Not as much as they need bold thinkers like you who somehow think it's patronizing to be anti-racism.

Right, but the idea that there's a non-racist way to do blackface— which her profession of good intentions suggests— is coming from the same place as saying there's a non-homophobic way to say "faggot."
Intent matters to some extent, but when you emphasize it this heavily, the implication is that you and the people it's offensive to have an equal say in whether or not it's okay. She's not doubling down but she's coming from the same place as straight people who insist that "faggot" isn't a homophobic term anymore.

But nope, I guess she's just something out of a gritty reboot of There's Something…
"A movie called Bridesmaids?" Is she seriously trying to be a hipster about a two-year-old movie that was a huge hit?
If twerking taught us anything, it's the mainstream media are great at thinking things that have existed for years are recent developments.
Welp, they managed to blatantly lie without endangering the lives of random brown kids. Progress?

Ugh, if he's gonna rip off Marvin Gaye, can't his dad rip off Senior?
Why do I feel like if this is any good, NBC will mistreat it horribly, because they're the network equivalent of Matilda's parents?
