"... If I punch you I don't get to decide whether it hurt you or not." Wise words.
Except no black was around to endure ACTUAL slavery or blackface. So nobody is getting "punched" at all. I can't imagine identifying with ONLY my white skinned ancestors. This is America. Stop playing victim, it's actually pretty prejudiced.
Most Americans, black or white looking, have lots of DNA that comes from other "colors."
But whatever, let SJW culture keep racism alive for blacks, and create new racism for whites.
@@BenHerbivore .... I rest my case. No comment 😂
@@Mario88881000 Yeah, but your case is stupid.
@@BenHerbivore Wow -- so much ignorance in so few words -- well done! The US was built on slavery -- black people were objects, not people. When slavery was finally abolished, white people didn't magically start treating black people as equals. At no time have black people had equal financial opportunity in this nation even tho their ancestors provided the labor that built its wealth -- that's crazy.
The legacy of slavery is a two-tiered society in which a disproportionate percentage of black people live in poverty; have shitty schools; have fewer professional and economic opportunities; and suffer more disease (because polluting industries are built where poor people live) and have a lower life expectancy.
The fact that ANYONE in the year 2018 doesn't grasp this but instead accuses black people of playing the "victim" card says everything that anyone needs to know about systemic racism in the US. If you really think that racism is a thing of the past, that the US offers black and white people a level playing field, then please come look at this bridge I have for sale ...
"You're 47! Racism wasn't [just] invented 40 years ago. 40 years ago they were just getting into the swing of it baby!"
This whole segment was GOLD ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
40 years ago was worse than slavery. OK, Amber.
It’s actually a really good point, I’m 42 and when I was in school it felt like we had cured the whole thing. I went to two schools - my second being in a much more diverse area than the first, and it was like never a thing, but now? Now we’re on the brink of a race war! I blame it on the media and the left as usual,
@@TheLemonPilot ...say all that to people your age who aren't white, every word. In person, Please! Especially the bit about racism feeling like it was cured and not being a thing back then, I'm sure they'll all agree lmao.
Blame it on the left... definitely, all the racists and red hats calling the police and constantly screaming for people to go back to where they come from (ironic) are liberals. Yep... The lefties and their media, grr!
@@printrabbit8117 these rightists are really dumb.
@@TheLemonPilot 😂🤣😃😋😊😉The usual suspects?
"For someone with a morning show, she sure is late as hell..." DEAD
Best line of the monologue. That was one helluva gut punch to MK!
Can Amber get a Netflix special please
I don't know why she hasn't, her delivery is superb!
Funny you said that, a year later, she'll be having her own show with Peacock 👍
@@myrnatrujillo7820 she actually will have her own show with Peacock 👍
@@myrnatrujillo7820 because this is racist. I am black and fighting racism with more racism is only making things worse. Do you not see how negative this message is . Literally fueling hate, which is exactly why netflix is canceling "dear white people" etc etc
she's so annoying
I really like how Seth looks at Amber like an old-fashioned dad with a super progressive kid... like concerned, sometimes embarrassed, but secretly extremely proud
OMG! That's patriarchism!
@@karmamelk9 are you American?
@@daviddelaney2407 But his spelling...
That was a wonderful interpretation of his gaze.
Father daughter, not even equal more like good friends?...
You can get Megyn Kelly out of Fox News but you can't take Fox New out of Megyn Kelly.
That was my first thought as well.
It's just called being racist 😉
@@bigdickpornsuperstar 😂😂😂
The most factiest fact
Megyn "Jesus and Santa are white, they just are, saw it in a movie" Kelly
Literally my first thought was how are they discussing whether or not something is racist while having an all white panel XD
Me too
Yea, I didn’t understand that either and I’m white lol. I wish Amber was a little nicer about it but she did say “Meghan Kelly asked a question and here’s the answer” if she’d of left it at that I’d have a lot more respect for her.
Because white people don’t need validation from blacks. This just shows that they do not value our opinion regarding OUR RACE! They want to dictate how we should feel without asking us, it’s just wrong and that’s how it’s always been for racist folks. They do not see anything wrong with having a white panel about black issues
@@matthewlocke9225 you don't have to be polite or nice to racists they displayed their inhumanity first so f$%^ them.
