......The two-minute clip shows Hanks hosting the castaway-themed auction in a room decorated to look like a jungle at the £18,000-a-year St Matthews Parish School in Pacific Palisades, California.
As the blacked-up man takes the stage, Hanks quips that the Right-wing US commentator Bill OReilly, who has himself often been accused of racial insensitivity, has arrived.......
..........Hanks, who starred in the 2000 Hollywood film Castaway, recently narrated a 17-minute campaign video calling for President Barack Obamas re-election.
In response to the auction video, Niger Innis, of the Congress of Racial Equality, said: I call upon President Obama, who has Tom Hanks doing the narration to his campaign video, to cease, to remove Mr Hanks voice-over from his video, and end any association or affiliation with Mr Hanks,
It is gross, its coarse, and it is shocking that something like this would be done in California. Not Mississippi in California.

Is this a Catholic grammar school?? If so (and I know that some use saints in their name and they aren’t necessarily Catholic), how far those schools have fallen since I attended.
None of the “jokes” are remotely funny. The nasty libs even say crude words.
Racist by their own definition. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with blackface, per se. Whites did it, blacks did it, it was a theatrical device. But by all means let them be hoist on their own petards!
With Obama adopting Trayvon as his child, I highly doubt this is an accident by Hanks.
What Hanks has been tasked with is shoving the double standard into everyone's face. It's a way of promising that anyone who jumps onto the Zimmerman race-baiting bandwagon will be protected, no matter what.
And it's also a way to use cognitive dissonance to destroy people's ability to determine was the racism standards are on their own, because they don't make sense anymore. Hanks makes an outright racist comment and it's irrelevent, while Zimmerman fights for his life and he's a racist.
The common liberal is programmed to interpret such blatant cognitive dissonance as a strict warning not to think about a particular issue, but to simply keep their heads down and follow the meme they are given - or else.
To interpret the Left, you MUST remember that liberals are punished for independent thinking. They MUST be instructed, and their instructions come in an easily understood (0f obvious necessity) code based on their fear of disobeying the group.
Liberals have surrendered their humanity to their Leftist masters for the promise of non-responsibility for their lives. Spiritually speaking, NOTHING is lower than a liberal. So everything they do MUST be a conspiracy, because that's their deal with the devil - that's WHY they're a liberal in the first place.
LOL! Excellent analogy!
...another day in Obamaland....
They ARE racists, no question.
But, as everyone knows by now, when they're "caught," they get a pass due to all the good they've done. They've earned the privilege of having a little harmless fun.
Funny, or maybe not not, I have heard more than one person compare Tom Hanks to Jimmy Stewart.
Ugh. I’d like to think Stewart wasn’t such a leftist...
I’d think of John Cusack more like Jimmy Stewart...
I heard Tom Hanks was “Bosom Buddies” with the blackface man!
Tom Hanks wanted to be involved in politics . . . now he is.
There are another offensive line that very few people caught.
Co-host Glen Frey of Eagle fame said the following:
This is as close to diversity as well get at St Matthews.
The auction was held at St Matthews church school in Pacific Palisades, so I guess the implication is that the residents of Pacific Palisades, as WELL AS THE CHURCH THEY ARE HOLDING THE AUTION IN, is a bastion or racist insensitivity.
Hanks is a leader among the largest collection of 1%ers mankind has ever seen: Hollywood Media.
If a video tape of Hanks cutting puppies in half with a chainsaw were to be found on you tube- PETA would adore him.
