This isn't comedian Druski's first time going viral for his whiteface skits. Last time, he played a white man at a NASCAR event. This time? He went MAGA, and they can’t stand it.
In his most recent skit, "How Conservative Women in America Act,” he's dressed as a blonde-haired white woman that social media users associated with Erika Kirk, Turning Point USA’s CEO. Was he out of pocket?
Druksi never names Kirk directly, and the parody follows the format he's always used, using character impersonations in a satirical, social commentary style. Though rumors swirled about Kirk sending a cease-and-desist, Druski's team confirmed that wasn't true. Upset white conservative politicians clutched their pearls on social media, and Trump encouraged Kirk to sue Druski.
Humor undermines authority, respectability, and the status quo that expects us to accept anti-Black people and policies as "just the way things are."
Druski's comedic genius reminds us that our creativity is a powerful tool we've always used to survive and thrive, especially in an anti-Black world.