@Kemphchtz ummm, Meghan Kelly is only like 40...
i love how proud seth is in the background, like watching his daughter fly the nest
To be honest it really reminded me of the white savior movie skit
Right? It’s so cute! Proud papa watching his daughter all grown up! Do your thing amber!
"She 75.." hahaha.
Amber has the best wardrobe. And hair. And makeup. And everything. Amber Ruffin for Queen of Everything.
La Femme Fictionale Here, here 😁👍
‘Ear ‘ear! I like her natural hair. No straightening needed. It’s beautiful the way it is.
La Femme Fictionale Yeah....sure you do😐
Stop worshipping people because of the way they look. How old are you?
Diva! Her game is always on point.
Blackface has been considered offensive for a long time. Either Megyn is a liar, or she's 80.
...which, if you round up, is 100.
She's 100.
That's enough!
... She's ancient.
This whole age thing is getting old. Just like megyn kelly
Or she's just ignorant AF.
Blackface has always been considered offensive _by black people._ Megyn is referring to the fact that white people have been insulated from the consequences of their racist actions - a white child wearing blackface on Halloween would not have been accused of racism in the 70s because the only people with a voice to do so were other white people who had no problem with oppressing & objectifying minorities.
Seth: "Amber, that's ageist!"
Amber: "Sorry... I'm 103, but I look so good because black don't crack!"
That got a good laugh out of me...
blacks dont do crack?
@@sabin97 *Black people don't crack. It's surprisingly true, in almost all cases. Black people have great skin, and it defies the processes of aging.
@@brandondavidson4085
so blacks DO do crack?
@@sabin97 Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't you know were racist. Alright, have a good day, go on about your business.
@@sabin97 lmaoo
One more time, for the people in the back:
“Blackface is racist because it turns black people into a costume and divorces them from their humanity. We’re not costumes; we’re people. But more importantly it ignores the severely racist context in which blackface was introduced to this country and actions don’t exist separate from their context.”
There’s your answer. That’s why it’s racist. The context part is of special significance. It’s racist because of the history behind it. That legacy will always be embedded in the practice; it will always have racist connotations. People may want to try and reclaim blackface, to make it not racist, but reclaiming and redefining symbols is... hard. While you’re at it try and redefine the embedded symbolism of white hooded robes in America. Have fun with that.
And dressing up in a Native American feather headdress, unless you’re Native American, is cultural appropriation, which is another no no. Bill Maher and his ilk can howl about PC culture all they want; just don’t do it. There are literally thousands of things you can dress up as for Halloween; not dressing up as a person of another skin color won’t kill you.
And to be clear, you CAN dress in blackface. No one will tackle you and force you to change your costume. The government won’t throw you in jail (hell, under this administration you might get congratulated for sticking it to the libs). This isn’t your 1st Amendment rights being taken away on Halloween. You just can’t do it and expect everyone to not say something about it. Actions have consequences, even if they’re only getting dragged on social media.
The construction of this opinion is so well done I want to weep. It's not often you come across this in the comment section. You've pulled factual information, hooked it to the contention, your because is justified with provable evidence, even when discussing social constructions.
I
I like that you pointed out that we live in an amazing country where you do have 1st Amendment rights! You won't have the government throwing you in jail over something like blackface. It's beautiful because they also can't punish you for speaking out against corruption or other issues in the government! Allowing people to sort of police themselves into creating a society of caring individuals means the whole country can continue to grow for the better! If the government is forcing people to act a certain way it can never be engrained as a true ideal of the people.
The subject never was about wearing a "black person costume" though, it was dressing up as Diana Ross. And as far as I can tell there's never been outrage over Fred Armisen blackening it up for his Obama impression, but I guess it's cool as long as you're left leaning?
You Rock!
I liked watching the black woman sitting behind Megyn Kelly nodding her head like, "yes, it is racist, obviously- wait, she's not done... oh."
Yah she was weird
0:15
0:26
You could see her consternation, where she was wondering where this was going.
