While talking to GlobalGrind, Marlon explains his view on this phenomenon and his tricky career, in addition to why Black women no longer have to cook and clean!
His new movie A Haunted House features a joke about how African American women don’t clean. So of course we had to ask Marlon to explain…Check it out below.
“All black women know they don’t like cleaning. They know that. No, I’m joking. All the years of slavery, they did their cleaning. They don’t have to clean no more. Let somebody else clean.
I don’t get any backlash from the black community because I’m an equal opportunity offender. The things that I do aren’t meant to be offensive. At the end of the day, Malcolm (Marlon’s Haunted House character) loves his black woman, and he’s willing to fight through demons and all kinds of junk to just be with her. It hit the truth of the matter and it’s not true about everybody. When you do a joke, it’s not about everybody; that particular black woman did not like to clean. It may be true about several black women … or not.”
Marlon just reminds us…it’s all in good fun.
