Fake news, they would have shot him already.
I agree with your statement but there's some truth to the meme. It'll be less than 6 months before these social workers are demanding police escorts because they keep getting attacked during their non violent interactions.

It's a white guy mocking black culture. Seems in poor taste to me.
Well, then I guess any show created by someone of X race, that has Y race in the cartoon is in poor test then. Seems very thin skinned to say Cleveland is mocking black culture.

Or are you saying only white people can mock other white people, black people are only allowed to mock other black people, etc etc? Because that sounds a whole lot like segregation.

I mean, maybe I see this in a little different light also since I believe we have the largest voice actor industry around.
As an example the dude speaking Denzel Washington is also speaking Jason Statham. So whatever the color of his skin may be, it would differ to one character for sure. But who cares?
Actually saw a lot of tweets on my twitter today that appeared to be from black people complaining about this. General gist is, ok if you want to do that, but we didn't ask for that, we asked to stop being murdered. So it seems like a bunch of people on both sides are frustrated by this stuff maybe taking away from the real issue. But otoh, these actors are taking proactive steps to avoid having their long-term careers possibly "cancelled" in this nutty climate.

Cleveland regularly makes black jokes that no white person would ever consider making in public.

Regarding your second question, it's not up to me to make decisions for others although in this case I believe he made the correct one. In terms of your segregation statement specifically "We'll just get a white guy to play a black guy." Is a direct call back what happened during segregation not the other way around.

Should black comedians stop making jokes about white people? I don't think so, that'd be fucking silly.

It's well within his rights to decide he doesn't want to, I just think it's fucking stupid.

And when superheroes are turned gender or minority, all of the sudden race or gender doesn't matter, what's the big deal right? Hypocrisy.

The same crowd that urges characters to be voiced by same race, have no problem with a traditionally white character, be played by a black person. They defend it by claiming it is just race, get over it.
Interesting, personally I could give a shit what race a super hero is, it's a fictional character, have a blast with who and what they are. I still don't understand why people got upset about black panther or the female super heros at the end of end game.
