is it okay for Saturday Night Live actor fred armisen to blacken up his face to play well, a black man. loads of people have a problem with that. as, well it harpens back to the days of white actors downing paint to demean blacks and native americans. and let’s not get talking about david carradine and asian-americans. so fred joins angelina jolie and robert downey jr in this vein. this must be like, a new hollywood trend of hollyweird nostalgia.