I had to watch again after reading your comment 😂😂
@@The.End.Begins24 me too🤣🤣🤣
hostofwords Black Face has a specific intent to make fun of or degrade. Costumes that show honour or respect is not Black Face.
If only they had included a black person in that panel.
Like Kanye. Would have fit right in.
Accio Username ... it was productive to have a table without race card throwers ...
Oh dear God!
Productive? How the hell can you have a productive talk about everyday racism when you don't even ask any of those people who actually have to experience this racism? That'd be like inviting someone to talk about a movie who only saw half of the trailer.
WHAT?!
@@peter-johndejong9880 You obviously meant anyone non-white is a race card thrower, right?
So my take away from this is that Megyn Kelly is 75 and Amber is 105. Black don't crack.
@Emmet Logue At that point it's almost 100.
its so sad that race has become such a bigger thing than it was 5 years ago. millennials literally just creating more of a divide. I am black btw, but I am 58 and I can see how race baiting has become huge nowadays. Because people who haven't lived as long as I have, these people have no idea how far we've come. There should be literally no complaints. It's people like this who are fueling racism and creating a problem out of nothing to boost their own ego or social popularity.
@@Tetrahfy I'm going to give you grace for your post, but I disagree with you heavily. You're right, black people have indeed come a long way, but that doesn't mean they should sit down and accept what they're allowed. You're falling into tortoise and the hare territory, and that's how black people will be left behind.
Oh, and don't call us Millennials like that, Boomer. Respect is earned, not owed.
I want Amber to have her own show
Boy, do I have good news for you!
That was your one wish! You used it wisely.
Wish for a million dollars
... Pls
:)
she does now :)
This is way too intellectual for Megyn Kelly.
@Abolish Authority
You is having a bad day...chill
@Abolish Authority ...and the real irony here is that you can't see how you're trying to silence the op.
@Abolish Authority Megyn Kelly has no values. It's why she flip flops more than a fish out of water. Is it the lure of money or the national attention that enables her sociopathic tendencies? Is she of high IQ? Undoubtedly. But it's similar to discussing love with artificial intelligence.
@@stephaniesmith4626 Kelly needs to feel relevant. She's muting her reactionary beliefs in order to maintain a diverse audience. She knew about all that sexual harassment at fox and kept her mouth shut to keep her job. "Haughty." Truly believes that she is better than the rest of us.
As for highlighting a reply made against someone who is defending your right to say that Kelly's intellect isn't up to the conversation...
I wholeheartedly support your right to disagree with someone who supports you.
So Megan couldn't find ONE black person to help her understand this????😎 Girl have a seat _/.
She did it was Kanye soooo
LOL there's at least one black lady in the audience shaking her head at everything Megyn's saying, but they didn't give that lady the mic, so :/
She needs to have several seats. One is not enough. How convenient the blackface topic came up with a photo of the housewife to boot. Kelly wants to start some mess.
Roland Martin schooled her on it, and he did a damn good job of it; ruclips.net/video/qHVPJJ33b2M/видео.html
There's one right behind her and she looks horrified!
"For someone from the morning show kelly, you sure are late as hell." 🎤 👋 Burned her
🔥👏
I'm a 103 but I look this good Cuz Black Don't Crack!!! LOL🤣😂😂
BenBen Vorlon It was my favorite line 😂😂😂
Don't forget black people also fly like superman
she's right. she's 40.
Clicked so fast. This is making me justify staying up so late. Amber is everything and she also needs her own show (as people have been saying for a while).
SAME. I didn't even read the video title. Saw Amber, clicked.
Afsheen Rashid You stay up late to click on a youtube clip?!?? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL, you know the video is on here for basically forever and you can watch it anytime you want, right????? You're so fucking dumb, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
People said Michelle Wolfe should get her own show too. Then she got one, then no one watched, then it got cancelled
I think that had more to do with appointment viewing on Netflix. Which is the opposite of what Netflix is about. You watch the first episode and then have to wait a week for the next, but a week later you're off binging some other show and forget about that show from a week ago. You also can't go back after the series is done because it's topical to what happened that week it "aired"...so it has aged horribly. Almost all the shows on Netflix that used appointment viewing schedule have been canned.
