Not that I care much about about Patti LaBelle but watching someone from Kansas City get publicly humiliated is always fun.
From the looks of it, it seems that LaBelle overreacted a bit to the guy rubbing his junk on her and then saying "You wanted it!" over a microphone. Strangely, that's pretty much my standard pick-up move whenever I go into a Westport club and most (all) women find it irresistible. But maybe that's just because I'm incredibly attractive and I can bench press a Toyota Truck. Your mileage may vary. It's also common knowledge that I'm as adorable as a newborn kitten or at least that's what I hear when I place unwanted felines in loving homes during my spare time.
Still . . . If you ask me, LaBelle seems like somewhat of a diva here (which makes sense since she is, in fact, a diva) when she belts out: "How dare you!" and"You Disrespect a Black Woman like that?" "Do you know who you're talking to?" at the poor guy who instantly retreats into the shadows. It's all well and good for her to act this way since she's a musical legend but somehow I'm pretty sure this incident is going to translate into shitty "intercultural relations" at Gates, my grocery store and whatever Black woman you're afraid of at your place of business.
Luckily, if you watch till the end of the clip there' a bit of cheesy reconciliation that's right out of a disco ballad.
UPDATE: I don't know if this is true but it's interesting as Hell. Anyway, this turned up in the comments and I think deserves a little bit of extra attention:
Not to mention the fact that the kid, DaRon McGee, works for John Sharp and embarrased the city and the event's organizers. Plus, the kid is a total asshole. He's rude and arrogant to everyone. I live in the 6th and anytime I call Sharp's office, Sharp himself is quite good about taking action, but McGee is rude and worthless.
Haha. Funnies TKC post in a while. I've never met a black woman in any work setting that was a "persecuted minority." Seems to me they go around persecuting the entire office cowering in fear. Oh, no he di-ent. Whoooo Girl!!!!!!
ReplyDeletehilarious
ReplyDeleteThat was funny and then just uncomfortable.
ReplyDeleteshe is a total racist!! She must be white on the inside
ReplyDeletei'd hit it
ReplyDeleteIt should be noted that people paid $200 to be lectured by the person who wrote Lady Marmelade.
ReplyDeleteIf you invite people to come and dance on stage (and there was just a LADY MARMELADE rerecord out a few years ago with a music video involving strippers IIRC) you can't really complain when people come up and dance like the people in the Lady Marmelade video with you.
Somebody must have been working on her LAST nerve. MMMmmmmm-child.
ReplyDeleteThe kid was WAY out of line. Where does some 20 year old kid get off telling a 60+ year old woman that she wants to have sex with him, all evidence to the contrary? That's just plain disrespectful and good for LaBelle for standing up for herself. I've seen guys get slapped in bars for making similar comments, and they deserved it. Not to mention the fact that the kid, DaRon McGee, works for John Sharp and embarrased the city and the event's organizers. Plus, the kid is a total asshole. He's rude and arrogant to everyone. I live in the 6th and anytime I call Sharp's office, Sharp himself is quite good about taking action, but McGee is rude and worthless. My neighbors have had similar encounters where he talks down to them and acts like he's God's gift.
ReplyDeleteYou must be really really stupid. I know that kid pretty good and he is alright. He was just joking around okay and yes it was a big embarrassment for him he didn't know she was going to bitch at him like that. He hid in the bathroom the rest of the whole evening. She needs to learn some manners. If I was there with him I would of given her a piece of my mind because she has really messed things up for him. He was just joking around for heavens sake he is still a kid.
