Robert Dawney Jr on his use of blackface in Tropic Thunder, and if it could be made nowadays

[PL368Z]

Right-wingers have reduced his role and that movie Blazing Saddles in to some anti-pc crap, while simultaneously missing the overall anti-racist commentary.

Everytime this comes up you can tell a lot about what kind of people you're dealing with on the coli.

The point of him being in blackface was because he was a method actor that got casted to play a black guy because Hollywood studios would rather hire a white guy to play a black guy than a black guy to play a black guy. Which is why the actual black guy in the movie is important because he keeps reminding him and you how racist Hollywood studios are. Yet the same nikkas run in these threads completely missing the whole point dap fishing. It wasn't shytting on black people, it was shytting on Hollywood.

That shyt was funny and I like how the brother was going at him about it

soft MFs in this day and age can’t handle shyt

“Oh joe rogan you crazy”

He should have gotten an Oscar...

It's the only one I will allow.

I hated this movie first time I watched it. Thought it was fukking stupid. One night I came home smoked a spliff and it all just clicked. Now I can watch sober/blitz and it’s just as funny.

Give it another shot.

When he snacked that map.....

[Spliff]

Movie was hilarious.

I regret not seeing in theaters. Had to be a riot in there.

I dont like Joe Rogan. Brings on a prolific actor like RDJ and of course asks him about some anti-politically correct shyt

Of course it could still get made today. And the movie sucked anyways.

I listen to a lot of his podcast and that is actually the first thing he brings up when discussing politically correct shyt in comedy, he has been doing it for years so of course he was gonna bring it up when he finally got the man itself in front of him.

Solution: View it all as entertainment. Allow artist to say/do whatever, hold them accountable for actions outside their respective platform that blurs line between reality and entertainment

Result is no more concerns about who supporting what for whatever reasons...who being cast to depict...equal outrage for all stereotypes/degeneracy outside of entertainment...easy to identify hypocrites that support behavior from their fav artist they otherwise claim to be against

 

[Threnody]

The Blackface didn't bother me....just how unfunny that movie was....what just a corny era in comedy where Hollywood
brainwashed people into thinking Ben Stiller and Will Ferrell were even a little bit funny @ all those garbage 2000s comedies

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

The shyt was funny

 

[MoneyTron]

RDJ pulled it off and it was funny, at least to me.

 

[levitate]

Folks are too sensitive now... specifically right-wingers on any issue related to the flag.

Speaking of Blazing Saddles Alex Karras who played Mongo just made the Pro Football Hall of Fame he used to play for the Detroit Lions
