much like Downey, and the Mr. T costume, I don't see the problem. There was no exaggerated mockery of characteristics. There was in the Serena Williams costume (Serena is also a real person, no need to exaggerate her ass, and hair, that's mocking).

Nick Canon imo isn't being racist painting himself white, he's not reinforcing any negative stereotype. He's just playing a white dude.

Shocking that a white person finds nothing wrong with racist caricatures....

Pretty sure they were pissed off about Nick Cannon. Didn't he also get boo'd at the MSG?

Im not a hypocrite, like most, I didn't find his costume offensive. The same reason I didn't find his offensive is the same reason I didn't find the Crazy Eyes costume offensive.

My understanding is that this was meant to be a positive portrayal. I still need to see this movie, but I can't get up the stomach for it yet. Kind of like with Birth of a Nation, except Birth was intentionally negative where The Jazz Singer would be like.. Eight Mile?

The Jazz Singer is more complicated than Birth of a Nation, which is the most openly racist that Hollywood has ever been. It's trying to get at something about Jewish identity and assimilation and it's using the blackface to this end. The movie's interesting in a museum way, you get to see the early beginning of sound in movies etc etc but other than that, I wouldn't make an effort to see it.
