    It is racist just by virtue of being a white person playing a black person. FFS. Where are you even getting this from?

        I’m guessing you don’t know any black people, but you probably should go find one and ask them if they agree with you.

            Cool. Then ask the black people they know if they think a white actor playing a black character is blackface. You might be surprised.

              I could disagree with a Republican on their gay stance

              If you’re answer is just “ask around until someone supports me” then you know you don’t have an argument

              But I don’t know why you’re so passionate about forcing inequality

                I literally said to ask the black people you know, not just someone. You won’t even ask one black person though, I’m sure.

                  Then ask the black people they know

                  Because apparently the ones I know aren’t good enough for you

                    It was a typo. I meant the black people you know. I doubt you’ve ever consulted them on this opinion of yours.
