The History of White Face

We all know the history of blackface… but what about the times Black celebs flipped it around and did white face? 

From Eddie Murphy undercover as a white guy on SNL, to the Wayans brothers in White Chicks, Chappelle clowning on stereotypes, Nick Cannon going full “Connor Smallnut,” and Druski turning NASCAR upside down. We’re breaking down the funniest, wildest, and most controversial moments of white face in comedy.

This ain’t a lecture it’s The Mancave Podcast. We’re laughing, and asking the question: is white face the ultimate satire or just another comedy tool?
