This morning I was on my way to indulge in a Starbuck’s Chai Creme Frappucino. I was listening to a local radio station, 101.5 Jamz, and one of the morning hosts was at the Tropic Thunder premiere last night. She discussed that those that were offended by Robert Downey Jr playing a “black man” would understand after watching the movie.
Then the conversation turned to the controversy around the use of the “R Word” and the host, Corina, said that those who were offended by the use of the word in the movie were “stupid.” I have been listening to this show for quite some time and while I don’t always agree with everything I’ve heard, I don’t think I’ve ever been so offended.
Corina seems like a pretty cool gal but to say those of us who were offended by the use of the word are “stupid” because we haven’t seen the movie and the movie explains the use of the word was rather upsetting to me. I instantly changed the station as I couldn’t take it anymore.
