who in the world is that? even after looking at her IMDB profile still wondering that
Cyber_Tronian:
Ive seen her in a few Martin Lawrence movies, look for comedy from this one.
Dropshot:
Yeah, we have no idea who she is. Making comedy with Martin Lawrence? I don't like that at all.
chrizgrv:
She is funny. She is usually a sassy stereotype.
Blackimus Prime:
Whitley's been acting for awhile now.But it's hard to concentrate on her
acting since she always havingher boobs popping out of her tops
all the time.
NGW:
So she's been in a bunch of...crap?
Meh...whatever.

..............
Oh, she's a comedian/actress... that's... right...
Velcrohead:
Can't wait to see what she does on-screen...good to see that some of the smaller details are coming out. I'm so psyched to see this movie.
In before people lose their shit about humans in the movie a la Bernie Mac last time...
Beastbot X:
She's gotta be playing Epps' wife.
Cinemastique:
Does this mean we can expect a lot more slapstickish, pseudo-racial humor? Didn't do it for me in the first movie.
Wingspanky:
She is not an A list mainstream actress by no means. Her cleavage always shines through. I met her in the mall once she is really nice. She gives warm hugs Simian: Quote:

This thread is also lacking in the usual moronic "More dumb humans?!?! There won't be any robots in this movie!!!" type post.
DJW107PRIME:
Call me crazy but I think she's hot.

Who? Who is this?
Deceptijeff:
She's pretty dang funny IMO. She's been in alot of funny movies. A pretty positive individual too. Ill def be checking in.
Poho:
this is exactly what TF2 needs. an obnoxious female "comedian" whose filmography is about as impressive as a car with four wheels.
and of course, since i am racist, i only assume she is obnoxious because of the color of her skin. obviously.

Wasn't she in that 1990s Sitcom, Sister, Sister or was that some other actress?
giga-galvatron:
Kym Whitely is a great actress! Yall never seen Next Friday? Yall never seen Martin? Yall never seen Curb Your Enthusiaism?(msp) And believe me, I would give her the business ya dig?
Deceptijeff:
The woman on the show Sister Sister was Jackee(sp?), but yeah she does bear a slight resemblance. Either way I wonder where she plays into the movie.

ToddJumper:
Who cares if shes in the film. Maybe soundwave will step on her, now that would be funny.
Darkwing48:
Why you guys are so cruel when an small role playing older, black woman gets casted but instead, you laud when a new young white girl is casted.
Do I detect a sense of discrimination in TFW? This is the last place I'll expect something like that.
I guess you think the Transformers series is better with an all white cast.

Seriously, read through the past three pages - you've got people sarcastically eye-rolling at the potential "MORE HUMANS!?" gripes that will show up in this thread, people complaining about Michael Bay and people saying that this actress is hot, but she is/isn't as funny as they'd like.
You're looking for racism where it pretty much doesn't exist.

Doesn't mean that she will appear as much as the Sector 7 sidekick guy. Anyways with the "Jazz" ordeal, Anthony Anderson's role, and I heard gripes about Sari before Animated started. (I'm glad that they added someone with a different characteristics to the main human character group throughout the shows) It just built up indirectly due to more negative comments hear in these/those characters, and I let it out here by accident. Yes to No more humans, but it is a battle on Earth, and we should see small roles to human characters. I apologize if anyone offended.

I apologize if anyone offended. | My comment was based on racially-stereotyped humor of the type typically reserved for UPN's Blacksploitation block.
In my mind, nothing's more racist than white people in Hollywood saying,
"Let's put this line in where the black guy says 'My gramamma don' like NOBODY steppin on her carpet, especially da PO-lice!' Black people like that sort of thing, because they all live with grandmothers who have plastic on the furniture and don't like cops, right? Right?"
Rediculous.
Against his typecast, Bernie Mac was in a role in the first movie where he was just funny. Not funny because he was black, or because he played to stereotypes, but because he was a good comic actor in a funny role. Unfortunately, every African-American actor in the whole movie after that did "black jokes," and yes, I find that minorly offensive and majorly annoying.

...but the scripts that become Michael Bay films are usually all about archetype and the fact that he "wrote" this script isn't very promising either.
Expect plenty of archetypal "Get yo' blackass ovuh heyuh!" garbage in the sequel, whether it's from Witley or not. Beastbot X: Quote:

Rediculous. | Oh, give me a break. Are we really THAT PC now as a society? I bet you wouldn't think twice if Anthony Anderson's role were played by a white guy. Apparently only white people can be any archetypes now, because if anyone else is one the writer must think that everyone of their race is like that too, right? Plenty of black guys DO fit the "black dude stereotype" perfectly, y'know.

I am not a fan of her acting or her attitude period. I could care less if she was siamese, persion or himalayan, oh wait those are cats. Sorry, I'm a dog person.
It would be even funnier if Galvatron showed up, heard her make a bad joke about big robots messing up her lawn, and then he replies with.. "This is bad comedy.. squish."
