Requiem is one of the most powerful pieces of art and truest representation of the human condition that exists.

I just love how when a white person paints their cheek a little darker , heaven forbid, and takes a small photo posing like normal they get canceled and deemed racist……but as soon as two black men's paint not just their face but whole bodies a different color and acts in a whole ahh movie pretending to sound and be like that color, its deemed "comedy genious"…..but thats none of my business, proceed i guess. I guess.

I ❤ that they made White Chicks before it was too late, and people were offended by every little thing. 🎉🎉🎉 You can't get away with making it now. Smh. I love the passion Marlon has for acting.
