Actors Glenn Vernon and Edward Ryan apply blackface make-up while on stage, and show us how blacks have been portrayed in minstrel shows for ages...
The producers do not tolerate or support racism in any form. In fact, they find racism to be abhorrent. This is merely a look at how black have been portrayed in the past using a historical clip from the 1949 feature film, Hollywood Varieties.
One does not have to look far to find many other examples of racial stereotyping in popular media in the first half of the 20th century. Radio shows, movies, and comic strips were filled with caricatures of Blacks, Native Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, and every other minority. It is to our great credit that we have evolved as far as we have since then, but we should preserve our history and not try to rewrite it in some Orwellian attempt to excise those parts of it that we now find abhorrent.

As a so called intellectual superior you are one imbecilic cretin. You superiority exists in little form other the delusional and dysfunctional illusion of you pathetic little brain. Your logical boundary lies little further than the insignificantly isolated space of your arrogant and moronic mind set. You, like many common people of this world have little to nil knowledge of basic humane and moral communications, You are a mockery of human beings and an embarrassment. I scoff at your existence.

I think you are missing the point. You call all Black people "Dysfunctional" because one particular culture use a term they probably don't even understand. Like, these days people refer to each other with vulgar slang all the time even when they don't intend to use it like that. You need to look into common culture a bit more. It's not just black people that do it. "Nigga" frankly isn't even used to it's definition anymore. You need to let go of your hatred for other races.

Then why mention it? Obviously I had the option to and consider it, but I didn't because it was unnecessary. He was very aware of what I meant.