Paulycatz82, for me it's more about being lukewarm on Wolfe, never cared for her much, so I didn't watch.
Lmfaooo. Amber is my FAVORITE. Sorry, Seth, we might share a name, but Amber’s sunny disposition is everything. Lol
Nepharius TV Seth is just there for us to breathe.
For some reason her fake energetic persona annoys the piss outta me. I just wonder how she talks normally to her friends.
@@drearmouse9510 agree, first time I've ever heard her voice. Her 'persona' is just plain stupid-actin', her lines 'played out' and her voice and tone annoying.....very annoying to me.
Yeah she's my favorite too. But Seth is good too. She's getting into the show, give her some slack. Soon we'll have full frontal level coming out of her. She's awesome.
Seth is a good guy, a really good guy...rare these days
She is adorable. I love her. She puts a lot of information into her sets and I appreciate that.
"Back when I was kid, that was OK" is never a good defense.
Megyn kelly looks great for being the ghost of a confederate wife.
Sir you have wounded me deeply, hahahahahaha
Omgggg!!!! 💀💀💀💀💀💀😂😂😂
Seth tagged out at the right time. You wouldn't need this segment is Megyn Kelly invited Amber onto her panel. Can you imagine how that would go? Kind of like this segment actually.
Lmfao she's 50 tell everybody. Amber's always so undeniably amazing

Amber is only five years younger than Seth. Let that sink in.
@2:30 Seth and Amber playing with the camera focus :D
I felt the impulse to divorce Amber from her costume to get „a closer look“ - at the costume that is.
Hahahah The camera guy must have been stressed out
Waiting for Amber to say "WHAT!!!!"
she has to save them up
RUSL Bicycle lolololol
Amber and Seth together is quite good. I love how they feed off each other. They act like brother and sister to me. I love Amber's entire vibe ❤❤
Gee a conservative said something incredibly racist? I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you! And by shocked, I mean not shocked at all.
Amber is made of pure epic.
It's sexist for a man to dress as a woman.
And for the record: no, black people do not get in trouble for "putting on whiteface" because that's not a thing, and it's particularly not a throwback to racist stereotypes, segregation, oppression & slavery.
Speak!
true, although can't imagine what white person any of us would want to emulate.. ick! Oh except when dressing like a geisha.. now that was pretty lol. Used camouflage for that too! fun party
Black people should totally make white face a thing.
@@annaw252 why should they copy even more behavior that makes them look stupid?
Truth. I'm white and Black people acting white or wearing white face is really funny. It's funny because there is no historical context of exploitation or marginalization. The two things are very different.
i'd say she deserves her own show, but we saw how that went with Michelle Wolfe.... POSSIBLY the funniest late night show and canceled/cancelled, yet the white guy with a beer gut get's three stand-up specials. Oh, did I describe about seven people with specials on Netflix? Yes. Paul Blart, I did.
I'm sure it had to do with viewership. I've never seen Michelle's show because it was hard enough to stomach her bits on The Daily Show. She and Hasan Minaj both do all of their material with a nonstop grimace like they got gassed by the Joker, it's really unsettling and detracts from their jokes. At least Kevin James can tell a joke with a straight face.
dietotaku Except Kevin James isn't funny
@@PowerGlove79 Kevin James is extremely unfunny. Why doesn't he go away, like that equally unfunny Dane Clark guy?
@@helenbobo1948 who is Dane Clark? Nevermind I don't want to know...
I’ve never liked large doses of Wolfe. She’s good in skits and short bits but I’d never watch a half hour at that pitch. Not her fault her voice but even her humor is a bit screeching at you, low brow. I don’t like big doses of Jim Jeffries for the same reason. Although the words are sensible if you stop wondering why he’s shouting at you.
I remember having a white person teach diversity classes 🤔😂
Patexiss the first BHM planning meeting was held in my work place with six white managers and two black secretaries there to take the minutes!
@@celondelon 😂😂😂
Can adding a white person to a group ever diversify it? Or is diversity always about less white people?
