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. Blackface not as satire  Blackface as satire  And the reason there is no history of whiteface among African American entertainers is because the first black person to be caught in whiteface would have wound up in deadface. Although in the case of Tropic Thunder the satire always aimed at a white actor. That said, satire is usually about punching up instead of punching down and blackface is burdened by a history of really punching the fuck down.
