People got a little mad about it at the time, if I recall, and the usual defenses of "well Billy Crystal did Sammy Davis Jr." etc. were made, and then it was forgotten.
I'm getting tired of the bored kids on Twitter bringing something old up every 8-12 hours and screaming bloody murder about it.

R8 at this point when they’re dragging up SNL sketches from two DECADES ago it’s just about power grabs to get off on their ability to create drama. They love watching their shares and likes build. I don’t think they actually care about a cause, it’s all ego.

Al Roker gave Megyn Kelly a super hard time after what she said. Did he speak up about his own network doing this for decades?

The race-baiting threads are in overdrive. Russia used social media to amlify divisiveness and specifically used race as a wedge point, which helped Trump win.

How is their pointless bitchery on Twitter any different than the pointless bitchery here. It’s all pointless nonsense that didn’t necessarily need to be publicly expressed. Thanks to the internet we all have a platform to share a lot things that we could have and in many cases should have kept to ourselves.

I don’t care for Fallon; his humor is often sophomoric and stupid. And he should not have done the sketch in blackface. But the “cancel-culture,” dredging up this stuff from two decades ago is ridiculous and absurd. I don’t care. He apologized. And, it’s not who he is today.
Find something else to be outraged about. There’s plenty.

If people want to "cancel" Fallon over this where are the calls to cancel Lorne Michaels? He runs the show, he is responsible for what goes on air.

I wonder if the SJWs will go after those sketches of Will Forte and Nasim Pedrad playing the Chinese president and his interrupter.
Nasim Pedrad got ripped to shreds when she impersonated Azis Ansari.

All I can think of is how many people worked on his tweet apology. There must’ve been PR people agents managers probably like 10 people crafting what he should say. 🙄

Agree 100%. Fallon is a hack, but are we just going to go back and dredge up every little comment and thing people said and did 20 years ago? It's tiresome.

This reminds me a bit of when Jill Solloway went after SNL for the Pat sketches in the 90s. There are a couple of Pat sketches that have been scrubbed from NBC's site.

You know it’s probably not even black people who are outraged about this stupid shit. It’s likely some white female, “Pan sexual”, fatty with blue hair, and a tumblr devoted to Benedict Cumberbatch who dug this up.

I actually liked “soul man” but you wouldn’t be able to make that film today, because everyone is constantly offended by everything. You might as well shut the world out.

I have thought it is odd how MadTV and Alex Borstein rarely got slammed for Miss Swan, yet SNL frequently gets slammed for similar sketches and characters. Several years back, two Latina comedians Jenni Ruiza and Jesenia went after SNL because they were mad about Cecily Strong playing Latinas in sketches. Those comedians had a youtube channel and twitter pages were they talked about MadTV being more diverse than SNL which is true. However, I thought it was hypocritical that they frequently bitched about Strong playing Latings, yet they never bitched about how Nicole Sullivan played a Latina on MadTV.

Then again, Eddie Murphy got to do that famous SNL sketch in "whiteface."
And the Brothers Wayans got to insult "White Chicks" on the big screen.
No outrage whatsomever.
