a little box office draw but there has to be a white male alongside him to draw in a white audience. There hasn’t been a decent female black comedian with box office draw since Flip Wilson put on a dress. Sadly, the closest a black women will get to comedy stardom is a black man wearing a dress.

      • YEAH BUT WHITES CHOSE THE MOST UNATTRACTIVE BLACK WOMEN ALWAYS OR THE FAT ONES WHICH WAS WHY BARBARA WALTERS CHOSE HER, AND STAR JONES AND SHERRI SHEPHARD.

        THEY ARE NOT GONNA PUT A PRETTY BLACK WOMAN ALONGSIDE ALL THOSE CUTE LITTLE WHITEGIRLS NO ITS TOO MUCH FOR WHITE AMERICA.

        NOBODY IN WHITE AMERICA THINK WHOOPI IS FINE PLUS SHES A DYKE.

        • How dare you dare you disrespect WHOOPIE!!! YOU FUCKING SHALLOW ASSHOLE! FUCK YOU! SHE IS A ICON!!! BLACK PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS PUTTING HER DOWN BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T HAVE ANY EUROPEAN / HISPANIC FEATURES. I HATE BLACK PEOPLE EITH A PASSION. IGNORANT ASS NOTHING ASS RACE. WISH I DIDN’T SHARE THE SAME COLOR AS YOU PEOPLE. IGNORANT PEOPLE.

          • ^^^^^DO U BELIEVE REAL BLACK FOLKS BELIEVE U R BLACK?????

            WE DO NO HOW 2 READ BETWEEN DA LINES, AND U R VERY OBVIOUS AS 2 WHO U REALLY R, AND WE C IT 2!

            • Bitch I am black. Your the one who seems like a white person with your hate for black icons. Ignorant low class ghetto garbage juice piece of scum. There are black people with class that look down on trash like you. I would never march if a white shot you down. Fuck you!

          • WELL WHY DONY YOU GET A NOSEJOB AND BLEACH YOURSELF THEN.

            OR WHY DON’T YOU JOIN ISIS AND GO KILL YOURSELF FOR ALLAH.

            • Why Dont you go f*ck off. Stop writing me with your ignorant self. I would kill you quicker than any white cop. Trust me I hate you niggas in the black race. Y’all are bringing us classy blacks down. Always bashing on women like Whoopie for not looking the way your self hating ass want them to look when the subject has nothing to do with looks. She is talented and should have your utmost respect but you’re too ignorant to do that. Niggas like you will be the same one marching when somebody white says something after you just got finished tearing a black person down because of their features. Go back to being a slave with your house nigga mentality.

  3. Uhm, is she serious?!?! Gabrielle is really smelling herself. I get what she’s saying but she is marginally talented, so why is she judging. She’s limited when it comes to comedy and she’s a horrible actress. She can’t act. I don’t enjoy her work unless she has impeccable writers. Plus, her timing is never on. She’s a huge miss.

    • Thank you – here lips don’t move and her expressions are nothing…
      Oh poor baby, she knew this when she started acting… How many sister has she spoke bad about….. Her rep is not too good.

  4. First typically women are boring and not funny, at least for most men. Maya Rudolph is funny as does her own thing and is black. Tina Fey may suck D but she also has put in work since SNL and is a phenomonal writer. I still think Amy Sedaris is the most slept on female comedian to date. Its just a mans world and men regardless of color do not see women as equals.

    • . You always trying to throw a divide between male and females. Are you a gay man?…….. Cause you sure do write and have the opinions of a stereotypical gay male.

        • This is my first time hearing that women are not funny. Women are rip roaring funny. I mean, the first pioneer of female comedy Jackie “moms” Mabley, , Samore, Tifdany had dish, my mother, my sister, two of good friends,

          • I believe Hitchens is referring to moderately attractive (“unintelligent/dumb)”)and educated women (“dull/boring”). Conventionally unattractive people are generally candid and humorous, he mentioned that in the video. If you’re black then you’re a natural comedian as no other group can entertain while touching the human Spirit amid real life crisis and tragedy:

            An oldie but goody. I still have conflicting feelings with each view.

    • Amy Sedaris is my girl! Ever since Strangers with Candy I have followed her(and her brother David.)
      I’m glad that Letterman has her on his show regularly.

      • Yeah I heard of Amy after following David in my teens. A prerequisite for my baes is being familiar with me talk pretty one day. And a mys guest appearance on Martha Stewart living is classic. bong water. Chick can steal a show

    • Typically? Lol you must be gay and a woman hater. I know lots of funny women. But I understand being raised by menapausal bitter women will make you grow to hate women.

  5. DON’T THINK MAYA RUDOLPH LIKES BLACK PEOPLE ALWAYS SAW HER HANG AROUND WHITE DUDES.

    LOVE MINNIE RIPERTON’S MUSIC THOUGH.

  6. Gabrielle, Stacey, Porsha, and whoever else this applies to…can you all put some clothes on? It does not hurt, and you won’t get sick, and people will not laugh at you, if you just put some clothes on.

  7. Maya Rudolph will tell you “I’m only HALF BLACK.” Meaning, I discount that ish. She will convenient take on playing Black if it gets her work.

    Gabrielle Union is a marginal actress.

    Wanda Sykes can be down right hilarious.

