I mean it is super racist and hilarious but its not like anyone gives a shit what Holland does anyway you guys are super racist everyone knows it.
Yeah the seeming obliviousness to how bad it looks is what makes it truly hilarious. It was the same thing with Trudeau's blackface pics that surfaced during the recent election here. I just can't help but crack up looking at him grinning like an idiot in that get-up, without the slightest inkling that it would be this huge shitstorm for him later in life.

But then, Im not trying to make money from being offended about things

larry.fisherman said: The world is trying to become a community rather than a series of lines and tribes. If they can't get with the program and understand compassion and social brotherhood then it just highlights the kinds of people who'd rather stay divided rather than unite as a species. People these days always want this and this and this.. things must be sacrificed, much like men learn to hold their tongues in social situations for the good of the experience for all. Why this shouldn't apply as a species I don't know. The root word for civilization is "civil." If you can't be civil, what are you/we doing to make this all work?
"The world is trying to become a community"
How so, we have borders, citizenship and national sovereignty. We have property rights and massive wealth inequality, what's so community about anything?
"things must be sacrificed"
Like free speech? I don't think so. I'll fight for your freedom of speech, will you fight for mine?

To me, its enfuriating its even a thing. Even as a kid I hated it because I found it humiliating to my black buddies.
40 years on, the tide is slowly turning.
WTF people. No more minstrel shows.
Sickening! Tell this to the modern day "rappers" etc...Cornell West stated "rap" and "hip-hop" are nothing more than a modern day minstrel show.
