Black-faced skits are funny as well. No need for people to apologize for anything they did 50 years ago. How long before democrats call Al Jolson a racist?

Or Mickey Rooney, or Judy Garland (or Carroll O'Connor, or Hugh Laurie [twice]).

One of my all time favorites Al Jolson was attacked by the little (in all ways) Spike Lee in his movie Bamboozled.

The promotional BS sessions on TV pushed the anti-white narrative of our supposedly never great nation and its allegedly worthless Founders and current white supremacist average white people.

His later movies all had huge casts of black people and Jolson actively promoted rights for black actors and ate alongside them and got them jobs in other movies. He was opposed by the execs for that. At the time blackface was not considered bad (and Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra wore blackface as seen in old stills).

Someday they will say the pre year 2090 movies should be banned for showing smoking and people married as one man and woman defined as a marriage.
