[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless the teacher also wore blackface before showing the movie, this is stupid. [/quote] It's exactly like the controversy in "The Chair" on Netflix. Stupid, I agree. The professor ought to have warned students that Olivier wore blackface in the movie. But are they so sensitive little snowflakes that they can't endure the fact that racist behavior was very common in the past? I watched the movie Holiday Inn not long ago, and was quite surprised to find a scene done in blackface. I saw the movie years ago, and didn't remember that scene. The movie was made in the 1930s, I believe. Yes, the scene is offensive, but I enjoyed the rest of the movie, which is not overtly racist. Values and behaviors were different in the past. We don't have to throw out everything because people behaved then in ways we now find offensive. But yeah, the professor ought to have warned his class about the blackface. What a tempest in a teapot!! [/quote]
