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.
I can give you countless examples of "gayface" from Will & Grace to Modern Family. It's the only portrayal of gay males in media. And don't get me started on the objectification of lesbians for straight male titillation. That's very different than "blackface". "Blackface" is an obvious lampoon.
"Gayface" is so ingrained in our homophobic culture that even gays and liberals welcome it as liberation. It's very different.
All what's happening here is that liberals like you can feel good while you laugh at stereotypes of black men as criminals and gays as buffoons because you rail against some silly theatrical gimmick called "blackface".
You're an asshole.
