Two black dudes dressed up as white women acting like stereotypical valley girl bimbos not racist? Hate to be that guy but what if it were two white men dressed up as black women acting like hoodrats? Is it still not racist? :francis: Its a parody movie but it's still racist at the end of the day, but like I said, I couldn't give a lesser fukk

Produced by Revolution Studios and distributed by Columbia Pictures, the plot revolves around whiteface drag, as two African American male FBI agents disguise themselves as two white women.

There is a history behind both blackface and women stereotypes that negates what you say.

Lets just say two white men portray black women acting like hoodrats. That perpetuates stereotypes that run back into the Jim Crow era, perpetuating the sapphire (from Amos and Andy) stereotype of black women. This stereotype- headstrong, sexually liberal women lacking morals, perpetuates the notion that justified the white man's rape of our foremothers. Slave owners justified their black lovers and offspring by creating a narrative that made black women into hypersexual beings. The loudness comes from the mammy stereotype, who could be loud and loving, and the strong black woman, who is too strong to know her place in a man's society.

Black men portraying white women brings up no such history. There have never been negative stereotypes thrown out en masse by black people to oppress white women. Or white people for that matter.

So it aint the same :francis:
I know white people in black face has a strong disgraceful history behind it, but put history aside for a minute. If you were a white man, and you see a movie about to men of another race imitating the negative stereotypes in your community wouldn't you call out the racism it in, or would you laugh it off because it has no has historical meaning to it despite what it's trying to represent to the masses?

It was highly racist but anglos in a large part isnt sensitive to that shyt. They realized their lives go on. Once black people get to the point of doing them and not giving AF about trivial stuff like social racism then we're on the move.

First bolded point: Thats not possible for the white man watching the movie that you mention.


Second bolded point: Probably laugh it off because white men don't really respect white women. The stereotypes that do exist about white women were invented by white men. Which is also different from black folks. We did not see our women as mammy's, sapphires, and tragic mulattoes. Wypipo invented those narratives because they were just oppressors looking into a fishbowl, not able to fully interpret what was going on. During slavery, the black genders worked together, while white men isolated white women and put them on an untouchable platform. We referred to Harriet Tubman as Moses- tell me one white woman besides a queen and maybe Joan of Arc who is remembered and celebrated in that manner.
I'll wait.

so again... how were white folks oppressed because of this movie? you're not as subtle or smart as you think you are.
This. Like no one realizes this thread was created by some cac troll. What black man would be sitting down thinking "Was White Chicks racist?" then run to create a thread about it an a black forum? It's a parody from over 10 years ago. He doesn't even state his stance on the topic thinking he is being slick. Now he can sit back as a bystander while the dumb fukks come in and compare "whiteface" to blackface. :dead:

You're digressing into gender. This has nothing to do with gender, its all about race. It don't matter if its two white men, or two white women, or a white man and woman being mimicked, no one has the right to tell someone what they should and should not find offensive. If you were a white man you would have laughed it off, but Barbra the cac might have thought it was degrading and insulting. Asian people are on it whenever someone depicts them stereotypical, they will pull all types of strings to ensure that their culture isn't mocked. Everyone is different. Just because yall didn't think the movie was racist doesn't mean they think the same.

Its a dumb double standard, but whatever. It feels it something nobody should be doing if any of it is found unacceptable. Precedent or no.
