I think there's a legitimate point upon racism that has to do with intent and with cultural norms. There's all the difference between someone like, say, Mr. Popo from Dragonball Z and what is actually anti-black racism in Japan. Hell, i saw a blackface ad on the train at one point, but in the same ad there was a ridiculous-looking kabuki actor that would pass for anti-Japanese racism in the States. We in America have become to shrill about the form of racism, even if we are progressive in dealing with its content


For everday people?  Maybe.   For politicians, buisness owners and the like?   They live in an international community and as suchthose types of people should keep in mind the multicultural international communities they work in.

Outside which, Black people in germany find that shit racist.


But Tahir Della a spokesman for the Initiative for Black Germans (ISD), which tries to represent the interests of the black community in Germany, called the billboard "unbelievably hurtful."

"This is 2011 and not 1950," he said. "I find it racist through and through."

so you found now something and because you are so proud of it you start to talk about it every time now or what? do you think i couldn't find a black guy fighting for black  in usa saying something like that about something in usa?

and why do you speak about politicians and business owners and so on? he is a SATIRIST! and his "party" is ust a joke you know? nothing serious.

blackface is something bad in usa and was something to "play stupid" blacks or something like that? ok fine but this isn't in germany. if you make fun about something in usa which is something bad in romania, what would you say? i bet you would say "ohh ok but here it's nothing bad"

i mean wtf? if a black satirist in germany would say "i will be the next merkel" and would color his face white (yes merkel is white it would make sense) why should this be racist? if he wants to look like merkel he has to put another color on his face lol. if this satirist wants to look like obama because he says "i am an obama", oh yes he would really look like obama with a white face...his gesture with his arm, the big smile and the black face are all allusions on obama. nothing racist, just to look like him a little bit.

our satirists here make jokes about EVERYONE, if merkel, kohl, obama, their own mother or brown (haha brown you know), but if it is a joke involving something which is about a black it has to be racism. pahaha

pathetic...

 

or in other words, if you don't understand that blackface, which means very bad things in usa but doesn't mean that the whole world has to know that this has a special meaning in usa and we don't have this meaning here because we didn't have comedians using a  black face to play "stupid blacks" in the past, i think we should now

i bet there are some who hate this. this is nothing to hate but there will be some whites who hate this. should we now condemn murphy because of this? end his career? it's only comedy and i bet you didn't care in usa if a sentence like "kill the whites" is forbidden to say in another country on this planet. i bet murphy didn't look at 200 countries if this would be ok in all of those countries because it's ok in his country.
