Remove the article or change the title because it is misleading and wrong. It was a mud mask hulu!

This doesn't help. This doesn't tell anyone that racism is bad. This is erasing history. By making the episode inaccessible, you're just hiding your shame and pretending it never happened.

It's not blackface, you magnificent idiots. Even if it was, you seem to think it's alright if Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Joy Behar, and Ralph Northam do it. Kinda makes you seem like hypocrites. But then, that's essentially what liberals are.

hulu I get the point but this is OVERREACTING. Were people offended by it? I don't think so. Now they are.

it's not black face.

They weren't in blackface. They had mud on their faces--like a skin treatment--and Betty's character, who is given to saying kind of sweety dumb things, said 'we aren't really black.' It wasn't awful. The rest of the episode was great, actually.

Typical. Take a ridiculous action that has nothing to do with the actual issue. hulu Give me a break.

coming from someone who owns every episode of the show on dvd. it was not blackface. it’s a mudmask. get your facts straight chief

It was a mud mask.

Fake News. They were wearing beauty masks made of clay. Stirring up shit.

Betty White is NOT a racist. Betty White has always been a trailblazer for equality in Hollywood. (Producers, directors, & writers are another story!)

All this does is confirm that people are stupid. How does this make things better... in fact these decisions are making things worse. insane stophelping

More corporations pandering to the BLM Marxists or they think they’ll lose all their money! Pfft. More virtue signaling under fake pretense!

It is NOT 'blackface' 🤦🏻‍♂️ ... 😡

This is one of my favorite episodes of Golden Girls. Those roasts are hilarious and hulu is stupid. Ain't none of my shows on now anyway so I might cancel & save my lil $13 a month

I have seen that episode & they were not black faced - it was mud masks. Some of the attitudes in the episode were racist - but from both white & black characters. The black mother didn’t what her daughter marrying ‘a skinny white boy’. This is one of the greatest comedies ever!

Are darker skinned people banned from using white face creams? Just trying to understand the rules.

I know all 180 episodes and consider this particular episode more questionable on the attitude towards white people when Michael (a skinny little white boy) is dating a black woman called Loraine.

all this does is cause division, not one black person is offended by a mud mask. does Hulu think black people are made of mud?

This is not what we want! We love the golden girls. That show is not the problem

It's was a mud mask

A mud mask is not blackface! A mud mask is a beauty treatment that women of all races get. So please, stop projecting your own racism on everyone else!

Pathetic.

Nothing speaks to social justice more than the removal of Golden Girls.

Just ridiculous, everything is not a racist! This is the problem educate yourself and stand up for what's right when it comes to your fellow human being! Overreacting is not going to solve the problem that has been around for hundreds of years.Making equal rights for all is!

FFS is everyone just trying to outdo the crazy

Mud masks are blackface now. 😂 Thinking mud masks are blackface and that the Golden Girls are racist is some serious white person nonsense.

Protesters: STOP KILLING US. TV shows: whatever the fuck this is

What's next removing boxes of charcoal mask or the por strips.

So ridiculous if mud makes are bad then every store and online place should immediately cease selling charcoal masks too stoptheinsanity

WOW..Sensitive much?

This is stupid

For God’s sake! This lunacy is going way too far!!!

Otherwise known as a FACE MASK!!!

It's not Blackface hulu_support its mud mask! And anyone who has actually SEEN the episode would understand. This is is just DUMB!

hulu NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS. Get some Balck people in decision making positions that can educate you on what is actually racist. This performative allyship Hurts the Movement

Guess they need to pull all those charcoal black masks they sell in stores now too...bunch and of morons

What a JOKE. That wasn't racist. They were using their skin care, for goodness sake. Use your skin care, ladies, no matter the color.

They weren't in blackface and this sort of meaningless nonsense does nothing to address institutional racism and oppression.

Great they took out the best episodes.

How stupid do you have to be not to know what facial masks are and how often women use them?

It's facial mud masks! Not blackface. This is absurd. No one asked for this! Get some black folks on the Hulu board...smdh...

Oh FFS hulu this is not helpful. Mud masks are not blackface.

It's a mud mask, not blackface. Enough with the click bait melodramatic headlines

Oh, FFS!!

Cancel Mrs Doubtfire too!

Really bad decision, hulu It’s not blackface. Do right by knowing the difference!

hulu This is ridiculous. Nobody asked for this. It's a mud mask FFS. This isn't helpful, it's performative nonsense and undermines the real issues.

Beauty mud masks isn’t blackface

they were literally mud masks...

Good Grief HULU they have on mud mask. Don't take this overboard. Q,

who asked for this. 😐

Stop. Just stop. hulu this is just stupid even in the context of the episode

China's Government APPROVES Blackface, and teaches Blacks Are subhumans, pays them less, and bans them from entering places and renting rooms. But hey... the Liberal left STILL BUYING 'MADE IN CHINA' and flying the flag 🇨🇳at their protests for Blacks?🤔

Cancel an episode that was all about tolerance and acceptance? Brilliant.....

Literally NOBODY asked for this . Mud masks are for your face ? It wasn’t blackface Y’all trying us now

It's a bloody mud mask lol, what's next coal miners?

A bit ridiculous. They're in mud face meeting the future in laws of one of their son's black fiancé or something like that. And Rose says something dumb like ' we're not black.' Typical dumb Rose move. Actions like this takes away from the issue and gives opposition fodder

-It's not blackface it's a mask -Stop the useless pandering for fuck sake. Even black people are calling out how ridiculous it is now.

We are ignoring the REAL BLEEDING SORE of RACISM instead picking at every little bump on the over sensitive flesh of TV executives ! STOP OVER THINKING RACISM and STOP GUESSING...Open a real dialogue with people who count!!

You people are a joke. You know it was mud masks because you just said it was mud masks yet you still write black face. Absolute clown journalism. And huck Fulu. hulu

It's too bad Hulu doesn't run the state of Virginia.

🤦🏻‍♀️

This is pretty bad reporting. They aren’t in “black face”. They’re wearing mud packs on their faces. The episode itself deals with interracial marriage, really quite delicately.

Oh and just for the record The Golden Girls was one of the best shows ever...

Umm Hulu this was unnecessary. I'm Black and the context of that episode is still relevant today. The girls were in mudface, not Blackface. Put the episode back ASAP

This is why it's hard and cringy talking about racism with white folks. You do these things out of context when no one asked for it. Nobody asked for you to jump the gun hulu

I want to see the photos of who made this decision, because it is smelly nonsense no one asked for

This is just so stupid, Hulu now you are taking this to far with removing great episodes of a legendary show.😡

This is insanity.

THEY WERE MUD FACE MASKS. YOU'RE A LARGE NEWS MAGAZINE. FACT CHECK THINGS BEFORE YOU POST THEM!

Literally no body asked for this! NOBODY. I watch Golden Girls every night and this one is one of my favorite episodes. STOP IT hulu

I don't recall anyone being offended by this episode. Decisions like this aren't real solutions. Start using the brains and common sense that God gave you, people.

I thought they were in mud masks? Can we stop the fucking insanity please

Yall fucking with the golden girls now and yall can catch these hands.

