Tropic Thunder
I was just curious to see how everyone felt about the movie "Tropic
Thunder." It is a comedy and has Robert Downy Jr. playin and actor, who is playing a black man in an old war movie. In your opinion, is this acceptable?

apparently you didn't see the movie. if you had not only would you not be offended but you might even be a little impressed with RDJ's performance.

I actually did see the movie. I wanted to know what other people thought about it. Thanks for responding though. lol. When i first watched it it was hard for me to get past the white guy playing a black man. The movie was hilarious and it really took my mind off of it. I'm just wondering if people would still accept the movie if it wasn't as funny as it was. Most of my laughs came from the other characters anyway.

I am not offended with Robert downey Jr. playing a black man. I would only be offended if he made black people look like baffoons.

RDJ was not wearing Blackface. you need to look up Blackface and then look at a picture of his character and you'll see the difference.
