Wayne Brady Hurt By Paul Mooney
Wayne Brady is a softy. Hard to believe he is a comedian. He is a nice guy but dude, grow some balls. Dave is a standup dude. I had no idea this even went down between them but it shows he is a class act and I am even more of a fan of him now.
Nah I don’t agree….Wayne Brady was upset because people constantly said he was basically a soft ass Black dude but he really wasn’t like that. He has every right to feel like that. He gave the response a strong self-aware Black man should give.
I never thought of him as "soft" He always has a good vibe about him, I don't agree that he should've got a little in his feelings, he's from my generation I believe where we would do the dozens, rag on each other or stingin' contest...you had to have thick skin to joke with your friends.
besides it was a joke, nothing personal I'm sure.

This is how I see it as well. He basically told them to put some respect on his name and they obliged. We got an awesome sketch out of it as well.
There is nothing wrong with being a soft man, black or not. That is what I don't get. Like you can be a soft, kind, caring individual and that doesn't make you any less black. I feel like he is feeding into stereotypes. I get what you are saying but I feel differently about it. Maybe that is cause I am a female, I don't know.
Y'all cool with soft dudes all the way until its time to be rough and rugged and he folds like a handkerchief. Then you dont look at him the same.
I mean in terms of relations. Like if it comes down to it, he has to be able to protect himself and his family. I have known plenty of soft men who will throw down if they have to.
At the end of the day props to all them brothas. They took a sour situation and turned it into something iconic.
