Dear Sherri Shepherd,
You might think we’re your friends but until you drop the condescending attitude about our equality — about which you, a woman of colour, should really, really know better — we are so not your friends.
Friends don’t let friends be bigots.
Friends don’t let friends spout ridiculous lies like you did on today’s The View.
Friends don’t let friends denigrate an aspect of themselves which they did not choose simply because your religion, WHICH YOU DID CHOOSE AND CONTINUE TO CHOOSE, tells you to.
So shut the fuck up.
Love,
The UnstupidPS: Fuck off.

OMG we are so on the same page with this. I thought the same thing and have been formulating an Open Letter To Sherri to post as well. All the points I want to make have been swirling around in my mind and now you’ve beat me to it. I’ll still write it and sent it to her sorry ass at her email at The View.
You know, I’m totally okay with Sherri being stupid. I’m fine with that, some of my closest friends are stupid. REALLY. I just happen to think it’s wrong for someone so stupid to be on TV. I’m sorry, it’s just the way I was raised, it’s what I was taught in church down in Texas and I have to say I believe it’s wrong. It’s in the bible, you know, the bible says that people who are stupid like that really are sinners. I realize not everyone accepts my interpretation of this in scriptures, but there are plenty of folks who do. I don’t hate Sherri for her inherent stupidity, it’s really not her fault. But the fact that she persists in practicing her stupidity and repeatedly feels the need to openly display her stupidity on TV makes me rather uncomfortable. It’s just so immoral. I don’t want my children exposed to that kind of stupidity on TV, where she persists in presenting her flagrant stupidity as something that is normal. This is why I, as a Californian, feel the need to initiate Prop S(tupidity), which will re-write the state constitution to make it illegal for people like Sherri to appear in the media while being so blatantly stupid. I’m sure Sherri’s a lovely person and a good citizen, I just don’t think it’s right for her to be so outrageously, flamboyantly stupid. I realize some of you will call me a bigot for this; well, if following my faith, which teaches me that someone like Sherri (who is clearly off-the-charts stupid) is sinfully stupid, then I guess I’m a bigot.
I’m going to make it a policy to punch people who say “also, too” just on principle. In the mouth, ideally before another stupid stupid thing comes out of it.
Sherri makes me so tired. I just want to lay down and sleep for about sixteen days, she makes me so tired. Whoopi is embarrassed that Sherri exists. As a Black woman, I am embarrassed that Sherri exists. She actually believes that her church pastor will be arrested for saying homosexuality is a sin. Churches say a lot of things are sinful and the smart people ignore it. They don’t even want me to drink! How can I take that foolishness seriously. If only Sherri could be arrested for saying stupid things.
Vote yes on prop S.
You are so correct on this. I laugh when these people use an example of what happened in some other country under that country’s laws. The also keep pointing out that there is a separation of church and state and we are not looking to rule this country or state based on a church’s beliefs.
Yes on “S”!
[...] couple of days ago I posted a video of the staggeringly stupid, Christian, African-American personality, Sherri Shepherd, so it’s only right, I think, to present this inspiring and enlightening discussion between [...]
I sign my name in blood to your letter, but just want to add one thing: even if people did, or do, choose their sexual identities and behaviour, Prop S(herri) and the religion-lobotomized faction she represents can STILL shut up about it. Oooh it makes me so mad. If people want to lead lives dictated by magical thinking, fine– but to legislate other people’s emotional and financial and parental lives based on a fantasy book? In late 2008? Really?! Vote yes on Prop S!
