Jack Black, Ben Stiller & Robert Downey, Jr. at 2008 MTV Movie Awards

It is racist to hire a white man to play a black man. Why couldn’t they hire a real Black Actor?? There are hundred of black comedians who would have umped at this role. Why were they disregarded? The obvious reason is that they intend to laugh AT black men and not laugh WITH them. It’s the whole Dave Chappelle conflict all over again. I wouldn’t be surp... more >

It is racist to hire a white man to play a black man. Why couldn’t they hire a real Black Actor?? There are hundred of black comedians who would have umped at this role. Why were they disregarded? The obvious reason is that they intend to laugh AT black men and not laugh WITH them. It’s the whole Dave Chappelle conflict all over again. I wouldn’t be surprised if the COMEDY CHANNEL was behind this. Racists behavior is becoming more and more common. This is the second time that Jack Black has taken a role in a film that denigrates Black people. Who remembers his role in King Kong in which Black people were so “other”, so strange, so hideous, that they weren’t even human beings. Thanks again for showing your true identity Jack Black. You are racist in my book until you prove otherwise, no matter how many low budget “Be Kind, Rewinds” you try to slither into. I hate two-faced phonies who try to pretend to be righteous but who are constantly taking roles that feed into racial hatred and division. As for Ben Stiller, we laughed at you because we thought you were for a down-to-earth good person,not a phony hater who’ll do anything for a buck. Otherwise, your humor is pathetic. And I guess that Robert Downy r. thinks that his comeback merits any type of behavior no matter how despicable. What a pathetic attempt at Nouveau Racism! You tried to ridicule Black men, you tried to slide it past by saturating the web with it, but your production just comes off as terribly petty, vicious and destructive. It also appears that you think that you are putting one over on the Black community,but you are only fooling oreos who don’t respect their heritage. You have offended 3 million Black people because you think that we don’t count. SHAME ON YOU!!! It’s despicable. Hire real Black men next time, you losers.
