The Streets

First Ben Stein
Then Scott Adams,
Then Elon Musk lying about how "the media is racist against whites and Asians."

And now Ben Stiller has something to say as he defends Blackface in his 2008 Tropic Thunder film.

He compares it to the 2003 film White Chicks. I notice that many suspected / open racists online love to bring up the White Chicks movie when doing and/or defending Blackface, so for Ben Stiller to do the same is alarming. Would he be okay if non-Jewish people made a comedy movie about Jewish people with stereotypes?

I am now sideeyeing Ben Stiller because he is very sus to me after using that comparison. 👀

(Don't forget, the 1915 the film The Birth Of A Nation was the first Hollywood blockbuster and inspired and gave another rise to Ku Klux Klan).

Also, just because a movie, show, song, or skit is funny or good (even if it has racist stuff in it) doesn't mean that the people behind it are not racist.

It's time to be honest about the racist undertones of movies such as Tropic Thunder and the racism of Hollywood period.

Okay correction (it's too late to change the thread title).

Ben Stiller is Still Proud of Blackface in Tropic Thunder film As He Cosigns a Twitter User Saying "bUt WHitE CHiCks Is WHiteFacE ThO, I hAtE CaNCeL CuLtURe."​

I recall the NAACP (yes, the white-ran NAACP) approved the movie after a screening and that people have been claiming that the movie was making of white actors and white Hollywood doing Blackface and casting white actors as Black characters instead of Black actors. Many claim that this movie was one of the very few acceptable forms of Blackface done in media.

Do you think many naysayers are reaching?
