Chimney Sweeps emerge from chimneys in blackface ...

[dogtag]

They're White when they go in, but Black when they come out.
So, there must be a racist make up artist in that chimney.

Seriously, how ridiculous is this ?

What ever happened to "Fu** You!"

Let's start yelling about skits in reverse such as Eddie Murphy's, "White like me". When they retort we can simply point out their own precedence. Who's the racist now?

FWIW, I thought the skit was hilarious. Matters none since humor has been demonized for the sake of being PC.

It use to be a common skit for comedians to play the part of a black person. Now, everything offends them, period.

Like hillary would say though, "what difference does it make now?". What a person did decades ago does not necessarily reflect on their beliefs or interest now but if it does then the following picture should be published more openly. Do any of you know if it is real? Even if that isn't the witch herself Bill seems to be endorsing it.

Yeah, isn't that odd? The governor of Virginia denied it was him in blackface, but they're still calling for his head. But that's Hillary in Blackface there, no question about it and no one says a word about her.

In 1970 Godfrey Cambridge starred in Watermelon Man-directed by Melvin Van Peebles-about a white man who wakes up one day and finds he has turned black. Peebles "suggested" a black actor play the role in whiteface.
If someone paints their face black to do a reenactment of a WWII Commando will that offend the PC crowd ?
Rather odd, I haven't heard of too many conservative politicians being accused of this.

[lyman]

wondering if some of these perpetually offended have ever read Ursula Le Quin's The Lathe of Heaven???

Just a tiny little problem with the pic... Hilliarly doesn't have brown eyes... Fake news isn't hard to recognize, common sense makes sense...

Not that it matters and it may not be her but there are numerous websites that claim she wears blue contacts. I don't know if you can cover brown with blue but she looks different in every picture (eyes). In any event Bill seems to be happy with the homemade Aunt Jemima.

Yeah, but is that really Billy? The chin looks different, he doesn't have a single cigar anywhere, and his eyes don't look blue either.

If the picture extended down a little more, you could see Monica on her knees.

[Allen]

and she could positively identify Bill.

The show Al Jolson, I guess it is not PC!
