How about...That Silver Streak scene when Gene Wilder had to disguise himself as a black man

From the comments:
"Before we turned into the soviet union I remember watching this multiple times as a kid and laughing my ass off. Personally, I like blackface, it can be really funny."

I remember watching this, too, as a kid. It was on TV all the time in the 1980s.

I think the guy in Florida (Sec of State?) who resigned should demand his job back.

Sorry. I think they were referring to a photo of a nude Hillary bending over to pick up something.

Better luck next time.

“Whereas Herring owned it. So Herring should lead the way...”

Actually, and this is hilarious, Herring admitted to wearing “BROWN MAKEUP” , but was still sorry.

You just can’t make this kind of stuff up!

Wearing blackface is equivalent to Hillary speaking in her phony black cadence. Same for Gore and many other democrat politicians. They are trying talk to them like they think minorities speak.
It's racist and they are as insulting as wearing blackface. Maybe more so, because they are not trying to be funny, they are serious.
