Why is it okay for a black man to make this movie?

There's no way a white filmmaker could make a movie that wants to perpetuate so many negative stereotypes about African Americans. Watching the trailers every single joke was completely insulting, I don't see how anyone could find this funny. I don't think it should be considered okay because it's Marlon Wayans. Why should racist behavior be accepted by anyone? Are we really saying black people can't be racist against other black people? Obviously we have freedom in this country and anyone should be able to make whatever movie they want but it's weird that people are okay with this because it's a black filmmaker.

You're going out of your way to make this a race issue.

I enjoy laughing WITH someone more than I enjoy laughing at them. If a woman makes a movie that pokes fun at women, it'll seem way funnier to me than if a man does the same. And of course vis-versa.

I only read your first sentence. Stop whining and just don't watch the dumbass movie.

FYI the director of this movie is white.

Marlon Wayans may have written the script, but the director is a white man.

You're getting way more offended than anyone else is at this movie.

Thank you!! If white people made a stupid comedy to spoof Straight Outta Compton, the $#it would hit the fan and the world world be in an uproar. But it's ok for them to make these dumb movies, then gripe because they didn't get nominated for an award for this immature nonsense.

Please tell me this is sarcasm.

Revenge is the most important meal of the day.