AINT NOBODY ASK YALL FOR THIS!? Bitch put it back!!

Proof that things have gotten out of control.

And yet Amazon Prime still sells, “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot”.

❤️The retweet to like ratio. You guys are doing this on purpose. You're making a mockery of the movement! A lot of black people already know that they were wearing face masks & it was just a inconvenient moment. You want to make us seem petty Stop canceling voice actors and shows

It. Was. A. Mud. Mask. Not. Blackface.

Does 'blackface' have a definition beyond just applying a substance to one's skin that is darker than one's natural skin tone?

This is what happens when liberal virtue signaling gets out of control. smh...

RJCity1

It's a mud mask🤷🏾‍♂️😖🤦🏾‍♂️

Stupidity

Facial make up treatments are now racist!

To all Black folks asking 4 restoration think it over. We can't fear this.They know what their doing both then & now. Its better to let them be careful and stay away from the edges. There are lots of color mask they could have selected then so why mud? We can't be backlashed Now!

Hey hulu Th Golden Girls remains a timeless classic because they covered issues a lot of shows wouldn't and always did with with class and a bit of humor. Taking an episode off that has a great message because of mud masks is stupid and misses the point of the episode. 🤦‍♀️

😄😄😄

hulu as a subscriber let me say you are taking this too far! Are you making a joke or what? Do you not know the differences btw mud mask and blackface?

Golden Girls was ahead of the times. They made us laugh but brought messages to the audience; racism, Gay rights, HIV, senior healthcare, homelessness. This particular episode was 1meeting her future daughter-in-law/family which were black. While 2 were using mud facial treatment

we literally don't care

So are stores not allowed to sell facial mud anymore for at home and spas? It’s a FACIAL CLEANER. This is insanity.

Why? I have that episode on CD & they were wearing mud mask beauty treatment which was expressed in dialogue. No wonder I never watch HULU

I will join Cancel Culture & Cancel hulu today. Great job, asskissers.

This is NOT what black ppl are asking for. Yall are doing everything but what we're asking for. Us: We want Justice Yall: ok. *draws BLM mural, cancel shows that have nothing to do with black face, stop a white man from voicing Cleveland on Family Guy'

Lawyers 🙄

Knock it off wypipo!!!! Stop overcorrecting.

It was a mud mask

Just deleted you. byehulu

Performative bullshit trying to undermine a movement with absurdities. Hulu isn't clueless here.

I use a charcoal mask will they be pulled of the market? This is ridiculous the RW will use this against us. Kneejerk reactions not thought out well. Hulu

Well while they're at how about they pull White Chick's off circulation then too huh!? 💁‍♀️...I mean I sure wasn't offended because it's all in fun and comedy... 'NOT RACISM' but it's the same thing the other way around, so I'm just saying! 🤷‍♀️

What a joke you are, Hulu. That's the best you got?

Seriously!? Omg! This is getting ridiculous. People really need to get a f'ing grip now! 🙄

It wasn't black face, it was a mud mask. Jesus.

No one wanted this. This is stupid. Demand to hold police accountable.

I remember in this episode Blanche and Rose trying to lose some weight and wearing mud mask which is clarified by Rose. They did this because they are going for date or something. I also remember this is also episode where Michael marrying an older African American woman.

What is wrong with the Hollywood reporter. This feels like irresponsible journalism. No one cares about Betty in a mud mask. No one asked for this and no one cares about this.

Don't mess with THE GOLDEN GIRLS.

Any intention of correcting this tweet, or the headline?

Dear, Hulu.

Hell No!! WTF is happening?!! They were clearly doing facials. 🤦🏾‍♀️

hulu this can't be true. Instead of focusing on the ridiculous thing no one asked for, how about showing Black movies that don't focus on buffoonery, pain, and struggle? Start there and leave Golden Girls alone.

Leave the Golden Girls alone and maybe watch the episode for context. Y'all done lost your mind

Insanity

This isn’t about TV episodes for pity sake!!!! I love the GG’s! Just stop killing us!!!! Missing the point or what

It was a mud mask!! More importantly, it's a very important episode about love, race, and age. Put the episode back on!!

WTELF is wrong with people? From my recollection, it wasn't blackface, it was mud masks. Holy SHIT, have people become that stupid?

You realize it was mud masks right? JFC. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Y’all realize when production resumes, EVERYTHING is gonna be santized. We’re gonna get a bunch of G rated crap until pearl clutchers stop overreacting.

RaymondArroyo It was a mud mask. Freakin idiots.

wtf?! It was mud!

We asked to defund the police. Not this.

hulu Wtf You're REMOVING an episode that helps teach tolerance and understanding?!

Thanks for nothing, Hollywood

What caucasian nonsense is Hulu up to? Since when is a mud mask blackface. Just DEFUND THE POLICE & STOP KILLING BLACK PEOPLE.

Are y’all for real? 🙄 It’s ok to use face masks! Y’all are really trying and we appreciate it but this is too much. Hulu needs to look up black face and learn what it is. Cause it’s not this! It’s like you’re not paying attention!

Hulu are idiots.

hulu Are you clueless about race?

I've seen the episode so many times & it's not offensive. 'The Golden Girls' did NOT do blackface. The episode is about interracial marriage & racial harmony. Hulu should NOT have removed it. Funniest line is when Sophia called the three black ladies 'Martha & the Vandellas' 😁😂

🤦🏻‍♀️

Facials are cancelled Wtf

Risible reporting

Idiots.

Correction: hulu removes episode of Golden Girls that tackles the subject of interracial marriage bcas of fears that some might find it offensive hulu_support

Designing Women... Season 4 ep. 6.... Susan actually DID BLACKFACE hulu

We ain’t ask for this sis

You misspelled, 'wearing skincare mud masks'

Mud Mask!!! Stop over compensating. Just do better.

Unless this episode somehow became self aware and has been killing people, I feel like things have gone pretty far off topic

it was a facial treatment. i think this is on purpose at this point to make the just treatment movement look silly and irrational.

hulu thinks that removing episodes where proud black actors played parts in a popular sitcom is progressive?!

White peoples, please stop at this point. Just ridiculous.

In other words, Hulu executives don't actually know what Blackface means?

Literally nobody asked for this.

Ok so that's actually derisory of Hulu.

Are you serious!? Omg.🙄

Theres an episode of Real Housewives of New York where one of the ladies showed up in black face to a Halloween party (she was going as Diana Ross)

hulu_support Has anyone at Hulu watched that episode?

Bullshit! It wasn't blackface! My Lord! This is totally out of hand

Black People are not asking for this. This is called white guilt. They’re asking for the government officials to stop killing them. White people, for the love of God, just listen to them.

The world is catering to these people now. White people who want to protect everyone from being offended by things they weren't offended by.

Face mask is racist now ?

Who cares. publicly support defunding the police and dismantling the prison industrial complex or STFU

I like how nobody asked for this. Like nobody at all.

Is today the day that everyone comes together and realizes that cancel culture has gone too far?

I’m seeriosly beginning to wonder if white executives are missing the point in purpose. Or if this is meant to distract from the message. DefundThePolice. Arrest cops that murder.

