Druski‘s viral NASCAR skit sparked a good ol’ fashioned down-home racial debate across America — totally the type of comedy the world needs, says Brandon T. Jackson.

Movie buffs remember Brandon’s portrayal in the 2008 Ben Stiller-directed comedy blockbuster “Tropic Thunder” as “Alpa Chino” … the rapper stranded in the jungle who told Robert Downey Jr.‘s character — who was in blackface — his hijinks weren’t appreciated.
TMZ Hip Hop linked with Brandon following the Druski firestorm, and he says canceling Druski would be like canceling RDJ’s unforgettable performance in “Tropic Thunder” … no dice!!!
RDJ stayed in “Black-man” character even when the cameras weren’t rolling, according to Brandon, and he may have done the same … he’s patented and selling Alpa Chino’s “Booty Sweat” energy drink from the film.
Brandon says there’s a fine line between comedy and crassness and Druski toed that line just right, no different than The Wayans Brothers’ iconic “White Chicks” films and Dave Chappelle‘s “Chuck Taylor” character.
