Blackface

[Joe Roscoe]

I wonder if people who found Blackface offensive would be considered SJWs

Back in the day when everyone was lapping up that shit? Yeah, probably.

[da PAC Nigguh]

Yes, and far worse now than ever.

In fact I doubt a film like Tropic Thunder would even be made today.

[Kugelfisch]

I doubt RDJ would take up that role anymore. It would interfere with his virtue signaling.

It's pretty ridiculous how far we've taken the admonishment of blackface.
Any time a white person wears brown-looking makeup, even someone dressing up for Halloween, it is labeled racist.

That seems to me to be totally different from the literal blackface minstrel shows a century ago, where those guys really were mocking blacks.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Has there ever been a blaxploitation film with whiteface? That'd sound like an appropriate countermeasure.

[Kugelfisch]

Not exactly blaxsploitation but there was White Chicks or whatever that movies name is.

And there have been sketched where they have done it too. I think Dave Chappel did it and I remember some Nelly video from way back that did it too.

Shame people are sensitive now, Aussie comedian Chris Lilley has shows where he plays a lot of characters, including an Asian guy and multiple women, teenage boys, a high school chick which he was most famous for and one time he played a black guy. I was worried at first but the thing with him is that he can pull it off and I eventually ignored it. If he did that now, the show would be thrown off the air.

And that show was in 2011 (Angry Boys). With Trump and nationalism in vogue though, times are changing.

I actually think it's hilarious when someone who isn't white dresses up like a white person and makes fun of me and all of my white friends. Never understood why people get so mad. It's the content they're presenting that they need to be paying attention to.

Old black face where they just mocked blacks? Yeah. Okay, I get it. That's bad. I don't like it either.
Black face in this day and age where you just have someone who isn't black making jokes to poke fun at stereotypes that blacks are known for, but without the intention of just, "nigs r dum nah mean, homie?" Get over it.

Looking at actual blackface just makes the comparison even more ludicrous between legit blackface and the dumb shit people get buttblasted about nowadays. "Oh, somebody wore some makeup that made their skin look a bit darker for their halloween costume, let's get them fired from their job for being racist!" as opposed to real blackface, and shitting on black people in general by always writing their characters (in movies) to be sub-single-digit-IQ actual retards fit only to be slaves for the superior race. Those Charlie Chan movies had some pretty hilarious(ly offensive if you are black) examples of "yes massa" shitting on black people.
