I've seen an 80s movie where a white guy dresses up himself as a black guy to get into college using affirmative action.

If this movie can get dragged though the mud how the fuck did that one get made? Or was shit just that different back in the 80s?

I find the use of blackface to be endlessly hilarious.
Big ol' pink lips and what not, that's comedy.

This movie is going to suck any way, so what is the point.

That movie was Soulman with C. Thomas Howell.

We also had Eddie Murphy play a white Jew in Coming To America.

What about Sarah Silverman? She had an entire black-face episode. Or is she not technically white because she is Jewish?

For once I have to agree with you Depth, he looks hilarious. The whole movie sounds cool.

Good comedy is always controversial.

Hell doesn't SNL have a white guy playing Obama or something like that? I haven't watched the show in probably close to a decade now so I apologize in advance it I am mistaken.
