Jamie Foxx is 100% correct, and everyone here is agreeing, but regardless, that movie would NEVER get made today. Meanwhile, White Chicks 2, currently in production. And that is way more offensive, just because the first one was such a terrible movie. 😂
Black people did not have a problem with RDJ's role in the movie. It's white people who feel that we should be bothered and causing issues. He was simply a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude.
Need for Speed Unbound took notes from this episode 😅 That's kinda awesome
You mean the MR. WORLDWIDE community!
It’s not F’ing blackface. A guy wearing makeup to look black is not close to the same as someone in blackface. Blackface is meant to satire and mock the black face. It is defined by the exaggerated outline of the mouth in white or red to simulate an exaggerated depiction of white teeth or large lips. Stop taking away from what blackface really is and what it represents, by calling anyone with black makeup…as being blackface. It simply isn’t.