@@Canceriantigershark IDK, but you can't teach a POC how to treat people of color if you can't identify to their pains & frustrations.
@@celondelon I was the "secretary" at meetings like those, where I could only take notes and listen to the BS of what's best for POC.
Amber should have her own show!! I LOVE her sense of humour and how she kicks ass with her blunt honesty 😘😘❤❤

love how seth shares the soundstage with his team (unlike some other hosts)
Every late night show has tried to become the daily show since 2016. Seth does it best because he is kicking the late night format quite a bit and because he has that weekend update background. But most don't want to kick the more classic late night format.
Jacob G john oliver also does a nice job with the stewart-style deep dive on a specific topic

@@Tetrahfy I think it's fair to both acknowledge how far we've come and to want better. Every time this kind of conversation comes around, there are going to be folks pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable and creating change and there are going be folks that are telling those people they need to behave. Sometimes that criticism is justified, but social change isn't always neat/linear. Thanks for your comments!
@@ajakennedy6072 I think things are getting worse now as opposed to 5+ years ago, because it seems like more people want to benefit from their "oppression". Things have gotten better, and probably things are as good as they will ever be. Unfortunately millennial think the opposite only because they haven't lived during the time of real segregation. and I've lived long enough to watch MILLIONS of white people fight and risk their lives to end slavery. It wasn't that they were volunteers either, but they were drafted and fought for the oppressed to abolish segregation and slavery. Millions of lives were lost, and in the end we accomplished our goal. People today are so lost and it's sad. MLK, and many other activists IMO would say that what people are complaining about today are ridiculous. It's all about victim culture nowadays and it's sad that it's effecting politics heavily. How about improving the economy and stop blaming others for your imperfections and your lack of success. I am a black CEO and I never considered my race to be the issue. It was my qualifications. I started my first business at 19, and I didn't make my first million in sales until age 30. Never once did I blame my race.
@@Tetrahfy Not gonna lie, I don't think you're who you claim to be. Your comments went way left field. I don't think a black person would push a narrative about white people fighting and risking their lives to end slavery, MLK not approving of modern day activism or things today being "as good as they ever will be". I'd try reading a few books to try and educate yourself on the issues. Activism doesn't always look perfect or cookie-cutter, so sometimes criticism can be justified, but claiming that there shouldn't be activism at all is. . . I don't even know what you're gettin at here. I hope you have a good day.
*Sees video featuring Amber* Yes! This is going to be great! Amber never disappoints!

As a white person, I hope easily offended white people watch this video. It's funny when people get offended over not being able to offend someone because they're the person that deserves to be offended and gain a little perspective.
I am half black and I think what happened to Megan is ridiculous. People are offended over NOTHING.
+Frenchie You might be half black (I'm not buying it) but it sounds like you're only in touch with the white side. Remember, "if I punch you, I don't decide if it hurts or not -- you do!" - Amber Ruffin, 2018

Jokes Seth can't tell : Extended Edition.
TBH though I wonder if racists wouldn't be more receptive to this message coming from a white man than a black woman. :(
But no Jenny H. to explain "lesbianface"...I guess Seth just illustrates the concept by wearing his normal haircut.

Prime Minister of Canada was a grown a** man of 29 in 2001 when he was photographed in blackface imitating a brown man. He doesn’t recall how many times he dressed in blackface, it was at least 3 we ve photos and video of. He was a part time drama teacher, loves acting a part. Suddenly, running for re-election, he became contrite. He apologizes for that but not for obstructing the rule of law and firing his attorney general. Then he gets re-elected, because Canada ran 4 parties so all you need is 25% of the vote to win enough ridings. White privilege and a trust fund......and no term limits with a national debt that just doubled......
OMG - forget any guest interviews. This should become Late Night with Seth/Amber or Amber/Seth!!!
I think they should give Amber job to be Seth's co-host. Like Higgins on Fallon or Richter on Conan.
Or SOMETHING. She's too... big... for the role she's in. That lady's got the goods
The Tonight Show with Amber Ruffin.
give her the hosting job when Seth's on holidays so the show can be on air year round without breaks!
