This seems to be what most white people believe. But its not that much different. What strikes me is how gratuitous it is and how white celebs and (presumably) white writers go out of their way to use black face. How contrived a plot has to be for their white characters to have a rare meeting with actual black people while in blackface? That is an insidious kind of racism, a desire to see and depict black people being insulted. Like Megan, most whites seem to see nothing wrong with it. Thus Kimmel and Fallon. But virtually all blacks resent it. So why go out of your way to offend black people? That is a very perverse kind of racism.