They were not in blackface. The were wearing mud masks. Irresponsible headline intended to provoke.

The duck? This is not what we want. 🙄🙄🙄

hulu Embarrassing that you people had a meeting and came to the conclusion that an episode that NOBODY found offensive had to be removed. Get serious!

Racism fixed. Next?

hulu don't be stupid. Put it back.

I hate the way the world is going? It seems anything remotely anti-black is removed? It's time to push back against this black loving nonsense! 😤

Wouldn't associating black skin with mud be racists?

Do yall ecen know what blackface is...? This headline is so unhelpful to anyone or anything....

Mud masks, not black face. E-gads.

So mud masks are racist now? 🤔

Damn they just saved all black lives 😳 the police are cancelled

This is NOT WHAT WE WANT LMAO THEY WILL LITERALLY DO ANYTHING TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE BLACK PEOPLE ARE DOING THIS. We just want equality and to be treated fairly that’s all. We know the difference between black face and a face mask

...that... that isn't... Sigh

They’re wearing mud masks you twats. hulu

Mud packs you PC black loving bunch of arseholes! 😤

And this is why you don't allow dummies to take over the movement. It wasn't actually blackface! It was a brilliant and well placed joke.

It’s a mud mask. Please. It’s a beauty treatment.

they’re literally wearing mud masks... at a spa... like literally millions of women have... this isnt actual progress, this is just hulu_support tryna virtue signal and be like “oh look at us we care” so they dont have to actually say BlackLivesMattter or care about it

I'm glad I own the whole collection.

CancelHulu

Hands off my BettyWhite I’m actually super pissed... leave that goddess alone! She’s the most golden of the GoldenGirls

Mud masks.. not black face

Sometimes I feel like I walked into a nightmare appearance in “Idiocracy” c’mon people WTF

Wait... WHAT?!?! I have watched every episode of Golden Girls on repeat and that was not... wow... this ain’t it. So silly.

THEY WERE WEARING MUD MASKS NOT BLACK FACE YOU MORONS. Hulu did you even take a second to think this one through holy crap.

That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

Get a fucking grip....

hulu a mud mask is NOT black face you are being ridiculous.

Omg so ridiculous

Mud masks are not blackface. Just soz u no.

hulu the mud masks aren’t blackface, they’re a beauty treatment that was clearly contextualized in the show. Hire more Black people if you’re truly concerned w/ racism.

They LITERALLY said they wore mud masks in that scene. On what planet does “mud mask” sound like “blackface?”

WTF! Hulu! That episode didn't feature blackface and that episode actually features a positive image of people trying to overcome their prejudice and understand each other better!

Lol no one asked you to do this.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hulu put Mixed Blessings episode back on! That episode is one of the best in entire series ! It addresses numerous racial stereotypes with grace and some humor !! That scene is an important part of the episode and not offensive

Delete your account

Hulu, you’re wrong

Sooooo, no more mud masks

Are we allowed to tan?

If a mud mask is considered blackface then don’t come to my place during my weekly mask treatment. 🤔🙄 Seriously Hulu BlackTwitter thinks this is idiotic.

FINALLY! My thousands of emails made a difference. Now I will be able to sleep tonight. Tomorrow, we taking down Murder She Wrote’s transphobic undertones.

Oh ffs! They were doing mud masks. It had NOTHING to do with blackface! Now ppl are just being ridiculous!

Disgusting ..I’m done with Hulu..I own the Golden girls collection! I will watch what I want when I want to! I never thought there was anything racist with the episode! U mean I can’t use a mudd mask because it’s racist? Ridiculous!

Everyone has got to pump the brakes here. This is going way too far. What’s done is done. Let’s change what can be changed- today. The more we dwell on yesterday, that will inhibit any forward progress. That said I’m not about to roll over and kiss your asses either.

What the heck is wrong with Hulu?

I never subscribed to Hulu. After this, I never will

We want it back! Leave Golden Girls out of this. -The Blacks

The world is on fire. So they decide to do this. Which is essentially nothing at all. It’s also stupid!

If only the governor of Virginia was on Hulu!!

What idiot is in charge hulu That was a MUDMASK, not black face! If someone is so stupid they think that’s the same thing, they shouldn’t be in charge of basically anything but definitely not programming choices or a tv network. 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️🤯

Fucking. Someone get Betty on the phone

🤦‍♀️ they are not in blackface. They are in mud masks. My god people that episode is about growing and learning even if you have preheld misconceptions.

That’s insane it was a mud mask ffs now this is getting too much. Next the White House will have to be renamed because contains word white in it 🤷‍♀️ some things are not intended to be racial and I’m sure Black women also wear mud masks too at times

This makes no sense, nobody asked for this

It was NEVER black face.. this ain't the one.. 🤦🏽

dumb

hulu

And there is a Netflix series called Cracka...tag line: 'You raped our children now its time to rape yours'! Show is about Blacks raping, killing and beat whites, men and women. And that's OK? Blackface doesn't even compare to such an heinous show. Take it down!

They where having facials

Omg ? The Horror of 4 old White Women ? GET A F ING LIFE !!!

Hollywood Reporter lies ! It was a mud mask.

That moment when black folks realize 'All right, now your just fucking with us'.....

These hippies must have long ass arms to reach for this

hulu stop being goofy, we don’t care about that episode and it’s actually hilarious. Put it back we aren’t pressed about that, goofy self

SpyderDan1985

Mud masks are now considered blackface?

Mud masks

They were wearing mud mask, not doing black face! How the hell does 'Stop murdering unarmed citizens' turn into 'Remove the episode of Golden Girls when they wore mask made out of mud'?

It's a mud mask Hulu.. Not blackface.. Nobody asked for this.. getacluehulu

That’s ridiculous why? Leave Golden Girls alone the show was way ahead of its time

It is mud mask! Leave my Golden Girls alone!

No one actually cared they're trying to make the BLM movement infantile

It's not fucking blackface at all

Betty must change her last name as it doesn't glorify George Kirby.

there's a special place in hell for people who go after the golden girls.

They had put beauty mud masks on. In fact it was part of an episode that was great because there was an interracial marriage!

Alright now y’all gone too far

We have reached the portion of the program where we over correct and miss the entire point. BlackLivesMatter Mud masks are a distraction.

Will Biden be removed for saying the word twice? Asking for a friend.

They weren't in blackface .They were having mud facials, idiots.

That’s dumb! It wasn’t black face. At least Hulu is thinking of a solution. Scale it back and give us that episode back.

What? They were mud masks. No one is saying be stupid. It’s a simple request. It’s don’t use excessive force when policing. Holy crap. This is ridiculous. hulu_support, what is going on.

THEE MOST STUPID THING HULU CAN DO THUS FAR BY REMOVING THIS EPISODE THE GIRLS ARE FAARR FROM RACIST IT WAS A BEAUTY MASK FOR GODS SAKE DAYUUM ENOUGH ALREADY

Oh fuck that. No. Just no. y'all want to come for my Golden Girls now?! Line. Drawn.

MUD MASKS NOT BLACK FACE

hulu THAT'S MUD!