I'd love for the show to never go off the air, and I'd REALLY love Amber subbing for Seth when needed, but the crew deserves a break as much as the star does.
employ 2 crews :P I'm sure it would be possible to increase the size of the team behind the scenes & have them mix & rotate when they go on holidays so they all get plenty of time off
I'd never tell a person who claims any race, culture, religion, sex, anything, that they can't pretend to be someone else because the act of doing so is inherently bad. It's the intent that matters. Drawing lines around what belongs to your tribe in an attempt to define what other tribes are allowed to do only further divides everyone.
Sometimes I see an interesting story with Megyn Kelly pop up on RUclips, but I NEVER watch them no matter how interesting they are, because.... well, Megyn Kelly.
Doing blackface isn't racist if you are trying to look like a specific black person. If you are just doing it to look like a black person in general then yeah, it's racist.
I love Amber😄
"Awww here she comes. Oh and there she goes"
😁
Amber cracks me up! That last “late as hell” statement was LIT!
Amber talking about Megyn Kelly... I'll watch that twice.
Megyn Kelly is trying to be Mahatma Blondie as said by Michelle Wolf on the Daily Show Once.
🤣😂🤣😂
Yes, Amber! Drop that mic, honey!
"It autofilled MEGAN KELLY DEFENSE BRETT KAVANAUGH" so I knew I was about to watch a terrible video!
... who wears "white face" as a halloween costume?
Clowns or Mimes. Both groups huuuuge racists
You're equating black face to clown makeup? Or are you calling all white people clowns?
how long until amber gets her own tv show?! seriously, I’m waiting for it.
Claire Conover Unfortunately, don’t hold your breath🤐
Two years later, I am still holding on to the daydream of going back to NYC and hanging around in hopes of getting to open a door for Amber Ruffin.
Amber jumping up and taking over was something I didn't know I needed but I'm glad I know this exists now.
I love seeing the writers also taking a more active role in the show, you're the best Amber.
Jumped outta my skin when the sista popped up...
LMAO Amber is such a clown with some great points I love her
I really enjoy how much Seth and Amber behave like siblings. At 2:37 where they keep bobbing in and out. So cute. At 2:09 Seth just smiling at her, like a big brother watching his little sister perform.
At 2:21 They literally sound like siblings bickering. Her tone of voice on "kidding" and "what" are perfect and kill me every time.
Amber: She's fifty tell everybody
Seth: Amber! That's Ageist!
Amber: I'm KIDDING!! She's sixty.
Seth: Amber!
Amber: What!?
Anyone can "decide" what's racist, because anyone can be the victim of racism.
Amber is the funniest comedian on the planet!
Who's really surprised the "Santa has to be white, get over it" itch doesn't understand what's wrong with blackface?! In others shockinh news Amber is fabulous and water is wet..
I laughed so hard my neighbors heard me.
I have a big problem with this. I think at costume parties 'anything goes and everything is fair game'. Some people have no taste but, whatever. Its all or nothing.
I like this lady never heard of her until the other day but she’s funny beautiful and intelligent
You should watch her skits on Drunk History. She's hilarious!
Queen you are in for a treat!
“Not racist”
Said by a table of Whites.
and by me.
a brown person. because apparently the melanin level of someone's skin is somehow important for you.
and by you, if you support the marvel cinematic universe, in which robert downey jr plays a major role.
do you remember him filming tropic thunder in blackface?
I'm sure you'd say it's not racist of Jimmy Kimmel putting blackface on as Karl Malone or Jimmy Fallon blackface as Chris Rock.
actually the people on the panel did call her out on it... they were like ummm yeah, it is...
@@BookNerd4Music
do you support robert downey jr?
he used blackface in tropic thunder....
That's like asking if a man dressing as a woman is sexist.
Great analogy of “if I punch you in the face I don’t get to decide if it hurts or not”
“I just look this good because black don’t crack” 😂😂😂😂😍😍❤️❤️❤️
She’s my favorite on the show.
Unrelated: How the heck is she older than 30!? Stop with the pranks, she’s clearly 20. 😂 Lord, please let me age half as well as her omg.
