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.

I suppose childish mockery is a form of satire.

And the last time I checked the Wayans Brothers are still alive. Point being, we don't live in the world of Jim Crow anymore.
