Ben Stiller defends Robert Downey Jr. blackface in ‘Tropic Thunder’

I think I found the way to break it down for everybody to understand.


I don't care what the storyline is, the fake message behind it, the director, etc. I have 0 tolerance for it.


Same as white people who wanna say nigga. Idc if they grew up on the block for 20 years, they know every biggie verse word for word, they smoke newports, etc


ZERO TOLERANCE.

This does help explain YOUR position on it a lot more clearer

It still doesn't mean RDJ did black face in my eyes
 
You're missing the point. The joke wasn't "Hey, look black stereotypes are funny." The joke was "Hey, look how stupid that white character is for thinking those stereotypes actually represent what it means to be black."

I didn't even think the movie was funny. It was overrated to me. It's just a fact that the supposed joke with RDJ's character seemingly went right over the heads of all the people claiming RDJ did black face.
