    Well I tried. Someone getting all uppity because they can’t tell the difference what blackface was in the 1900’s to a 2008 comedy that was received pretty well by everyone.

      Lol you brought up tropic thunder as a justification, while I was talking about Jimmy Kimmels use of black face which was not received well. One doesn’t cancel out the other.

      Nobody was seriously offended by RDJ’s role, because it’s making fun of white washing during casting rather than a direct depiction of black face. This kind of context is important and clearly missed by most people who use this movie as a justification for racism… Why do you think Brandon Jackson’s character was upset about it the whole movie?

          You completely missed the point of that movie and tried to use it to justify blackface hahaha.

            With dumbass logic comparing rape and racism to pass as an argument and essentially saying I was ok with rape too, let me translate the otherwise polite “you do you” in a language you are accustomed to: Go fuck yourself.
