I get your point, but there is something to be said about walking a mile in another man's shoe. Experiencing it yourself will always be more impactful.

This has nothing to do with anything you're talking about.

People suck at reporting on their experiences. Like, good luck knowing what garlic bread is like without eating some. “Oh just ask someone who’s eaten garlic bread. White men never LiStEn”

Wanna know the black experience? Why go through the trouble of finding a black person and listening?

Because blackface will cause me new issues that I chose not to experience.

But none of them will tell him: "did you know we have to wait in line for our coffee?"

I actually agree with you, but I also don’t think it’s realistic to expect people to be “real” around a celebrity.
