Stepin Fetchit

That's what you're used to.

That's like, uh, in the '40s, there was a, a Black actor named Stepin Fetchit, made a fortune.

He made believe he was a servile, weak Black.

So the American people loved him because that's what they wanted, a stereotype of a weak Black.

We know Blacks are opposite of that, but he played, "Yes, coming boss.

Yeah, man." You know, like whatever they, "Yes, coming boss," Stepin Fetchit.

Look him up.

Stepin Fetchit.

Here's a really good one though.

Go look at how many NIL deals Lincoln Perry had last year.

I made fun of him before the season that he looked a little doughy face.

And I was like, I think he's looking more like a spokesperson for the university than an actual player.

Unfortunately, he got on the wrong plane at 55, and that was all she wrote.

Some of his movies, he was a, a John Ford actor, actually, are still watchable, although characters like Stepin Fetchit show up in them, and that's awkward at best.

Bill Nye was not the science guy, but an earlier Bill Nye, a late 19th century humorist.

I don't imagine he's read at all today, but sometimes you will see his work show up in anthologies of humorous writing.
