I don't see the problem. If a black actor can play Huck convincingly, let him put on heavy white greasepaint. If a white actor can do a convincing Jim, let him put on a thick coat of blackface greasepaint.

Oh, boy!!!

....Er....Ummm.....I mean "Oh, person!!!".

You must have slept through your Politically Correct classes. :-)

I always figure that what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

Look forward to PhD programs in "Step'n Fetch It" studies.

In the 'radical' sixties Step was considered a handkerchief head and Black activists spared no insult about his career even though he was a brilliant caricaturist of the lazy Black stereotype and one of the first Black movie stars when blacks had few or no speaking parts.

Today the left would celebrate him as a revolutionary hero if they weren't so lazy themselves.

And don't even get me going on Rochester.