This is a lie. They were wearing facial mud masks. Stupidity abounds...

So your saying, charcoal masks are racist? I'm either confused or you guys are virtue signaling so hard you're going to need a visit to your chiropractor.

This is so stupid .

How do y'all keep missing the point so badly? A mud mask is not offensive. Cosplaying a dark elf is not offensive. Systemic oppression and murder is offensive.

At this point it seems like companies are scared of being called racists and delete everything 'just to be safe' instead of actually learning what racism actually is and to recognise and prevent it! Same with being called sexist or anything else tbh...

Are these people REALLY that stupid? I can’t imagine people are that sensitive. Hollywood, business etc is giving in to the mob. Why don’t the people who are sincere about this tell them this is destroying the sincere side of the movement.

We didn’t ask for you to ban mud masks wth

hulu your stupidity never ends Hulu! Also, stop asking me if I am watching still. If I want my binge to end....I'll shut my own damn TV off.

What kind of fuckery is this?

For womens, facial masks! 😖you all are getting stupid as hell. Time to ban all women's masks. Idiots

WE'RE SAVED!!!!

Wow hulu has a bunch of clowns..

Pretty sure BLM never targeted Golden Girls or Jenna Marbles or Jimmy Fallon, JFYI

hulu is making a mockery of the real issues that effect the black community just so they can get in on the virtue signalling. Shame on them.

Better never air any episode of Good Times, Different Strokes, or the Jeffersons again then

It was a beauty treatment! Good grief. This shit is beyond.

Sooner or later, everyone will be canceled.

To whom does DefundThePolice sound like Defund Blanche Devereaux?

Rich white progressives showing off how enlightened they are. But they wont send their kids to school with the Black working class.

Welcome to the woke world. Be careful what you wish for.

stupid decision!! That episode was not black face! A mud mask is not blackface

Ridiculous...

black fragility

It was a mud mask and Dorothy’s son married a black woman. This has gotten ridiculous.

Who is asking for this? Instead of doing this hulu could tweet out to arrest Breonna Taylor killers? Or arrest all involved with Elijah McClain

What about these douchebags?

Howell

Shat ahp. This isn't going to put these murderers with guns and badges, courts or the system in general in their rightful place. And skincare is ok. Blackface is not. It's little things like this that make the GOP mock real issues bc this is all they see

How silly. Those were anti-wrinkle mud masks.

Desperate click-bait. Shameful.

I think it’s high time we cancel Walmart for selling blackface to women for all these years!

I’m a die hard Golden Girls fan. This is ridiculous. I’m also Asian American and it seems like every time an Asian person came on that show, it catered to Asian stereotypes. There was an episode where Sophia thinks their Chinese neighbors eat dogs. Get rid of those INSTEAD!

It wasn't blackface. It was a facial mask! My God, you people are so unbelievably moronic. 🤦‍♀️

Live our queen BettyWhite alone!

Akroyd

RobParkerFS1 gotta defend your girls man

So face masks are racist now? WUH?

Shirley Temple

Now remove these people

Stop already!!! What do any of these fake ass prop moves have to do with police reform? We just want the police to stop killing unarmed citizens in particular black people. 😐😒

Yet I see that Disney+ still has that line in The Simpson’s where they talk about the “shemales” in the gazebo.

hulu 👎🏾 Mud masks 🙄

Do not come for Betty White. Just don't.

hulu did anybody there even watch mixed blessings? CancelCulture 🖕🏼it was a mud mask for heaven’s sake

hulu A mud mask is not blackface. I've watched this episode (Dorothy's son marrying an older Black woman) since it first aired on NBC. Stop the exaggerated PC monitoring and knock this shit off. Because I may cancel my subscription because it. 👎🏾👊🏾

hulu have y'all lost ya'lls minds?

File this under stupid ' SHIT '

They were MUD masks. So every woman donning a mud mask, or so-called beauty masks are doing blackface?

It's easy to cancel episodes of MudMask-ery. This isn't the problem. That Hulu thinks this a solution to anything ranks right up there with their redesigned UI that they thought was a 'solution.'

Are you kidding me?

Can they also remove ALL of the other episodes that were tone deaf with racism? Love the show, but cringes when they made tone deaf racist remarks pertaining to Black people

hulu if you feature any of these people in any capacity, remove them as well

Jesus, hulu, they’re goddam mud masks which is what they said in the episode. Do you guys not watch any of what you stream with the sound on? Even captions?

Mud masks 🙄

They were mud mask for a self care ritual

hulu are you stupid? Repeat after me, Mud Masks Are Not Blackface

Where does it stop?

This is so dumb.

Today’s society can get lethal covid some more

hulu really edited out the one ep of Golden Girls that deals with race because of mud masks. I just-- this ain't it. What are you doing hulu besides being ignorant and performative

How does this solve systematic racism? Is the Hulu CEO an idiot? I mean really. I have been listening, reading, and learning as much as I can about African American history recently and not once was 4 white woman on an 80’s sitcom discussed. This takes away from real issues!

It’s a mud mask....I’m black and love this show...I’ve never found it offensive! 🤷🏾‍♂️

This is my response

Maybe they’ve never seen mud masks? All the rage in the ‘70’s.

hulu ARE YOU KIDDING ME? It’s a friggin mud mask!

nobody gives a shit we just want to defund the cops

Uh Hulu, Quit being IDIOTS!! BlackLivesMatter This episode does NOT matter. :/

Who the fuck left Karen in charge of being woke!?

I'm not with this one.

Everything but what we asked for

Omg ridiculous!

I don't even think TheGoldenGirls have one offensive scene throughout its entire run. Please hulu and Disney restore the episode. The girls need their residuals.

Cancel EVERYTHING

Are you fcking kidding me? That whole episode (or was it a two part one?) is about coming together regardless of race or age. That entire show was progressive af, and that one tiny incident involved mud masks, not blackface.

BLM is now a joke

GTFO here. At the end of this episode Dorothy and her son’s soon to be MIL who is black realize that they both want the same thing and put their differences aside in order to be able to see their grandchildren etc.

I watched the Golden Girls from start to finish when i was a kid and this is excessive to the point of patronizing

Do they have someone scanning old shows in fast forward just to see if any scenes pop up where it APPEARS someone might be wearing blackface? Cause anyone who actually watched would know it was a mud mask and the episode broke down racial stereotypes.

They wore mud masks you idiots

Hulu That wasn't 'BLACKFACE '! And 'Mixed Blessings ' was on of THE funniest goldengirls episode ever.😡

OMG, hulu Not blackface! The Golden Girls Blanche and Rose were doing facials! So now we’re censoring in the United States. We’re slowing turning into communist China.

From now on all mud used at spas must be dyed white.

THIS IS STUPID ! You would be challenged to find a group of Actresses in Hollywood that supported SOCIAL JUSTICE more than them, from Race, Sexuality to Animal Rights .... .Arthur, White, McClanahan & Getty were always FIRST IN LINE.

Can you at least be honest and note that it was mud masks and not black face?

Can yall stop making a mockery of this movement? We aren’t fucking stupid we know it was a mud mask. We literally just want to be treated as humans.

