Video footage obtained by The Daily Caller shows Hollywood screen legend Tom Hanks and Eagles musician Glenn Frey at a 2004 fundraising auction, playfully interacting with a white man dressed as an African native, complete with blackface makeup and a giant Afro wig.
Hanks most recently provided the narration for ”The Road We’ve Traveled,” a 17-minute-long campaign video meant to help President Barack Obama win re-election in November.
The fundraiser, held March 13, 2004 at St. Matthew’s Parish School in Pacific Palisades, Calif., featured Hanks and Frey as co-emcees. Children of both men attended the school. The event’s theme, “Castaways,” evoked memories of the 2000 film “Cast Away,” in which Hanks starred.
Actor Tom Hanks is seen at a 2004 school fundraising auction, along with a white investment adviser who wore blackface makeup and a giant Afro wig The 2004 auction’s routine included a white man in blackface, identified in the footage as investment banker James Montgomery, CEO of the Santa Monica, Calif., firm Montgomery & Co. In addition to blackface makeup and the wig, Montgomery wore a leopard-print toga and an arm band made to look like it consisted of animal teeth.
During a lull in the auction, Frey refers to Montgomery and comments, “See how boring money management and stock investment is, people? It’s not nearly as much fun as, like, professional basketball.”

nope just saying I want fresh scandal not old scandal about the depraved
Hanks has been calling everyone/ mostly republicans a racist since then. This just shows his hypocrisy.
Of course. Smug, self-congratulatory progressivs are only ridiculing their inferiors: Backward, racist haters out in flyover.
You can say anything you want as long as you are a liberal. Look at Maher.
Exactly. Look how they went after Perry for some sign that was suppose to be on his property...
It’s always odd to deal with a conservative who doesn’t know what you and I know... Who buys into the MSM line? Amazing.
Have you seen this yet?
