I agree that SNL can use some female black castmembers. I mean, you can't just peg in Keenan Thompson in drag whenever a famous black role is required. SNL has also had to ask Maya Rudolph to come back when they needed somebody to play Michelle Obama. When Tracy Morgan hosted last year, they had him play Sherri Sheppard in the View sketch. And during the election season last year, they got Queen Latifiah to play Gwen Ifill in the Vice Presidential debate sketch. However, I disagree with the notion that that's it's automatically or immediately insulting whenever a man goes into drag to play a famous person. I mean, Fred Armisen plays Joy Behar in that afordmentioned View sketch. So by virtue of that, I suppose Leslie Gray Streeter considers any skit involving a man dressing up in drag to play a famous person is "insulting".

Dear "SNL": Until you hire black women, stop featuring them in sketches! (http://www.pbpulse.com/music/2009/11/08/dear-saturday-night-live-some-positives-and-not/)
"Keenan Thompson in a dress is old," says Leslie Gray Streeter. "And it’s insulting. Whoopi Goldberg and Jennifer Hudson don’t look like men. If women of color are prominent enough to be parodied, they’re prominent enough to be employed. On a related note – I noticed that in 'The View' sketch, Sherri Sheppard was supposedly away. Is that because you ran out of black men to put in dresses?"
