Dumb post, Uwe.

At least THREE(well ONE really) Black comedians have donned White make up, in parody. Eddie Murphy, Lenny Henry and Martin Lawrence(that's the one that can get away with the 'comedian' tag!).

Forget B & W Minsterel sh*te, I'm talking nowadays, more acceptable comedy.

Yes I agree but the fact that a white actor is playing a white actor portraying a black man is causing a few raised eyebrows in hollywood.

How much like P Diddy does Robert Downey Jr look? When he's 'blacked up' obviously!

Chappelle can be added to that list two... and the two actors that did the film about being "white chicks"

One of my mates recently blacked up for a fancy dress party, he went as Bill Cosby but looked more like Stevie Wonder. Anyway he looked amazing and genuinely black, he actually looked better than he does white.

I don't mind if black actors becoming white and white becoming black anymore, because modern make-up techniques make it convincing. Unlike years ago when Olivier boot-polished his face to play Othello.

I do have a problem with the RSC having black african actors taking roles in Macbeth, speaking in African accents, and pretending to be all super white scottish. I mean it's just fooking nonsense. The king of Scotland was not an African. Similarly I would not be pleased if a white actor played Malcolm X or MLK as a white man.
