Bruh you said Trump was the most openly racist president in the past half century. I countered that Bill & Hillary (let’s be honest they come as a set) demonized urban blacks and their policies put far far more blacks in jail than anything Trump has done and we’re about to put them in office again. You can counter with don’t look at me but yalls shit sure does stink too.

Geeze. I bet people still go see the next Avengers movie though.
No, let’s not be ‘honest’ and hold Clinton responsible for her husband’s policies. Actual black people seem to think she’s far better for them than Trump.
I also shudder to think what Trump would have done if given the opportunity in the 90’s considering he was taking out full page ads calling for the execution of innocent black teenagers.

I don’t even know why you’re bothering with this nonsense as you’re never going to win. By every imaginable measure Trump is light years worse than even the worst things Clinton has done. And hers were decades ago while Trump ran on the platform that he was a huge racist!
And of all things - you chose to vote for the guy you knew was a giant racist! Don’t be surprised when people think you’re a racist when you voice your support for a guy like that. You made a choice and that choice has consequences.

No, you're just playing that old game of "you're just as bad as me and that makes me better."
Believe it or not, some people think it's better to try to be a moral person and fail, than to never try at all. Hard for you to understand, I know.
That just confused people, as I remember it. Commenting on blackface, while simultaneously engaging in it. Meta-blackface. And the Ted Danson one created quite a furor at the time, IIRC. Wasn't it Whoopie Goldberg who put him up to it? What with that and her Polanski comments, she's a bit...odd.

Because the true offense is when a black actor is actually denied the opportunity to play a black character and the character is played by a white person with face painted black. If the character was written as "white method actor, trying to be black, doesn't understand blackface," then the character was actually written to be played by a white man. They understood the technicality of it. Films depict racism and racist things all the time anyway. I don't think Kung Fury promotes Nazi ideals.
You are probably partially correct. That's definitely part of the problem with blackface - but it clearly isn't the entirety of it. It's also just about mockery.
I really don't know how that one was received generally - it seems to me like the most awkward example ever, because it was so self-referential and self-conscious and was a joke about blackface as much as an example of it. But I would bet opinion was divided among black people - I suspect many wouldn't have been inclined to consider the subtleties of it, because it's just offends too strongly and touches on too many painful topics. While others might be more inclined to acknowledge the 'joke'.
The other examples were just plain embarrassing.
Most people I knew thought Hillary's comments and actions were offensive at the time (see also Bill's cuts to AFDC). Did you complain back then? As I remember it all the Clintons' worst actions were opposed by the left and supported by the Republicans. So I don't see that a conservative is in a good position to _now_ decide he doesn't approve of those things.
It's ironic. In that, I've grudgingly forgiven Hillary, because we have bigger problems now, she's possibly changed by now, and I'm not as left as I used to be (not at all sure about much any more). Yet apparently you've now tacked round to outflank me and attack her from the left!

It’s over there next to your time machine.
I don’t think anyone is defending black face. But a picture of someone doing it in a yearbook means that none of the people involved in the editing of that yearbook, and all of the people who received and saw the picture at the time of its release...no one flagged it. Doesn’t make it right, but that the yearbook even exists means it was tolerated by a lot of people at the time.
Out of curiosity, I went back and looked at my high school yearbook. Yeah, there is some stuff in there that would not fly today.
The appropriate response is an apology and a strong statement explaining why.

Obviously not. I said anyone, any context...which is obviously not the case.

This one apparently told a friend at the time naming Fairfax which is a big deal.
