Producers choosing to pull television episodes that were critical of the use of blackface
(quokk.au)
S7E2 "The Gang Goes to the Jersey Shore"
- I think they should do exactly that "This episode has some racist stuff we were stupid in making. Sorry" and keep it available
- Doing satire about blackface in the 00s was about as timely and relevant to issues at the time as making satires about railway tycoons would have been.
- If for some reason you still wanted to do this, you shoudn't have actually done it
3.5) If you were depicting a fantasy race, just use a shade of "grey-black" not "brown-black" to differentiate the inhuman character - The only thing that did it properly was Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" since it's a black director giving his own opinion on black culture.
- for some reason, 30 rock did it multiple fucking times, and the only good one was John Hamm, since :
- The context was showing tv shows evolving over time
- The makeup was done poorly on purpose
- Contrasting the usually stupid Tracy and having him be dignified with "I IS DONE STOLE THIS CATFISH" was actually fucking hilarious.
