Tropic Thunder had input, support, and consent of the black community?
I don't believe it was, no. I said what I think should be done, not necessarily how things have been done.
I still think Tropic Thunder did it well, since it's not making fun of black people, it's making fun of how out of touch white people can be. I'm basing that off what Brandon T Jackson and other black performers have said about it in the years following its release.
