....time for Sharpton, Jackson and all the other professional self declared black spokes-dudes to come out of the woodwork. Poor devils have been hidden in the dust of Obama's real Presidential campaign, now they'll have a reason to scream, jump up and down and get sound bites back on the evening news. Seems that Ben Stiller's new film, Tropic Thunder, includes Robert Downey Jr playing the role of a black man. No satire, no negatives --- but Oh Lordy - wait 'til the braying starts! How come that white dude is playing in black face? Why couldn't they get a black actor? I can hear it all now.
Oh well, it'll take Obama - Clinton political soap opera off the front page for a day or two... be a nice break....
The picture top right shows Downey behind Ben Stiller and just in front of bleach blonded Jack Black. The lower picture is the before-after of Downey.
Let the good times roll and and plug your ears before the screams reach their peak! Seems like when I was was growin' up, 'acting' was defined as a real person playing the role of a whole different character... So what's the beef?
