Maybe I'm a grown-up and don't need to fight every battle because every battle doesn't end a war just the right one.
But I agree with Jaime Fox on this

Jamie is right.
If this was a rando face Fallon was portraying, the outrage mob would have a point.
But he was specifically impersonating a character in a skit. This has been done a THOUSAND times. Hell, Chappelle did whiteface on his show and we all thought it was fucking hilarious.
Comedy's gonna die in 10 years at this rate.

I honestly agree with him. Not that it doesn't need to be addressed. But it's been addressed and I only have so much bandwidth to be outraged and there's plenty of more serious shit, that's taking place RIGHT NOW, that needs our focus.

Honestly don't care, I don't think Jimmy's racist but who knows
Ijs black face and white face definitely isn't the same shit and should never be compared as such to excuse anything. One has a whole history behind it and the other is for shits and giggles.

There is a VERY profitable market in keeping certain demographics in a perpetual state of outrage........

Man......He does that shit so much. It's like he is trying to cue the audience on when to laugh or some shit. SMH
Black face is never acceptable under any circumstances.

What he did factually wasn't blackface. He wasn't trying to lampoon or caricature black people. He wasn't trying to paint black people as buffoons and fools. He was playing a role and people use things like costumes and makeup to get closer to that role. This should be a non-story.
That said, I don't want hear anyone acting indignant about this fake outrage as if people on this site and certainly on the IC haven't done the same thing. People consistently ignore context when it comes to this topic. We can all agree that the gangsta/Hip Hop/Urban parties that CACs throw where they all dress up like black stereotypes and pretend to be black by behaving like buffoons are the modern equivalent of blackface. The people that throw and attend those parties should be hit for that. However, when a white kid dresses up like his favorite NBA player for Halloween, uses makeup to complete the costume, and has not intention of acting crazy or anything like that, it's not different than what Fallon did. But we had topics about that on the IC and maybe here too where people going ballistic over it. So just be consistent. If the random white kid that does shit like that can't get a pass then neither should Fallon.