    And I agree The View would NEVER hire a beautiful, smart Black woman like Sunny.

    • Well The Talk hired a beautiful black woman Aisha Tyler. And she’s smart too.

      • I love Aisha! Chick is pretty and smart think she attended Dartmouth were she met husband. Mindy Kaling is another funny Ivy Leaguer.

        • Non Importante As your silent(usually) long time supporter, cohort in humor and friend in my head(with apologies to Wendy W), my mental picture of you has always been Aisha.
          Am I the only one who imagines what some HSK regs look like? lol

  8. @Just sayin’ – you are EXACTLY right! The dumbing down of America is in full effect. I’ve never seen as many misused words as I do now. Woman/women, than/then, their/there/they’re, whether/rather (which I do not understand how those words are switched AT ALL), etc. I’ve even see people use ARE instead or OUR (i.e. We missed are bus – WTF???). It is really sad and it seems that those people making these mistakes don’t even want to correct themselves. They are content being ignorant.

    • ren and stimpy…niggas with brains…who gives a f8ck about proper spelling…and who the f*ck r u mr, and ms. dinglehorton…3rd grade bully of innocent minds…bitch u r no longer in school…at least im not so what should i care how an idiot feels…im ouch chere patna.

      • @anon 23:08,
        It does make a difference. If you came to me looking for a job, I would look at your social media, your resume, and ask you to write a couple paragraphs on why you want the job. I’ve worked in all levels of business and now I own my own company. I’m here to tell you that you would not get hired in my company if you didn’t use proper grammar.
        And you people cry about not getting hired. This is one of the damn reasons!! I am black but most of my colleagues are white, and they talk about this all the time. They want literate employees who can spell, punctuate, and use correct verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Most want to see a diploma at the very least. They expect you to at least know how to spell and talk!!!
        You can’t expect to get a job making more than $10 an hour writing like that. You are certainly not talking to my customers with that grammar.
        I see resumes that embarrass me and most of the worst ones come from blacks.
        You think it doesn’t matter? You are dead wrong!!!

    • Because we are on the internet and dont have time to proof read something that aint paying no damn bills btch

  9. wanda serves the gay agenda.

    and as for gabby,porsha and whoever else not wearing clothes well whites love when black women play the jezebel sex role.

    which is why they only get cwertain roles.

    a shame to see b lacks complain about racism but love taking dick and taking their clothes ofgf for white men.

    but hey as long as they get paid right.

  10. GABRIEL IS WACK AS HELL, HER AN HER SWINGER HUSBAND THAT HAD A BREAK BABY ON HER DUMB ASS SHUT THE FUCK UP GABBY. YOU STUPID BITCH

    • One thing I’ve noticed about this broad is that she’s always “speaking ” on shit tryna make herself seem more important than she really is. Truth is home girl needs to tend to her own internal matters cause really she ain’t “official” as she thinks and nobody really gives a shit what she’s always thinking.

  11. listen those power hollywood jewish men love black p*ssy they love it. they love to tell you what is beauty and what isn’t. hollywood loves to play this game with you most of these beauitful black women are whores the casting couch and ghetto gaggers they all been down that road. oif

    • i meant powerful lol if hollywood is racist why not leave it? lee daniels and tyler perry aren’t complaning because they fit a agenda for right now… until they get tired of them. look at hailie berry man these jewish run through this women so bad. white holly wood doesn’t run like black hollywood.

  12. My list of top five worst black actresses:

    1. Traci Bingham
    2. Stacey Dash
    3. Garcelle Beauvais
    4. Meagan Good
    5. Gabrielle Union

  13. A good way to tell when a actress can’t act is when she plays the same role in every single movie!

    • chile shut up. if there are only 2 black men making movies how can black actresses be choosy? tyler perry was a god send to black actresses and actors, believe those apples. shonda rhymes, lee daniels, tyler perry (all gay blacks) are the only black power players in the movie biz, even john singleton dont have pull no more

      • No you shut up “Chile” Tyler Perry is disgusting and those movies are an embarassment to black people

  14. when it comes to hollywood and black people, something has to give black people aren’t
    getting enough movie roles so they have to fight for just one role, they fighting against their race for one movie role

    have you notice their making cheesy crappy movies starring white people?
    no blacks in sight

    • Do you see a lot of Asians getting roles or Oscars?

      Any?????

      Numbers rule. In everything.

      • @Anonymous

        your right, there are no chinese people doing movie roles anymore
        they casted lucy lu as watson on elementary, but apart from the is non

        mostly white actors are doing kong fu or karate instead on asian people

        but now is all about the latino’s with devious maids

        • Knowing how Asians get down, they are most likely filming their own movies somewhere on this planet. I wish black people would do the same.

  15. Shut up with that wack ass argument you lame kunt, and like i said fnck you and your imaginary company too, go talk to a hood chick like that so you can get your head knocked off since your so brave on a computer

  16. Is she okay – I promise you I don’t watch anything with her in it – now she has this sitcom out after being out for so many years and she don’t think her role is that of a cooning female?

  17. Damn yall hating on Gabby bad. It’s ugly! Support eachother black people!!!! Im like REALLY PEOPLE??? She is not THAT bad! SMH at all of you. This is the problem with our race =(