So... this means that there are no black people in on the decision making at Hulu? Yes?

Yo hulu Watch the episode / It's not Blackface - The episode treats the subject matter with respect IMO.

This is really getting stupid it was mud mask CancelCulture is really getting out of hand

Betty white is like 100 fuckin years old and you’re really gonna try to cancel her over this ?

Really hulu_support ? That's crazy.

Are u kidding me hulu !! Did u even see the episode And come on talk about a misleading headline. It was a mud mask. And if u saw the episode you'd know the lesson is the opposite of racism.

This is just so unbelievably stupid. One joke while they're wearing mud masks, and that's that. This is never going to stop getting dumber.

Stop this!

Unbelievable!! They were wearing mud masks and they mentioned it.

I’m gonna go to Sprint... I mean TMobile to remove my free subscription of hulu from my account on my next phone bill payment. GoldenGirls hulusucks sensitiveera AmazonPrimeVideoisbetter

This is getting stupid The actual episode is about bringing every race togheter

Missing the point hulu_support

It shows women wearing mud masks.

hulu completely missing the message

Mud masks!!!!!!

Mud mask hulu Get it together. Also let people judge for themselves.

y0imhungry

This is why these companies need to have black voices in the room when making these decisions. Mud masks is not blackface. Stop killing Black people, treat us equally. That’s it.

Y'all are nuts. What is the message being sent here because it's not helpful.

OjPats4 They were wearing mud masks but... ok

They were mud masks.

Yall just being stupid asf now, this is actually so offensive to think we are the that fkn sensitive and pointing out dumb shit thats not what it actually is. Yall didn't do nothing

Hulu doesn't know what context is 😶

hulu stop making dumb fake woke “statements” and start hiring more black writers, actors, and directors instead.

I dont know who the fuck was protesting the golden girls tbh.

No. They never did that. It was mud masks. My ex girlfriend used to do that. There is a difference between racism and normal stuff.

That shit wasn’t blackface. Stop with the bs.

Yeah this is becoming obnoxious with all the phony pandering. How about do something of significance. Yeah they won’t because they never intended to.

Hey hulu come read these comments.

It was a mud mask. Smh

Huh Mud masks. Dudes...

This world is getting really mad and makes me sick every day.

Wait till they see John Cleese in Blackface at the Beginning of Life Of Brian......

If hulu wants to cover it's ass so bad it should take down all its crime and detective dramas that serve as free propaganda for the police state and prison industrial complex while hulu profits

That wasn't black face you dopes! 🤦🏾‍♀️

No they did NOT come for Rose and Blanche like this. 🙄 They were wearing MUD MASKS and it was during an episode which was actually discussing interracial relationships... people putting their differences aside and putting LOVE first. 🙄

It’s a mud mask. Please hulu It’s really not that hard. Be anti-racist.

That’s effing ridiculous and false. We expect better than stupid bandaids.

Curious how people would react to a show featuring actresses wearing charcoal masks.

Ummm they were not in black face they were in mud masks! This is the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard!

Good! Hopefully soon all TV shows will be seen as racist and Hollywood will go completely out of business. Such an exciting time to be alive!

As a black woman, it's telling to me that there are no black people in decision making positions at these media companies. They clearly need guidance on what's offensive and what's not.

hulu you dummies

at this point people not listening to what people are saying and removing not racist golden girls episodes is what feels racist tbh

Mud masks are not blackface

Do y’all not know what systematic racism is It’s not Betty white in a mud mask and it’s not master bedrooms and it’s not black cartoon characters being voiced by non-black people.

Stop trying to see bad intent where there is none. Fight actual racism. This is silly.

hulu Ain't no one black coming for Golden Girls. This is peak white nonsense trying to look like you are doing something good too. I don't know any black person, family or friend, that didn't grow up or was an adult when that show was on. Betty White has always been a favorite.

Are we going to cancel the movie White Chicks? Or is this a one way principle?

I don't need any fingers to count the number of black lives that will be saved by the removal of this episode.

So mudmasks are a no go now?😱🙄 GoldenGirls

Omg. It wasn’t blackface. Don’t do Blanche & Rose like that.

Y’all reaching. They were in mud masks. The comment afterwards is what may be an issue but not reason enough to remove it from circulation.

This is ridiculous and y’all are trying it! Put it back!

They’ll do everything but hold police accountable 😒🙄

Mid is now racist. Sooo let‘s get this straight: there was more reaction from activists over The Golden Girls getting a mud(!) facial than there was over a (D) governor actually wearing blackface...? 🤨

hulu this is dumb and offensive.

Leave Golden Girls the hell alone!

That’s how you know that all of these companies are just being performative. Y’all just making shit up to seem progressive.

Are we really having such a hard time pinpointing actual examples of racism? They are kind of everywhere.

This is not the anti-racist work we desperately need to be focusing on. 😔

We don't care.

hulu are you serious? Mud masks? Put that episode back up and use common sense.

Not 1 black person was offended by that episode Y'all doing the most now

Not the golden girls you pricks. Those were mud masks, they are normally brown, not the same as doing blackface pretending to be black.

This has got to stop

NO! This is a great episode! They actually address stereotypes in this episode.

Seeing companies and people try to get ahead of potential backlash by canceling things that don’t need cancelling is insane and a really bad side effect of the cancel culture. This is the modern day book burning

That was a very progressive episode of TV for that era, and the overall message is still a valuable one today. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater here.

hulu totally Missed the Mark on this. The episode was about Dorothy's white Son marrying an Older Black woman he loved, CONFRONTING Inter racial Relationships and how Society reacts, and they came out in Mud Masks for facials - and Realized how insensitive they looked. Bad move

Unfortunately, when things change the pendulum usually swing to the opposite extreme before , hopefully, settling into a non-extreme path.

Who was looking for that?!

hulu is confused about the difference between blackface & mud masks?

No one asked for this

Insane. They were mud masks, and anybody who’s not crazy knows it.

Remember when this was about justice for George Floyd and police reform? Well, we are getting rampant censorship and political correctness run amuck. So, there's that. Meanwhile, black people are still getting pulled over because their car is too nice. Bravo.

Hulu clearly needs to hire Black people and POC in this space so the can have someone explain the difference.

Correct this fucking headline

I have the DVD, bitches! See ya on YouTube!

Capital thinks these nonsense efforts will suffice because they believe the performative is all that is necessary. Like I've heard some great scholars in the discord warn 'They are going to fuck around and find out.'

Absolutely ridiculous, this world has gone mad. That episode was about bringing races together, if it’s the one I remember with Dorothy’s son marrying the older black lady.

I have absolutely loved watching the Golden Girls ever since I was a kid in the 80s. My grandmother loved it and we'd watch together often. There is nothing wrong with this episode. It is not offensive. No need to remove it Hulu.

I've watched Golden girls at least 18 times from season 1-7 There is no episode where any of them do blackface The only scenes that happen are facial masks. Enough.

NOT THE GOLDEN GIRLS. this has gone too far.

Thank you hulu for your brave anti-skincare stance. The cosmetic industry is powerful yet you fearlessly stood up to its shameless use of clay. With big companies like yours taking such brave steps we will abolish the skincare industry, but we’ll get to keep our beloved racism.

