"Black face in 2017. I just want to say this is NOT acceptable!!!!! We are not for comic purposes. This should stop now!!!!! I'm highly disappointed. NO MORE BLACKFACE!!! Or any sort of discrimination against any group or race.


All the prejudices, racial discrimination, colorism should stop with immediate effect. Let's stop this!!!!"
