NOTE FROM PAM:I can't believe this guy Charles Knipp, who performs in blackface as Shirley Q. Liquor, an "inarticulate black welfare mother with 19 children," has an audience. We've covered this horrorshow before. Knipp has the right to perform of course; but he just can't expect a supportive environment as he reinforces negative stereotypes of black women in order to make a living.
