It was a different time
Cooper Fisher
it was unironically a different time
Gavin Russell
The same reason iDubbbz wasn't cancelled for saying nigger.
He was being "ironic" about it.
Elijah Jenkins
*AHEM*
Adrian Brooks
Manlets get a greencard. Feels pretty good to be in niggerville brah. Just feed them on time and you're fine.
Jacob Sanders
Do you retards really not understand why it was acceptable? Did you not see how the other black characters reacts to him?
David Sanchez
It was commentary about black face, he wasn't playing a black guy he was playing a guy who was playing a black guy, the whole joke is that hollywood made him do black face instead of hiring a black person for the role.
Carter Lopez
A Juddist.
Kayden Walker
Jewish
Aiden Flores
Came here to post this, everyone in this thread is braindead. RDJ isn't doing blackface, he is playing a character that is doing blackface, so RDJ really can't take shit for it.
Owen Green
Because Ben Stiller got shit on more
Adam Peterson
well then they should of hired a black dude in whiteface who pretends to be white dude in blackface, fucking raycis baka
Jace Hill
Because RDJs character and lack of self awareness was the joke, not the blackface itself. Also you can get away with a little racial humor as long as it's actually funny and you're not trying to hurt anybody's feelings. Does pol understand nothing about comedy besides screaming nigger?
Lucas Scott
Context is irrelevant user. We've already got wise people making sure you go to jail for "jokes" like this.
Asher Morris
Because it was actually funny.
Levi Rodriguez
Because people still had a sense of humor before 2014.
Also, I didn't know who Robert Downey Jr. was when this came out. I had seen Iron Man, I'd seen Sherlock Holmes, but for me, someone born in 1991, he was a new face and name I hadn't grown accustom to yet.
So when I heard it was RDJ as the black guy, I thought it was an actual black guy, Robert Downey Jr. sounded like enough of a nigger name to me.
He looked like a nigger in the movie, he talked like one, so until he started wiping off the paint, I thought he was one.
I also didn't know Mike Myers was Dr. Evil and Goldmember until like 2009.
Josiah Thompson
>Does pol understand nothing
Correct.
Jaxon Moore
Bullshit. Pic related is considered racist these days.

Easton Brooks
Hey man, just a little bit of advice, you probably shouldn't be so proud of the fact that you're a braindead moron.
Adam Cox
>WHY OSTENSIBLE RACIST THING NOT RACIST IN CONTEXT?
Imagine being a polcel and just spending your entire life pretending to be retarded
Lucas Gomez
because the "joke" is that we're laughing at the idiocy of the character who thought it would be funny to do it
the hilarious thing is that despite most people believing this on some level, everyone is still laughing at the blackface part of it. His scenes taken out of context, no indication you're supposed to laugh at the dumb character behind the blackface, its still just as hilarious and everyone knows this, yet tricks themselves into thinking we're laughing at how dumb the character is. You literally will never get rid of racial humor and whites have simply evolved to do it under a guise of something else.
Jackson Roberts
Cause there's really nothing wrong with it.
Austin Russell
There was like a hundreds of replies long thread here just now about how racist 300 obviously is and how you must be pol not to see it.
Ayden Barnes
And it was only little over a decade ago. I really do have to wonder what the fuck 2029, for example, will be like.
Matthew Watson
wait...why is that racist?
Jaxon Long
>BE ASHAMED YOU DIDN'T CONSUME ENOUGH JEW MEDIA GOY
Ian Brown
>race relations literally were shot and killed in a little over 10 years
How did that happen?
Jayden Anderson
See you're so stupid you didn't even understand what I said.
This is not something you should be exclaiming in public
Mason Collins
somebody got elected and a whole bunch of psychos cant deal with it
Parker Mitchell
>someone says it's racist
>it's considered racist
Two different things. And the article is about actual racist language, not the "blackface"
Caleb Morales
I'm not even him retard, just remarking that he didn't care enough about jewish noise to know nor care
Angel Mitchell
>racism was basically non-existent in the 90s and early 2000
>suddenly in 08 race relations somehow became worse than the 60s
I wonder if someone got elected and started the fire.
Adrian Richardson
>Two different things.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Charles Martinez
he's got aids in prison i think people know he's had enough
Nolan Sanders
Right.
Michael Diaz
ITT: a bunch of "le wrong generation" faggots who don't understand why rdj blacking up in topic thunder is different from them calling blacks niggers and convincing themselves that "you can't say anything these days" as though they're the first people to think that and that things were substantially different 10 years ago (they weren't)
Ryan Watson
because cancel culture requires
adult millennials and mature social media.
We had neither in 2008; social media was still emerging, and millennials were still riding the school bus. And that's a good thing, too, because RDJ did a great job in the role.
Lemme tellya something...
Don't listen to Millennials. They don't know things. They just like being offended so they can say that they're offended.
A non-black person portraying a black person is okay as long as it's accurate. Therefore, no off-the-wall stereotypes, and no burned cork.
Also, racist jokes are okay if they're actually funny.
Examples: aforementioned RDJ in Tropic Thunder, and Darrell Hammond as Jesse Jackson
Jayden Peterson
It was a different time, Raimi's time.
Jordan Ramirez
It was a different time though. Everything changed in 2013/14, around the same time the DNC was sponsoring the BLM race riots across the country. Tropic Thunder could not have been made after 2014, at least not with RDJ in blackface.
Christian Ramirez

Khartoum is still pretty silly