Mud masks are racist now?

🤔

You’ve clearly never seen the episode

A mud mask isn’t blackface What the fuck

You need to delete this tweet and repost it with correct information. They weren’t in blackface.

hulu did yall what the episode. Mud mask is blackface. More performative bs

Again...nobody asked for this!!!! It wasn't even blackface, it was a mud mask 🤦🏾‍♂️

just abolish the fucking police

Yes, Hollywood should be upset about mud masks instead of the continual exploration of women that everyone turns a blind eye to. This is what we need.

'blackface'

...but go off ig

Now that one joke when I think it was Rose asked if black men had big penises. And Blanche said yes... and Dorothy says that’s a stereotype. And the black lady says “i’m just glad it’s true”. 😑

Mud masks morons! hulu_support

This is thr stupidest shit I have ever seen. It's too much and hulu shouldn't do it

damn I dunno they were wearing a mud mask

hulu what the fuck is wrong with you

Mudmasks are not blackface. Pass it on.

I just used a purifying charcoal mask on my face, so I must be canceled as well.

I bet some diversity grifter is behind this. They had to find something to justify their salary.

Why?

A mud mask is not blackface but whatever, attack a Bea Arthur show as if she didn’t work for decades to point out injustice ffs.....

How moronic. As a self-appointed expert on the Golden Girls, which was one of the most progressive shows on television, this is politically correct idiocy.

Come on hulu ...that was a mud mask...Did you actually watch the episode? It was about interracial couples...SMH

There isnt a single person on the planet that suspected Betty White of racism

Mud masks are racist now?

it was a mud mask tho so i’m confused

What a stupid thing to do.

It wasn’t black face. It was a mud mask!

They were face masks, not black face...

THATS NOT BLACKFACE PUT THE EPISODE BACK!

Hulu You are ridiculous, unhinged and should be ashamed!

Guys. It’s over, go home. Racism has been defeated

hulu it wasn't blackface. It was a mud mask. Who is making these stupid decisions?

Ok the right wing executives are trolling us now.

This is silly Hulu. There was no malicious intent.

Omg! I mean... it insulting at this point. No one is this gd sensitive!

Fix your headline . It was not blackface.

a cynical part of me is convinced that the purpose of all this self-cancelling hollywood shit is to make BLM look irrational.

It wasn’t blackface - they were doing mud masks. It was on an episode about race and they were actually illustrating how blackface is offensive. Rose and Blanche were just having a spa day.

So now mud masks are racists? Okay then...good to know! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

This is the dumbest thing I've read today, and that's really saying something. So we lose the interracial marriage episode over this nothingburger? That's a net loss, hulu.

Someone in Hulu authorized that content first. Throw that monster in jail.

Shame on you Hulu it was an iconic episode that showcased an interracial marriage. They had mud packs on.

Ok hulu this is just Bullshit, this is not how you support the movement or show that you are an ally. How do U equate 'Stop Killing Us' or equality with white women in mud mask? Don't allow our message to get lost in such silliness. This ain't it, PERIODT🤬 BlackLivesMatter

Hulu: HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS ABOUT US, BUT MISS THE MARK BY A MILE AT THE SAME TIME?

they have mud face masks... And is a great episodes, because of the theme it presents and the message that leads to the end of no matter the color of your skin, love prevails

I guess this is gonna be trouble.

Absurd. They clearly say in the episode it’s a mud mask. Just stop killing us.

It’s a mud mask........

There was nothing racist about that episode. But there's a 'fat shaming' episode. Going to remove that? How about the lesbian predator episode? Don't forget The Pilot and the gay 'fancy man '? Chill out people. The show was funny.

Talk about over-reaching ridiculousness by HULU and parent Disney Entertainment!! Get a grip! This episode is about coming together, looking beyond differences, mothers and their children - and Blanche with mud masks in her neverending quest for youth and Rose being ditsy.

Well heres the reparations ppl wanted-remove anything black-Sounds great-Along w/police-0% police brutality will save 0% Black life. Remove history except slavery so they can try for reparations out of white ppls taxes-But that will separate ppl & Dems will never be Prez again🤦‍♂️

This was such a good episode. Also, they were obviously wearing face masks & the joke implies that wearing blackface is wrong & embarrassing for the wearer.

Stupid.

No one asked for this. Not blackface.

Peak insanity has gone mainstream especially since her 'blackface' was a mud mask. The world is laughing and probably terrified at the same time.

This is already getting out of control...😡!!! They saw the whole episode Apparently not🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

They were not in blackface, they were using mud masks. Is beauty treatments going to drop mud masks now because of this?

What a tone deaf, cynical marketing stunt.

No one asked for this. We want police to stop killing black and brown people. This doesn’t do anything.

This will surely stop police brutality.

RubinReport 🤷🏻‍♂️

This is stupid. And we still need to abolish the police

Y tho

This is stupid. They’re not even doing black face. 😠

That is dumb and serves no purpose. And it wasn't blackface.

Do you think tanning lotions are a form of black face ... 🤷‍♂️

Put the episode back.

Mud masks are NOT black face. This was a wrong move.

At this point, I’m convinced this is all being done to discredit our actual grievances. 🤦🏾‍♀️😤

🙄they were wearing mud masks.

Mud masks...they were mud masks and this series as a whole was smart and inclusive. GoldenGirls

hulu can someone on Content Ops/VX please look into this ASAP?

Golden Girls didn't always portray gays in a good light either. Sophia referring to a 'fancy man.' Blanche saying to a wedding planner 'you are ready to fly right out of here.' But I don't want those episodes cut and they were clearly offensive takes on gay men

bullshit point getting by over-educated over-privileged whites

Honestly things are just getting out of hand. SMH. Let’s go back and censor every form of art. Stupid call hulu

hulu c'mon now. This was a bad move and all you do is make certain groups look bad. No one pressured you to remove an episode about accepting mixed families because they had on Mud Masks 🙄🙄 stop the nonsense. Do you really have black people on your team

THIS IS BLACKFACE... You idiots

That whole episode was about interracial marriage and overcoming racial divides. Thank goodness that positive message is has been censored for the sake of being PC. The snake continues to eat itself.

Hulu, this was not necessary. This was clearly not blackface!

Y’all really must not have watched this episode and anyone complaining about it didn’t either. The Golden Girls were far from bigoted and that show was ahead of its time on a lot of social issues

not enough. Betty White needs to change her last name.

Nobody demanded this. Like literally nobody. Plus it’s apparently a mud mask.

Y’all. It was a mud mask. They said it was a mud mask. Sigh

Except it was a mud mask...

Oh good Lord, they were mud masks! This is out of control and has nothing to do with the true issues. Quit virtue signaling to the mob.

My wife wears a black clay mask. It's not blackface, you leftist psychos.

STUPID

Overplaying their hand November is 4 long months away Keep it up

You know damn well no black person had a problem with this. You’re now using our protests as a joke. What part of stop killing us did this fall under

prelives51 People can go after a lot of things, but they better leave Betty White alone. I'm not playing. I'm ride or die for Betty.

