I’m watching The Man Who Talked Too Much (1940), in which black actor Napoleon Simpson plays William Lovelace Jackson, a Pullman porter (passenger rail staff, and a typical African American stereotype role in films of the era). In long shots his palms & fingernails are lighter colored as is normal in dark skinned people, but in closeup we see #blackface makeup on his hands & nails. Dark makeup was often applied to actors of color, but I’ve never seen it taken to this #racist extreme. #TCMparty
Oh yeah! Biden was losing to Trump in 6 out of the 8 swing states, now Harris is beating Trump in 6 out of 8, greatly reduced the loss margin in the 7th one, and turned that 8th one from a loss to a tie.
