not Al Jolson? -- nm - peglegpete Feb 15, 16:32
Ted Danson's got to be glad he did his penance for this years ago. -- nm - Baroon 5 Feb 15, 15:24
I mean, is it not different if they are doing an impression of someone, as Fallon was doing Chris Rock in his skit? - groiny Feb 15, 14:56 6

  - so, doing impressions is limited to only your own race? - groiny Feb 15, 15:09 4
    - I think it's not the impression, but the historical context that matters. The impression of the person is fine, but around the edges ... - ReluctantCynic Feb 15, 15:19
    - You can do an impression without coloring your skin in an offensive way -- nm - rollo Feb 15, 15:15 2
      - But probably just best to steer clear anyhow. No joke is worth it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 15, 15:16 1
        
        I don't think anyone has an issue with, say a Morgan Freeman impression, assuming you're not doing blackface. - Reagen Feb 15, 15:33
I saw that the other day on instagram - imo, 2 are bad, 2 eh. there's a difference between blackface - b. Feb 15, 14:55
