The is all true.........The problem was (as it is often with satire) is that most people didn't get the joke. The best evidence of this is the fact that he actually got an Oscar nomination for the role.

I say this all of the time. It's such a shame too, because they really miss out on a lot.

 

[nieman]

People in here defending blackface because it was "comedy" and "satire"... Was blackface not "comedy" and "satire" before?

Do you understand the concept or origins of blackface?

 

[nieman]

Noooo they weren't lol. Minstrel shows were done specifically to demean and stereotype black people. They were meant to enforce what people thought of us and have everyone point and laugh. There was no one there saying "timeout this is wrong" and pointing that out while it was happening

And this is why satire completely goes over the heads of most people.

You're a simple minded fukk that lacks reading comprehension.

I didn't say I had a problem with his performance, I'm saying most people who like and dislike the performance didn't get the joke.

The people who dislike it think it's straight up blackface.

The people who nominated him for an Oscar were on some "He did such a good job playing a black guy" shyt and played directly into the joke.

Calling other people "sensitive" when you over there with so man tears in your eyes from crying you can't actually read my post
