Tom Hanks, Glenn Frey in 2004: ‘Blackface,’ race jokes at fundraising auction

Tom Hanks, Glenn Frey in 2004: ‘Blackface,’ race jokes at fundraising auction. The narrator of Obama’s “The Road We’ve Travelled” was filmed walking on the wrong side of the politically-correct tracks. “In response to the video, Congress of Racial Equality national spokesperson Niger Innis has called on President Obama to remove Hanks’ narration from his campaign film.” Obama’s proxies calling every opponent raaaaacist makes silly stuff like this fair game.

  • This would cause a lot of embarrassment in LA...except Progressives are incapable of such feelings. What they will do is start a witch hunt to find out who spilled the beans.

  • This fundraiser took place at St.Matthew's parish school in California. Both Hanks and Frey had children attending school there. I always assumed Hanks was Jewish for some reason, but a little research just told me that he has Catholicism and Mormonism in his family and was an evangelical Christian for a bit as a teenager. By being the voice of the Obama re-election video, I guess Hanks may have moved onto my don't see their movies list.

  • It's okay, Hanks is a liberal and, as such, cannot be a racist. It's like Bill Maher using vile language in describing women, that's okay too, since Bill is a big time liberal and incapable of waging war on women. Being liberal is getting a life time pass to do all sorts of politcally incorrect things, so we see Roman Polanski's sodomy of a 13 year old being being excused by Whoopi Goldberg as not being "rape rape". It's one liberal giving another that free pass.

  • This is completely different!! These people are Hollywood illiteratti demokrat party members in good standing.

  • Wow. Who knew Tom Hanks was so classless, but then again he is an Obama fan. It is okay to be racist or to do racists jokes as long as you are a socialist/liberal elite.