FFS hulu. Wanna ACTUALLY make a difference? Give Black creators $$$/opportunity for yr original content. Or just remove a episode from a great show that actually dealt with racial issues (+ LGBTQ, + ageism, + sexism, +) responsibly and with care. also THEY WERE MUD MASKS.

Do black people never get mud mask facials? Because I’d that’s a white thing, prepare for the mud to get cancelled at your spa. Millions of older ladies in their backyard with faces in the dirt. Mud industry going underground. 😂😂

🤡🌎

You ppl need help. A ton of it.

So stupid. They weren’t in blackface. Jesus, y’all know the difference. Execs at hulu are just doing the bare minimum for performative nonsense. How about looking inward to see how you treat your Black employees, if you even have any.

This racial bullshit and black face issues are becoming too hot of a topic. So now using face masks is becoming offensive ? Wow interesting . what's next? Is the Color Black going to become non existent cos its offending people Are charcoal masks gona be banned

So does Hulu think black people are made of mud? So if they had mustard on their face does that offend Asians? We are dealing with pseudo-intellectual babies on the left. They don’t when think this shit through.. they just react. It’s a joke.

Welp looks like I'll be canceling my hulu account. I'm tired of giving money to cowards that are more interested in pandering than just doing business.

Wow Hulu is tone deaf

They were wearing mud masks. That’s honestly the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard

Clown world!!!!!

It was mud masks not blackface...

Maybe they’re removing because the racist person in the clip was the black lady? 😏

Picture of all the executives who had the authority to make this (dumb ass) decision pls hulu🤔

Really? A mud mask? Equivalent to black face? What?

This beyond crazy

Soooo we didn’t ask for that. They were in mud masks and never even slyly referenced black people

RaymondArroyo When will they remove shows with gays and transgender because that is offensive to some people. If it's all about being offended by.

Mud masks are not blackface

The Golden Girls were woke back then... they wore mud masks not blackface, addressed interracial marriage, pro LGBT rights. Rule number one... when coming for Betty White, don’t. This has zero to do with changing systemic racism and police brutality.

There is NO SUCH EPISODE!!!!!!

The whole point of that bit was that, as a white person you can be doing something that seems totally innocuous to you, but if you had Black folks around, you would think of your actions more critically.

Stop 👏🏾 being 👏🏾 fake 👏🏾 woke 👏🏾

Ffs hulu, did you watch the episode? This getting absurd. Just hire black people.

They were in mud masks, what are these dumbasses in suits doing?

That wasn't blackface, good grief.

Was this article written by a robot? I am unfamiliar with the actor “Beatrice Author.”

That’s dumb.

Well, this explains why Soul Man (1986) asked if it could lay low and crash on my couch for a while

Everybody needs to tweet hulu and tell them that they got it wrong. Posting here does nothing.

Oh my god just stop killing people! defund the police!

Nobody asked for this. OMG! Y’all are going to act like this is another “cancel culture” so you can dismiss legitimate calls for change. I’m sique

hulu who is the person making these decisions

Absolutely ridiculous

It was literally an episode...about race. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Seriously?! Mud masks! That’s what old ladies do!!

Hulu is just trolling now. Anyways just watch the ep on tvland or logo or cmt or hallmark channel or...

johnnykats I seem to remember an episode of All in the Family where Archie was going to be in a minstrel show and Mike tried to talk him out of it. I believe Carroll O’Conner wore blackface in it. Still think context is everything.

Ok. My next mud mask will be green. Happy now?

Can you say over rotate!! We have to use common sense people...really

hulu the pride for you stops now... fucking fix it! mudmask isn’t black face fools.

Good, blackface has no place in these modern times. I hate racism!!!!

They were NOT in blackface! They were each wearing facial creams!!!!!

Really, hulu? Have y'all even watched this episode, or any episode of the show ever? It wasn't blackface, and Golden Girls is one of the most progressive shows around.

Please start talking to Black people. Please understand what racism actually is and what the things are that actually hurt us.

This seems to be less about tackling the subject of race and more about moving it out of sight so White people won’t have to talk about it. I can’t help but to think this is out of spite and malice.

hulu put it back and pick up a book to learn exactly what blackface is

That’s stupid . . . those were facial masks and it’s actually an episode that’s examining/challenging prejudice.

Did any of the fools who made the decision bother to notice they were wearing mudmasks, not blackface? Nope, they didn't. Put the damn episode back up and stop being fools.

I have a better idea. Arrest the cops who murdered BreonnaTaylor.

Why!? Mud masks isn't blackface. Now Hulu is being ridiculous.

Mud Masks. You are censoring skincare.

Maybe this should be the next episode you cover PushinUpRoses? My guesses though, if my memory serves, this isn't the most exciting episode though.

Who asked for this? WHOOOOOO?

Hulu, they weren't in blackface...they were having mud masks aka facials done....y'all trying to minimize the real discussion that we're having. 🤬

That was a mud mask. Damn you people will walk around around the entire solar system instead of dealing with the real racial inequalities in America on all levels.

It was a mud mask!! White people have reached peak stupid. 😡

Hollywood should go away.

Wrong again, Hollywood!

Wheeeeeewwwww white people really need guidance.

Ok, now I'm convinced they have a handful of interns locked in a supply closet watching every episode of all the old shows before they get called out. Give them kids a break! They clearly need some sleep...

No one asked for this

Nobody wants this. It wasn’t blackface! How about you make some real changes?

RaymondArroyo my gosh, get over yourselves people!! This is going way too far, what is wrong with certain members of society. if we cannot distinguish between real racism then something is wrong. We have to laugh, we should be able to not be offended.

They are mocking us now.

🤯

Coming to America EddyMurphy plays an old white man. The Waynans Brothers play two white girls. But hey, lets attack the three coolest white women in classic tv for wearing mud mask, as they bring awareness to racism

Next on Hulu's Slippery Slope Radar List: Deleting an episode where Dorothy tries to protect a Mexican student from deportation. Oh, the scandals.

'This is mud on our faces, we’re not really Black.' Gratuitous racism.

If it were really that problematic (which it’s not because it’s clearly not blackface) they should have just edited out the scene. Removing an entire episode that focuses on an interracial couple and deals with issues of racial bias and ageism is ridiculous.

Facials. They had on facials. 🙄

This episode was an important highlight on racial bias and ageism. Mud masks don’t equal black face. Y’all (read: big companies, government etc.) are doing everything but what we’re asking for.

It was a damn mud mask. We are not offended by the Golden Girls at all. Those are our besties. Stop it.

Wearing a mud mask is now considered racism ?

🤦🏽‍♀️ here’s the thing that these companies doesn’t understand......TALK TO BLACK PEOPLE. Ask questions ASK what the issues are ASK how you can support Black people, seek to understand what racism really is. I promise we know the difference between blackface and MUD MASKS

It was a mud mask. The Golden Girls were some of the most progressive women on tv at the time, for crying out loud

Wait… Wasn’t this episode actually about interracial marriage and age differences? Probably not the right episode to remove but what do I know? 🤷🏼‍♀️

WHO ASKED !?

