How do you feel about the video, folks?
How do you feel about the video, folks?
I am deeply impressed.
Cosplaying as another race is wrong on principle. But in practice, damn he really nailed it.
I also feel this is what’s called “fair use”. Sacha Baron Cohen did WAY worse, with WAY less subtlety. (Blackface, brownface, mocking entire nations,…)
More please
Oh dear. I've been made fun of. However shall I deal with not having to fear for my life on the odd chance the police pul me over now?
As long as he wasn't in drag, right maga? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah, MAGA wants this guy to know his place.
👀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣☠️
He pulled that shit off perfectly! AND as a white human, doesn’t offend me one damn bit. What’s good for the goose is right!
He had me convinced
I think it's hysterical and I'm white - job well done.
I think it raises some valid questions about how MAGA polices & criticizes other cultures & in doing so has created their own little inbred cultural bubble that they confine themselves to. Makes me wonder though if he'll next do a remake of New Jack City that'll be called Hilljack City.
Trump has been wearing orange-face all his life, but you don't see Ernie whining about it.
Damn, nailed it
When done in a respectful over the top comedic manner I’m ok with it because I’m intelligent enough to know it’s simply done to make us laugh and not believe it’s actually real maybe a few traits. Like Madea😂I got an Aunt with some of her traits. Robert Downy jr in “Tropical Thunder” Hilarious 😂😂
Just proving how these yokels expect Black folk to look and act in public.
The MAGAts are pissed because it's spot-on with how they normally look~!
Even Jesus gives it a thumbs up 😉
Ariana Grande made a fortune pretending to be Latina. At least he's honest about it.
Ahh yes double down in your racism, dont forget your good when you go out
Now she’s Korean. Let her cook. Maybe she’ll go for some lip discs next. Kids these days…
Wasted opportunity to troll fascist leaders/ICE thugs/MAGA minions. Props to the makeup artist. Otherwise: meh. Doesn't go hard or funny--so what's the point?
It was hilarious, and his makeup artist needs an award and national recognition!
It's funny.
Ok that is funny. Consider it payback for the times people did blackface.
Brilliant, loved it. 🤣
The irony and message will be lost on those who need to understand it most. It’s brilliant!
😂
The make-up is on point for a "good ole boy". 10 out of 10 to whoever was the artist that did that.
There's no such thing as white face
Satire should always be used to punch up. Good stuff
This Haole loves it.
I LOOOOOVE it!!!!
😂
Does it have it's roots in oppression? No it does not. Then it's fine.
Don't care. Never thought black face was a big deal either.
Good for him!!!
No problem
I think its funny
I think it's funny. Reminds me of the olden days way back in the 1900s when people could joke around.
I thought it was funny except the parts where he treats black people in a very racist way. I taught school for 28 years in the south and I never saw white people treating black people like he did. I know this treatment exists, but I never witnessed anything quite that bad.
Phenomenal makeup design.
it does not have the same bigoted racist undertone as black face so it it nothing
1st and most important, the joke MUST be funny. This wasn’t funny.
funniest shit i ever watched. and FLAWLESS body paint/makeup work from the MUAs
Good for him
🤣🤣🤣 had I not known this man was really black, I wooda just Assuumed he was another dumass white man.
In Western culture, white people are banned from wearing blackface because, historically, we did that to further abuse an oppressed people. Black people don't have a history of doing that to us. So, I don't know what the controversy is. Let them wear whiteface and make fun of us — we've earned it.
Give that makeup artist a raise!
Awesome! From old white guy in VA
Eerie how closely this resembles a “bubba” I knew in real life! Kudos for the makeup job and the acting. Also the bravery, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got death threats…. As for the moral and philosophical connotations, we live in a state where bubbas in trucks shout slurs at my kids. Fuck ‘em.
That’s awesome! We’re going to call it that from now on!🫡
Apples and oranges here, as many people have stated already. Blackface is rooted in furthering racist tropes and helped oppress. There is no such thing as ‘whiteface’.
Unbelievable make-up! Colbert and Kimmel to need book him immediately! Just annoyed the video is only on Twitter...
People okay with this better never say anything about folks in blackface.
Singing “Born in the USA” without a clue what it’s about was a nice touch, too…
Pretty funny! I would watch a reality show.
this is one of the funniest cultural appropriation skits i've seen in a while! lol
There is not a single culture, nationality, or history on Earth that could sincerely be offended/harmed by this. “Whiteface” as a term is blatant stupidity, and lacks any of the real inequality, hardship, mockery, and racism of the minstrel uses of blackface.
