Title: Moar hypocrisy
Post by: Hawkmoon on January 13, 2017, 10:14:20 AM

Having blacks and other "people of color" portraying white historical figures on Broadway is good, but having a white dude portray a once-black rock-n-roll star is bad.

Got it.

I'm thinking of writing a screenplay about Al Jolson, with the lead to be played by Samuel L. Jackson in whiteface.

Oh!  A slight breach of etiquette by skipping past the first level dares.  A bold move, but a good move.
