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. If the intent is solely to play politics and ignore the story, then screw them all and cancel the performance.

I agree, seeing it performed with reversed roles would only make it that much more interesting to me. Makeup would be unnecessary though IMO

WHAT A CONCEPT.?.. White grease paint with blacks playing WHITES.. Doing the opposite is not PC.. but THIS.. Well THIS is just too brillient.. Consider the black caucus doing this on the floors of congress.. would be brillient.. and the WHITE caucus doing the opposite...

Nah! we don't HAVE a white caucus.. damn..
Would put the light on even HAVING a black caucus though..

Everybody is equal in the United States but, some, it seems are a little MORE equal than others.. And someone with one white parent and one black parent can and should have a face with both color grease paints.. The logic of it is genius..

NOW there would be a broadway play I could attend.. black, white, red, yellow, brown grease paint...
