oh, thank god this very successful and intelligent professor took 3 minutes out of her very busy life to explain to me, a dumb, ignorant a-hole, the complexities of satire from 45 years ago

there's no way I could have figured this out all on my own

I feel bad for her. Part of her duties at TCM is to come out and explain away blackface and derogatory terms. You know she's catching shite from her fellow black people for this.

And I don't give a shite if they preface every movie with a warning (which they've been doing for years on their channel and no one batted an eye). Other networks and streaming services will just go the route of not running the films at all.