She looks like she’s in her 30s come on.
0:42 my favorite moment, “ ... and actions don’t exist separate from their contexts” my favorite quote.
I love that Seth and crew leave room for banter/interp.
And it always pay off.
Wait, wait. Wait. So... could I like... dress up as late MJ? I mean, I wouldn't be.. darkening my skin in any way, just putting on a glove, a fedora, a white shirt, black pants and putting in some hair gel. Right? XD
Germ Antibody NO!
Yes you could.
@@mzlady6407 YES
Amber you kill me. Nice threads also!
To be fair racism is thinking one race is worse then others or genuinely profiling the community as a whole, black face is not racist. It's just super offensive, due to it's context.
This was not racist it was light hearted entertainment from yesteryear, The world has gone mad 🇺🇸
However
Have you guys seen Robert Downey jr in Tropic thunder fkn hilarious
Danny bhoy
And he is berated by the other Black actor throughout the movie & learns from his mistake, Also he's not playing a very dignified person/actor. Kind of an a-hole,
Nevertheless one of the funniest movies EVER!!😂
ONLY Robert Downey Jr. could pull that roll off. 🤣 But RDJ's roll could only exist with Brandon T. Jackson's roll to counter it. The roll was making fun of delusional white ppl acting black. It's like they predicted Rachel Dolozol. Lol.
*role
*Dolezal
Dressing up for kanye would be difficult for white person, because every one would just think you as an trump supporter?
*a Trump (because "Trump" starts with a consonant sound)
It’s difficult explaining why it’s racist because it’s racist for all sorts of reasons and taken individually some of those reasons don’t easily stand up to forensic scrutiny. But that’s missing the point and if something causes most members of a group discomfort that right there is a big clue that (if only out of courtesy) you damn well avoid it.
What if we put Santa in blackface? Will Megyn's head simply explode?
Megyn Kelly is the Eva Braun of news
Please grab a history book, preferably a translated one since english speaking historians are not understanding original sources which leads to them writing a lot of bullshit and stop talking about people you know nothing about. Eva Braun was not a public figure
PowerGlove79 That’s taking it way too far!
Leni Riefenstahl would be a better comparison, though not a great one.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like, as a person with literally no racist atoms in my body, i really didnt understand it. Is it only blackface that is racist due to its history, or is the act of putting on the skin tone of any other ethnicity other than your own in itself racist? As an asian man, and not really into asian films, i can only dress up as characters with other ethnicities.. also, not from the US, so pardon me if I do not relate as well, no offense meant, hopefully none are taken.
It is because historical black face means this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackface#/media/File:Minstrel_PosterBillyVanWare_edit.jpg
So dressing up as racist stereotype of a black person. For some reason the term has shifted in the US to include any white person impersonating a black person, except Robert Downey Jr.
but RDJ was a satire on blackface itself, it wasn't "blackface period".
Oh, you'd be amazed! Have you ever met a Christian fundie? They genuinely think that dressing up as scary creatures is worshiping Satan; it's not just offensive but literally evil as far as they are concerned.
Oddly enough, these same people would probably have no qualms with blackface...and I don't think that's a coincidence either.
You actually do have atoms in your body that were once in a racist.
@@DrWhom ... Is true. Is a Buddhist principle and you just reminded me to see this whole thing in a different light. Thnx.
Damn, calling out her age like that Ouch! That's had to hurt!😂😂😂
LOL! She forgot that she is not on Fox TV anymore. As the saying goes you can't teach an old dog a new trick.
Why doesn't she have her own show yet?
„Actions don‘t exist seperate of their context“. Well Amber, maybe the context of dressing up as Nick Fury from the Avengers is because you think he‘s a cool character, not because you want to degrade black people into second class citizen.
No, it HAS to be racist! Everything is racist.
Amber deserves a show, and I think she could have really good stand up specials/tours, like the ones on Netflix
It wasn't until college that I learned what a minstrel show was. If you ever saw imagery from a minstrel show, you would for sure neverrr question to yourself if blackface is racist.
