Knipp also does radio vocal impersonations of Barbara Jordan, H. Ross Perot, U.S. Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, George Bush, and Bill Clinton. He is known for radio advertisements in Southeast Texas. There have been protests against his performances.

Knipp retired from live performances in 2010 and now is a volunteer Registered Nurse with the American Red Cross.


Support


Knipp concedes that his performances should make people uncomfortable because "we all are used to treating African Americans as if their skin colour is a disease" and that black people are "more than intelligent enough to discern the nuance" of his performances. He has also said that "many people thought that Harriet Beecher-Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was and still is perceived as racist, despite being the probable artistic genesis of emotional support against slavery in the 19th century."


Criticism


There have been a number of articles in the media that have taken issue with Knipp and the character.
