h, Charles Knipp, is a self-described 45-year-old, fat, gay white man and his alter ego character Shirley Q. Liquor is described as “a welfare mother with nineteen kids (Cheeto, Orangello, Chlamydia, and Kmartina...) who guzzles malt liquor, and drives a Caddy.”There were Knipp-Roach sightings in 2002 and again in 2005.
However, recently, this particular roach attacked activist blogger, Jasmyne Cannick (BBR #53) by calling her the B-word, H-word and N-word. Even worse, this big white roach published Cannick's personal phone number on the Internet subjecting her to death threats from other roaches. The Knipp-roach even had nerve to superimpose Sis. Cannick's face onto the body of porn star Norma Stitz, and then post it on his website.

illagers, we need a powerful hunting party. The devious Knipp-Roach disguises himself in full blackface in order to perform at various clubs around the nation. At least this once, it is not Black folks spending our own money to denigrate and degrade our community by selling out his shows from city to city. This time it is white America that keeps Shirley Q. Liquor alive.From nightclubs to pride celebrations, this roach and his booking agent survive because the white community continues to take pleasure in the degradation of the Black female, further proving that race is still an issue in America. The Knipp-Roach likes to justify his routine by saying that his character is a tribute to the good Southern women he grew up around.
Somebody remind this roach that proud Black women do not name their kids after venereal diseases. Somebody remind this roach that it is simply wrong to make a living by mocking poverty in the Black community. Somebody remind this roach that our community no longer tolerates abuse of our Black women for the sake of entertainment.
Villagers, the Knipp-Roach is supported by his booking agents at Diva Central (7510 W. Sunset Blvd, Suite 1445; Los Angeles CA 90046). You can reach out directly to Diva Central by phone (323.864-1933) or email (divasanddjs@aol.com) if you want to join us in expressing our disgust and protest over the racist Charles Knipp show.
In addition, I encourage you to reach out to other clients of Diva Central to express your disgust and disappointment in their silence. The agency lists other clients such as: Thelma Houston, Sweet Baby Jai, Freda Payne, Kimberly Locke, Paris Bennett, Frenchie Davis, Cee Cee Penniston, Evelyn "Champagne" King, Ultra Nate, Crystal Waters and Jody Watley.
Any thoughts on how to reach these clients to get them to publically rebuke Diva Central and Charles 'White Roach' Knipp?
The strategy for our hunting party is simple. Shine the light on roaches and they scatter to the four corners of the earth. Charles 'White Roach' Knipp has been operating in the dark.
It is time for the online community to come out in force to express our displeasure at his disrespect of our mothers, sisters, wives, daughters and nieces.
We've done it before. Time to rise up together again. What say u?