Turnabout is fair play
Maybe Generation snowflake will be confused.
Why not white people for years have painted their faces black
Cool Let's hope loads of Blackface ones about Black Fatigue start going up on YouTube, just for the lolz
Funny as fuck.
Great, let's try the shoe on the other foot for a bit!
I've been waiting so long to see this happen and watch white people kiss just bent the fuck out of shape
I'm all for it.
Well, he definitely nailed it. I'm as white as they come and it doesn't bother me.
It doesn’t bother me, but then I’m white and have never been subjected to discrimination.
Wait, I thought being “woke” was bad? If so? Then MAGA shouldn’t have a problem with it? Right??
Makeup is perfect!!!
He’s phenomenal! 👏👏👏😆 And anyway our president is a pedophile. Let’s all go to school yards with orange face!!
He looks like a completely different person.
Honestly I think it was a very well done performance and a perfect way to show certian types of people how they behave in public. He's very talented. When I first saw the vidieo I truly thought it was a white person acting out on their racism and did not see what the big deal it was.
This Eddie Murphy SNL sketch is a classic youtu.be/l_LeJfn_qW0?...
If someone wants to look different, what's the problem? I would more concerned if he were trying to look like ICE.
Druski’s did nothing wrong! It’s funny because he’s rightfully mocking the white racists!
That guy is a Fucking Genius!!!
Hilarious
This is exactly why comedy was invented.. 🤗
Whoever did his makeup is fantastic. I loved this but was uncomfortable with the way he treated the black men but I think that was the point
Omg he nailed it!!
It really just doesn't bother me
The makeup is amazing!
Now that's funny!!
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Plenty of white folks have done the same in reverse. It makes a point.
Blackface has a long, wide spread history of being used to perpetuate stereotypes and as a tool to denigrate and marginalize minorities. Whiteface, by contrast, is a relatively new and rare act used to invert the trope and subvert expectations. Apples and oranges.
Rare, yes. But not that new. Consider Melvin Van Peebles’s brilliant 1970 movie satire “Watermelon Man,“ starring Godfrey Cambridge as an obnoxious bigoted white insurance salesman who wakes up one morning as a black man.
Well I'm glad there's no perpetuating stereotypes and denigrating in this video!
It's leaps and bounds better than the makeup and acting used in Soulman (Hollywood was insane with that one). Bravo sir, very entertaining. Now he needs to go whiteface and natural, using the same resume, apply for jobs and see the results.
I think if people agree blackface isn't okay, this shouldn't be okay either. It is really well done makeup though, like wow!
I’m White and I thinks it’s funny. I’m not offended at all.
Why not?? It’s done the other way round so I have nothing against it.
Well, he does white guy makeup better than Donald does. He’s got that going for him.
'White Chicks' Wayans brothers Anyone? 😉
Absolutely brilliant! Wow! I love this guy. Fuk the rednecks and I have been to NASCAR events. It's exactly like the stereotypes are. So he played and played with the rednecks. Fine with me, it's a goof, a good joke, joke's on the redasses, it's fun to play. No harm done, that's the main thing.
White face is not analogous to black face. Different history and different intent.
Give this man an Oscar, pronto!!!
I think it's hilarious and we need to see more of this kind of thing while everyone can get away with it. You see, if you are ridiculing the group in power, that is okay, encouraged even. I suspect that at some point (soon?) this will be frowned upon as taking advantage of powerless minorities.
Only stupid racists are offended by it. The dumbest of the dumb. The biggest losers. They can all get fucked if they are offended.
It sure is a Look.
The whole 'blackface' is racist stuff is claptrap. Minstrel shows are racist. Blackface isn't. In England Othello wears blackface on stage In Netherlands Zwarte Pete is Santa Clause's sidekick and he wears blackface
I am not offended by any sincere attempt at comedy or satires (including Robert Downey or Jean Smart in blackface), but would he truly have been treated very differently by NASCAR fans if he went as himself? (Even if it is a mostly "white space")
So that make up artist deserves an award firstly, right? We can all agree there. As a white person, please consider doing “whiteface” non stop. We know who the only ones offended by “whiteface” are, right? Keep doing it. Make them uncomfortable and upset so they speak out so we know who they are.
I’m not sure how I feel about it…
Like I don't want to laugh my ass into the rabbit hole.
