Tina Fey's Race Issues Stretch Beyond '30 Rock's Blackface Eps

Tina Fey is to many a progressive icon, but that hasn't shielded her from criticism after asking NBC to pull episodes of her signature hit show, 30 Rock which features blackface.... On the surface, it seems like an appropriate move, but as many are pointing out online, four episodes featuring blackface are hardly the only instances of racism or "race-changing makeup" as Fey put it, within her works.... If Tina Fey removes those four episodes, then what is to be said about all the episodes she doesn't remove which also feature appropriation? It's a hard question to answer, but Tina Fey is probably better off trying because for many people this is just her running from the problem she appears to repeatedly create.

Wow, if I had ever watched that show I would have been offended.

Anybody remember SNL’s “funny” skits with Al Franken(stein) playing a guy with brain damage?

Or Gilda Radner’s “hilarious” mocking of Baba Wawa?

The problem with progressives is their hypocrisy.

She's one of the few lib broads women whose looks have not yet been affected by the hate inside.

I just remembered that "broads" is now out of favor; disrespectful.

If it destroys all vestiges of White Liberalism then it will be a good thing.

As conservatives, we may be pleased to see revolutions eat their own. But remember, they eat us first.

Unfunny witch.

Good.

Cannibalism is great to see, especially from Delta Bravo’s like her and her ilk who think their virtue signalling protects them from those they wish to appease.

True...they try. But when the can’t sate their appetites, they go for other easy targets.

This is different....for years people like her and Jimmy Kimmel celebrated conservatives being chastised for there political views and lack of “wokeness” now it’s very pleasing to see them held to their own standards!!!
