Malik Yoba is playing “god,” a fusion of Oprah and Obama in a play. The role requires him to wear lipstick and make up. Three black women rulling America in 2097 are searching for the last black man is the storyline. Sounds pretty “psychedelic” to me.

Some of Malik’s social media followers defended the actor, saying the makeup is for a Broadway acting role. But the majority of fans feel Malik’s role is another sad attempt to showcase the emasculation of black men in America.
