Aye that Hollywood thread..
Where brody implied..
Tina Fey and Amy Poler were
Somebody put a APB out for breh
We need answers dammit

 

[Formerly known as...]

Mad Men had a blackface scene but it was kinda of the point that it wasn’t cool but these high class white people didn’t care.

Thing with Mad Men it was based in a period of time so having blackface wasn't there for mocking reasons

It was a long time ago, she didn't know any better..2012

 

[AJD]

All these motherfukkers wouldn't/didn't give a fukk 6 months ago but now that see all these racist crakkers getting cancelled now they walking on eggshells tryin not to be next.

I love it.

 

[I Really Mean It]

fukk that virtue signaling cac bytch. If America wasn't on the verge of being burned down and seeing cacs dragged by their hair into the streets, she wouldn't have said shyt. This is not going to save you. FOH.

Seasons 3, 5 ,and 6.

Donald Glover was writing for 30 Rock still at this point

Tina trying to avoid getting bushed like Kimmel. Why even have some bullshyt like this in the show in the first place. But hey, CACs are gonna CAC

And at Donald getting hired on some diversity & inclusion shyt just so more production funds could flow to the show. Crazy at the irony of telling him he was basically “free”. shyt is despicable and buck dancing ass Donald wanted the job so bad that he accepted that Make A Wish kid role.

Insane.

If she thought it was OK then, why does she want it gone now?

I guess she’s one of the comedians that thought racism was gone when Obama got elected, like Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer

because getting cancelled for comedy was rare at the time. now people are going after old comedy sketches to cancel artists now. to be honest, im suprised that people arent going after comedians in dresses. i can see someone try to retroactively cancel flip wilson

 

[NatiboyB]

Just leave them shyts be Liz lemon was funny...it was akin to tropic thunder. I wasn’t offended personally. What’s done is done.

Tracy Morgan

breh 30 Rock gave Tracy a career extension after SNL. It always seemed like he was reading his lines from a cue card on 30 Rock. I dunno, it was just an okay show and the kinda shyt you’d have on (but not pay attention to) at 11:30pm after the 10pm news.

I will give him props for Astronaut Jones tho. No way he could get away with this shyt today.



and real talk, it’s some sad bullshyt that these networks have to basically bribe these show runners and production companies into de-CACifying their the writers room. Let this be yet another lesson in creating your own shyt.

 

[King Frost]

Notice it's mainly liberals/dems doing blackface?

Goddamn it's been ages since I've seen the Krabs meme didn't even realize it

 

[Rell84shots]

I don't get removing the Jon Hamm episode, because the whole point was them making fun of NBC and their racist stereotypes back in the day. When Tracy yelled "I'll kill you, you ignorant cracka" and bashed Jon with a chair that shyt was hilarious.

 

[puppetmaster]

Nah I am against this. Leave all that shyt up. Leave Gone with the Wind Alone, leave Songs of the South available, leave up every video Sarah Silverman, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel doing blackface video. Let the rest of the world know what CACs truly think of us in the 20's, 30s to today. Put your disclaimers or whatever before them, put them out of mainstream circulation and archive them but pretending this never happened shouldn't be an option. They always get to rewrite their own history.

You see it.

Like you said, add a disclaimer and go from there. Trying to hide it away under the guise of being an “empathetic ally” is insulting.


There’s WAY too many young to young at heart white people that had no idea about the nuance of half the things we’ve been saying and warning were gonna happen because of the way history got erased and whitewashed. A lot of em with their heads on straight wanna help but think we’re just angry to be angry since they have no historical context.

I had to school a friend about the 1965 Watts riots because she like many assumed “Rodney King was where things started”

here's the problem.

She’s a history teacher.

had her watch “Burn Motherfukker Burn” on Showtime and her whole mood was

They were really taught in school, Christopher Columbus something something. Slavery was bad but it went away because of Lincoln and Harriet Tubman and it’s all good. They got civil rights after Martin Luther King marched peacefully And ONLY in peace and then 911 happened.


So no. Don’t erase, don’t hide, don’t mute shyt

It’s time for dialogue and education


We’re in a digital world now, history is forever.