LMFAO THE SUNBURN TANLINES
Feel like he played an authentic satirical caricature, unlike every version of blackface ever done that belittles and insults black people. The makeup artists deserts an award for the effect they achieved.
It’s hilarious.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
Good for hiim... how many time have white folks donned black face? Turnabout is fair play.
won't someone think of the white people?!?!? /s
Doesn't bother me none.
Sacha Baron Cohen level 10.
Personally I could care less.
He did it to troll a specific type of white person and that type fell for the rage bait.
I couldn't even tell it was white face the first time I saw it.
Why not? Black face was a common thing. Our turn.
They did say comedy was back
SNL did it in the 80s
I think he pulls it off better than some of the white dudes.
If you're white and get uncontrollably angry at his actions, then congratulations, because you've experienced a full 0.01% of the BS that Black and Brown people have had to deal with for the past 400 years. Get over it.
Too busy caring about actual news and world problems
Nailed it... 😂
Direct from the holler, double wide, beer and meemaw . At least he refrained from a Maga hat. That's more than acceptable.
Pretty funny actually, the sunburnt tattoos look is perfect. I'm sure it upset a few snowflakes.
Not a big deal unless you don't understand the underlying context
looks fine to me! good job to the makeup artist!
Hilarious 😂
It’s comedy , who is he hurting ? We have a president convicted of rape and this is controversial ?
What controversy?
Oh, god, this is unbelievably delicious.
This is bullshit. They bitch up and down about white people doing blackface. This isn't ok either.
"They bitch up and down . . ." Who are you referring to? Who is "they"?
Why not in the land of Freedom, Justice and Democracy
It's punching up, and it made a point. I think it's perfectly fine, and well done.
You’re joking… right??
Let's clarify. Do you think it's wrong for him to do white-face, or that black-face shouldn't be demonized and it's unfair and neither should be?
I think both are wrong. Period. Nobody should be trying to dress up as another race to act like them. Its the same for the kids in school who used to do that Chinese Japanese dirty knees thing. It was racially insensitive
Thanks! People's tolerance will be different from yours, because some people view it as punching up versus punching down. That tends to be something people hold an opinion of in comedy
I didn't like how he was racist to random black people. I hope they explained it was a prank after. But even still no one needs that.
Unfortunately, that was "Tuesday" to some of the black people he encountered. It will barely register in their memory files.
Wow! Impressive makeup! Just made me laugh. :-)
Anyone who actually thinks that "whiteface" exists is an absolute bellend. Please learn a bit of fuckin' history.
Turnabout is fair play.
Whoever did the makeup for Druski is 100x more qualified than the person doing Trump's makeup, especially on his hand lately.
Right? The person doing Trump's makeup hates him
I love it. Just remember they see it as justification for their blackface activities.
You could make the case this is punching down, I guess. Though it would be funny as hell to make redneck the new "r slur."
After all these years, I guess we had it coming 🤷🏼♂️
This may be unpopular... I think that other races putting on "whiteface" to mock people is no better than white people putting on blackface or any other stereotypical "satire." Making fun or race BY ANYONE is wrong. I'm not talking about appreciating a style, here. The intent is everything.
His name is Druski. He’s known for his accurate comedic skits. He’s also #1 on Rolling Stones list of top content creators. Check him out on all socials. One of my faves.
Mayo Bitch here - White people have spent hundreds of years killing and oppressing black people, and even after slavery and segregation, we still treat them like shit with things like blackface, stereotypes, and systemic racism. After all we’ve done, you’d have to be a real ❄️ to be offended by this
BRILLIANT!
Conflicted.
Pretty sure it's been done before.
Druski is hilarious :)
That's hilarious. The only thing part of that outfit that doesn't hold up is the wig. Just amazing. 9/10.
It's funny AF, and anyone is upset about it is just a pearl clutcher, cause "whiteface" isn't a thing.
Makeup artist 10/10
I think the makeup artist deserves an award. And they're only mad cuz he did such a great job mimicking the racist white people that are offended 🤷🏼♀️
It's hilarious
The people who are offended by this are the same who says that a blackface isn't racist.
True statement but they don’t really think it’s racist they’re just angry at the perceived hypocrisy.
The only thing that was offensive to me was when he was being racist to random black people
Others have pointed out that all of those men are part of his group. He didn't do that to random guys. It was uncomfortable to watch, but they were in on it.
you think the camera guy gave it away?
