WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? THIS IS NOT BLACKFACE! HE PLAYED A DAMN CHIMNEY SWEEP!
DO THESE PEOPLE NOT KNOW WHAT THAT IS?!
HAVE THEY NOT SEEN THE FILM?!
I CAN NOT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH THIS AGGRAVATED ME.
PEOPLE WILL FIND ANY REASON TO BE ANNOYED.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS NOW.
I AGREE THAT BLACKFACEING IS WRONG. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!
IN THE FILM, DICK VAN DYKE PLAYS THE CHARACTER CALLED 'BURT.' HE IS A YOUNG ADULT IN VICTORIAN LONDON WHOM IN WITH HAS MULTIPLE OCCUPATIONS. ONE OF THEM BEING A CHIMNEY SWEEP.
IT IS BECAUSE OF THIS HE LOOKS THE WAY HE DOES. HE IS COVERED IN SOOT WITCH IS BECAUSE HE IS CLEANING SOOT FILLED CHIMNEYS.
