The episode of "madness" with the participation of Blackfia will be available unchanged when the Drama series AMC returns online by the end of the current month. Studio Lionsgate will not delete this series, nor cut outless frames, but will be limited to the corresponding disclaimer. Blackfia (that is, the "black face") is a type of make-up, which used white actors to - often caricature - to portray a black man. In the "madness" in this image appears the hero of John Slingter.
The official statement of Lionsgate is about this:
This episode contains anxious images associated with a racial issue in America. One of the characters is shown in the form of Blackfia in an episode that demonstrates how everywhere there was racism in America of the 1963 sample. Relying on historical authenticity, the producers of the series are forced to show injustice and inequality within our society. These problems are still relevant, but we can explore even more painful pages of our story to figure out what we present today and who we want to become. For this reason, we present the original episode in all its completeness.
"Madness" is not the only series that faced problems due to the image of Blackfia against the background of a new wave of protests against racial inequality and offensive stereotypes. Such TV shows also hit Studio 30, "Office", "Community" and "Golden Girls".
