I feel so gaslit when I see how common Blackface was even like ten, twenty years ago. Like I was alive then, and I'm pretty sure even my conservative parents told me blackface was insanely offensive.
I think it's somewhat justifiable when it's meant to somehow make fun of racism or point out how insane a character is, but it's fucking wild when in the 21st century you put someone in blackface to parody a black person.
Yeah I don't mean so much having a fictional character do blackface where it's portrayed as offesnvie and racist in the fiction so much as just... doing blackface.
That's why I think RDJ in Tropic Thunder is fine. The joke is clearly about how offensive and inappropriate blackface is.
When will Leonardo Dicaprio denounce the horrific comments he made in Django Unchained
Unjerk: Tarantino writing a part for himself to play in Pulp Fiction where he just says the n word a bunch is still pretty sus
Keeping Fred Armisen as Obama even when Jay Pharoah was on the cast was ridiculous
fucking donald glover auditioned for the role and they chose armisen over him
I'm sure someone will provide a counterpoint but I've never found Armisen funny. I'm sure he has talent, but the way he's utilised is just 'he has weird face/voice' and will give awkward answers silences.
Him and Kristin Wiig I find unfunny on an existential level. Like, it makes me angry at the universe that these completely unfunny people have managed to make very successful careers out of doing "comedy."
where he showed up with Venezuelan military officers as the one in charge?
I loved the sketch where he was a Brit Punk rocker who loved Margaret Thatcher
So disgusting. I saw Bill Maher flip out about the Academy Awards' decision for some diversity guidelines and he was dribbling about meritocracy and shit. Then you compare it to this who almost have to be wrestled out of sticking with half assed gags.
liberal "meritocracy" assumes everyone has the same abilities and opportunities. fetishization of "hard work" or "honest work" is a fuck. labor isn't some sacred holy act, it's what people do so as to not starve to death.
He did! In an interview with Tom Cotton, where Cotton urged Maher to "come join him in the fields", Maher quipped that he was a house n-word.
It does sound like a bit, doesn't it? But no, it was a legitimate conversation between Tom Cotton and Hard-R Maher.
Turns out he did but it was actually with bill sasse unless he did it more than once. Also doesn’t really sound like a hard r not that it really matters
Oh you're right. I was so certain it was with Tom Cotton. Weird. Sorry about the misinformation.
So only a black person can play a black person? That's reverse inside out racism!!
How do you/your friend feel about the show? I can probably guess how since the producers don’t care about a sizable population of the town. But even in addition to that, the show seems mean-spirited at times given some of their portrayals.
