I'm not sure if anyone has tried to do Black Face since C. Thomas Howell in Soul Man. And the movie was about his character learning his lesson.

I don't think it was racist but I do think it was inappropriate. everynametaken - 09/10/2009 02:10:35 AM 645 Views
The whole point was the skit was performed 20 years ago with the same people Colonel Logain - 09/10/2009 02:15:53 AM 635 Views
What might have been appropriate 20 years ago may not be today. The world has changed. *NM* everynametaken - 09/10/2009 03:42:35 AM 255 Views

It would be in America, or if they were Americans. But that's a different historical context. Burr - 09/10/2009 03:49:14 AM 641 Views
No, Australia doesn't Colonel Logain - 09/10/2009 03:57:47 AM 631 Views

I think too many people don't know what "racist" actually means. *NM* Palatine - 09/10/2009 05:40:54 PM 244 Views
You have to understand the legacy of the American "minstrel shows. " Joel - 09/10/2009 11:13:25 PM 712 Views
Considering that some of the people doing the skit were of Indian (country not native american).... mick - 12/10/2009 03:00:40 AM 624 Views
Well, I didn't think it was racist to begin with Colonel Logain - 12/10/2009 10:41:42 AM 621 Views
