Disagree. It was accepted by the mostly white people producing these things and watching these things.
Do you really think bigoted behaviour that was once “acceptable” was accepted by all people? Including the minorities that were being discriminated against, mocked, and oppressed?
It was once acceptable to hit your wife. And marital rape wasn’t a thing. According to the law and society it was acceptable. But do you think the wives EVER liked or accepted this? Hell no
Black Face was either done to mock and belittle black people. Or when it was done somewhat “respectfully”, it was still being done to avoid hiring actual black people for those roles.
People were against black face back then. Just like there were people against slavery when it was legal.
It was wrong now and it was wrong then
