It all comes down to “Are you under a duty to not offend the easily-and-chronically-offended?”

Those pics (or video clips of such) would make great commercials.

Run them when Jimmy Kimmel’s show is on.

They were demeaning; if you disagree, well we’ll have to agree to disagree.

Watch and see.... I predict non-black kids will not be allowed to wear Black Panther costumes this Halloween by the unhinged left.

Minstrel shows were great fun and did NOT demean blacks as the left would have you believe.

We studied minstrel shows in Music History class. That was an interesting period.
