Dude, what self righteous bullcrap.
You're making an ad hominem judgment over a disagreement on philosophy of action.
Are you implying I'm racist because I don't think any form of entertainment should be taboo?
I'll put my beliefs on racial issues up against anyone here. I think I'm the only white man here who supports slavery reparations. I support affirmative action for African-Americans only. No, I wouldn't give white women the benefit of AA. So just how does my lack of concern over blackface make me an asshole?
Sorry, I don't believe any group is immune from satire. And I don't care if some middle class black or any black gets offended.
What I see as more pernicious is how blacks are portrayed as criminals, gays as silly effeminate nice guys, and Latinos as kitchen help. Satire in blackface is harmless.
Satirizing blackface and satirizing black people while in blackface are two different things. I said "satire in blackface", meaning using blackface to satirize black culture. Everyone's fair game, it's protected by free speech, and it should not be taboo. Everyone can be satirized except black people? Nonsense.