No, bc idiots record everything anymore. I mean, Ahmaud Arbery 🤷♀️
Impressive. I hope he apologized later to those Black guys he spat at tho.
I think that's some bold comedy. Love the sunburn lines.
it really sells it. Like that is some dedication.
Me too 🤣🤣
I am white and I thought it was hilarious!
Honestly not offended but... Imitating other people just so you can make fun of them is a bit of a dick move. It makes me uncomfortable but I accept that there's a lot of history on one side of this balance!
I think it's sort of cool looking. Hey-- white people have been doing blackface for years.
I think it’s spot on and hilarious! Get over yourselves people!!!
I'm actually stunned how passable the act and look are lol
Hilarious
Fucking hilarious!
When one is forced to exist as a marginalised person inside the dominant social paradigm, one is perfectly entitled to mock that paradigm. Well done, and that makeup artist needs some kind of award!
What's good for the goose.....
Well he nailed the white trailer trash act pretty good. Spitting on the ground in front of those blacks guys was cringe as hell.
incredible, he did so good
I hope the right people are mad ..
I have no issue with this at all, nor with blackface. Acting requires an actor to portray someone they are not.
"... nor with blackface." Sounds to me like you play a lot of video games, don't read many books.
I do both.
Meh. Though I'm sure there are so, SOOOO many people who will tell me how I'm supposed to feel about it.
Very funny.
I'm 67, a white woman, from FL. It's possible I was related, by marriage, to this personage. 🤷♀️ ☹️ I am sorry he spat at 2 black men tho; if they weren't in on it, it's not comedy; those poor men. 🫤 It's not equal to blackface. Maybe some people are too sensitive. Most humor has truth in it.
As a white man, I am ok with this. Whiteface is not a thing. Blackface has a racist history, THAT is why it is bad.
Whoever did the makeup needs a round of applause 👏👏👏 Thought these were two different people at first.
Brilliant make up job but apart from that who cares. I think only racists would be offended by this as most normal people would feel turnaround is fair play. White people have been doing blackface for a century built on slavery and genuine degrading of a race.
This makeup work and his affectations are UNREAL 🤯🤯🤯
I can’t remember if Eddie Murphy got flak when he did it. We also have to consider MAGATS and their tender fragility youtu.be/l_LeJfn_qW0?...
Genius
That’s an incredible makeup job
This was funny as hell. Im more concerned about I t his Diddy connections than his comedy.
I haven’t watched the video. Just in general: Just because someone (aka racist white people) has done racist stuff under the guise of comedy, doesn’t mean other people (aka racist poc people) should do it. Racism does not „belong“ to white people. I don’t appreciate it either way.
Please consider reading through the comments for greater understanding of racism and the issues.
I do understand. I feel very strongly about this issue, believe me. My grandfather was incarcerated in a Nazi camp. I despise people who hate people just because they are different than them. But I also feel very strongly about „whiteface“. I just don’t find it funny. Even though the makeup was fab!
Tbh as a lily white dude it's pretty damn hilarious 😂 got a hand it to whoever did the makeup that is a 10/10 job
“Funny” (but not “haha funny”) how NOBODY bats an eyelid when eg Sacha Baron Cohen mocks Kazachs or Muslims, but ooh wee don’t we mistrust an uppity black man RECLAIMING blackface & turning the tables. This is subtle satire, with huuuge *COJONES*!
The difference is this: The quality of the comedy. If the satire is good, the stereotype is lighthearted, accurate, dead on. It is ok. Sasha Cohen, Robert Downey jr, Chapelle, Eddie Murphy. all nailed it. If you are so some fucking frat boy, royal heir, ceo at a Halloween party . Not funny. .
The very defenition and foundation of the concept of racism requires an oppressed minority. White people are NOT an oppressed minority.
it’s hilarious not to mention his make-up is amazing
Now THAT's FUNNY! "Lets Go Brandon!"
Brilliant make up job.
I get it.
Brilliant. "are you sure about that, BOY?" Can watch that for hours. Shows the American obsession with skin color is good for nothing.
I think its brilliant and will show the hypocrisy of many Americans
Epic
As a white person, I find it hilarious. Well done!
brilliant!
I think he nailed it! I have been to NASCAR races - this is spot on!
I think if it were a white man putting on “black face” it would be 100 times more controversial. For myself, I don’t find it humorous.
Hard to keep in mind the character depicted isn't real. The guy is a true actor that deserves recognition for his artistic abilities. The subject matter is unsettling.
