The lesson here is…..

Don’t wear makeup.

Today I'm announcing my candidacy for Governor of Virginia.

Snowflakes were traumatized.

Cook told The Daily she quickly realized something seemed strange, and upon further inspection, noticed the onscreen actor Laurence Olivier was in blackface. Someone on a movie screen offended this idiot...

I hope professor Sheng's class never sees the movies Soul Man or Trading Places.

They would be even more triggered...

What nonsense. The only thing resist here is the notion that a white guy cannot play a black character.

Here is the great tenor, Placido Domingo, playing the same role in opera.

I watched The Jazz Singer last night (the one with Neil Diamond). The "warnings" at the start to explain the PG rating were drinking, smoking, violence (that must have been the bar room brawl scene), sex (two people with naked shoulders), and...BLACKFACE!

Of course it was Jess's black friends who made him pretend to be black at an all black club. It was a funny scene. Good movie.

If the leftists didn't have double standards, they'd have no standards at all!

Fortunately for those oh so vulnerable & weak students, nothing really bad happens in their city/state - how would they deal with assault/rape/murder right outside their doors?

Why is Whoopi still on The View, especially since it was her idea for Ted to appear in blackface?

[Chode]

is that the Julia?

[Flash Bazbeaux]

That’s not ‘black face”. Al Jolson was black face.

[fireman15]

He could have gotten away with a film featuring Micky Rooney as an Asian because that is a lot more appealing!

Or how about that comic genius Jerry Lewis.

[GreenHornet]

Yeah, but he could still become Governor of Virginia if he wanted.

[ViLaLuz]

Men can pretend to be women and even animals, but pretending to be black is forbidden, unless you’re a leftist race hustler like Talcum X, Kamala Harris or Rachael Dolejal.

[TexasKamaAina]

This brings to mind another Shakespeare play: Much Ado About Nothing.

[Blennos]

“I was stunned,” Cook said. “In such a school that preaches diversity and making sure that they understand the history of POC (people of color) in America, I was shocked that (Sheng) would show something like this in something that’s supposed to be a safe space.”

Can this dumbed-down generation get any more idiotic?

[Yo-Yo]

is that the Julia?

Maybe...