They were mud masks. Now it's getting ridiculous. Some idiots even want to tear down statues of George Washington.

they were wearing mud masks... also how is this going to solve anything in real life

If you guys don’t hire some People of Color on your teams this is the stupid shit that you come up with

Oh lord they were in mud masks...no one asked for this good lord

It was fecking mud mask FFS. Not everything is blackface and knee jerk reactions like this just takes the piss out of everything and creates even more division. Oh, and don't even fucking think about going for The Golden Girls.

Ummm that wasn't blackface. Come on enough is enough Hollywood!! Just leave art alone and let's learn from it. All the removing of episodes needs to stop. Let's change legislation and mindset.

Which is stupid because it was mud

They were wearing mud masks

Doubt anyone asked for this.

We didn't ask for this. Yall are playing in our faces now

No.

I haven't seen this episode in forever, but I hope hulu decision makers learn more about nuance and context.

They were wearing mud masks. This is silly.

😑 They were mud masks, morons.

Do you people even know what blackface is? They're wearing mud masks.

Cancelling hulu for destructive performative compassion. Bye!

Mud mask

hulu this is absolutely ridiculous and the episode was about acceptance and love it wasn’t black face. This performative activism is intentionally distracting. Shame on you. GG was progressively ahead of its time.

Hey hulu please take a look at the replies to this poppycock - majority are from Black fans of The Golden Girls specifically stating that this episode is a particularly GREAT episode about acceptance. And those were mud masks! 🤦‍♀️

That wasn't blackface.

RaymondArroyo I wonder if any of the movie channels will not show 'Silverstreak' anymore because of Gene Wilder's black face scene. Classic scene in the movie. One of the lines says it best, 'I can't pass for black!'

This is what happens when you pander instead of making actual changes. No one cares about The Golden Girls in a mud mask.

I just can’t anymore.

This was not black face. Put it BACK hulu

hulu needs to correct this overreach. This episode is not about black face.

hulu are you serious? They were mud masks. The moral of the episode dealt with race relations. What’s next? Canceling the whole show because Betty’s last name is White?

IT. WAS. A. MUD. MASK. But sure, call it 'blackface' to get clicks. Hey hulu, so if l apply a charcoal mask, and a black UPS driver comes to the door, does that make me a racist?

Do you just want everyone to be mad at black people? We know the difference between black face and a mud mask.

This is BEYOND DUMB. First of all it WASN'T BLACKFACE AT ALL and they SAY IT. This is a great episode about addressing the foolish bias against a mixed race couple in the 80s when NO ONE was talking about it on TV. hulu You are STUPID for this one. I'm about to cancel my account

They were wearing MUD MASKS!!

Rose and Blanche walking into the living room with a mudmask on their face while a black family was in the living room was the whole joke because it is awkward.

....it was a mud mask....

Oh my God people, grow some thicker skin.

WHY HAS BETTY 'WHITE' NOT CHANGED HER NAME?!?!?! I'm fcking outraged. Racists.

Cancel mud masks!

RaymondArroyo Idiots

RaymondArroyo Aren’t they just so brave?

They had mud on their faces. Seriously. This is getting stupid

Everything is stupid.

No it was not you bitches.

Neopuritanism is so much fun. Eventually we’ll be watching old VHS tapes of Blazing Saddles in underground bunkers sealed up to keep the microdrones out.

This is stupid. The whole episode was predicated on confronting predisposing biases about race and age. The episode where Sophia continually insults the Chinese-American doctor is far worse, but nobody cares about bias against Asians

So mud face masks are now blackface? You guys are idiots.

This ain't it hulu

FFS hulu the GoldenGirls covered more taboo topics than most shows of its time including HIV, Interracial Marriage, Gay Marriage, Alzheimer’s, Homelessness and teenage pregnancy amongst SO many others...and all this over a face mask?

RaymondArroyo Mud masks are now considered black face? The world continues the downward spiral into stupidity

It's getting ridiculous now & why not just put a warning on it

hulu reactionary, naive and missing the point.

Ridiculous

Was this the mud mask one When did they do black face? Because if Hulu thinks a mud-mask is the same as doing blackface, we might as well start that Race War because some people ARE really just are not getting it 🤦🏾‍♀️

Hmmm, I get that out of context it looks bad but in actuality, this entire episode was about acceptance of others regardless of their skin color or age. It was quite beautiful. This seems counterproductive.

Don't just cancel things to make us 'happy' and be on the safe side.... I don't think this episode actually about that.

This is just a thought here Hulu but maybe hire enough black people to work as upper level executives in your company so you can tell what is and is not blackface.

So dumb they’re not in blackface it’s a facial!

Golden Girls is SUPERCOOL...stop this nonsense.

Hey corporate brands, stop trying to be woke. This isn’t helping anyone.

That's not even blackface though This is a legitimate issue, that really upsets people, but actions like that just seem over the top and make the whole point seem less valid 🤦‍♀️

it was not black face. it was a mud mask , which ppl still do today.

These rich executives think they are helping but no one asked for this...

That wasn't blackface

FFS They were mud masks not blackface.

soundlyawake did you see this?

Oh FFS ...

Stop saying 1984 dummies. This is not what’s happening. This is companies wanting to seem like they’re progressive so they can get a “not racist” sticker by doing things no one is asking for. This is ppl not at all understanding whats going on making empty actions.

they were doing mud masks i-

RaymondArroyo Sanitizing & distilling won't make America a 'utopia.' Renaming streets & tearing down statues won't produce utopia. Utopia will not be found outside Heaven. What we can do is love God & love neighbor because our neighbor is a fellow child of God. Get it?🤔

I wonder if these idiots realize that there are actually old films featuring black actors who wore additional 'black' makeup. Not to mention all the white actors who were made to look Native American or Hispanic.

It was a mudmask, plus that was a great episode because it showed mixed marriages and how both families were coming together😊The Golden Girls broke was a groundbreaking show, that tackled so many issues.

hulu it was a mud mask there was nothing racist about that show. White people are unhinged

This shit has gone beyond ridiculous.

Seriously? They were wearing MUD MASKS!

This is getting absolutely ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with that episode! GoldenGirls

Literally this is one of the few episode that actually had black people on it. And who asked for this? 🙄🙄

Agreed - I'm a POC and this was not offensive

Oh for fucks sake

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Did...did they actually watch the episode? 🤨

Not in Canada... It's perfectly acceptable in Canada 🇨🇦 BlackFaceTrudeau

DawnKnight5_ explain

DanMBennett

Can they also promote the episode where Don Cheadle tells Blanche to take down the confederate flag?

RaymondArroyo It was face beauty masks.

Finally. These episodes dealing with racial intolerance have no place in my America - Richard Spencer

RaymondArroyo Patently stupid.

RaymondArroyo Another Golden Girls controversy! When will they just stay out of trouble?!

RaymondArroyo It was a mud mask. My God, geta grip. This is way ridiculous

NOT ENOUGH! How dare they support a show with a character named 'Blanche'!? Ban it! And get rid of Streetcar Named Desire! NOW! burnitall

RaymondArroyo Erase away!! 😉

RaymondArroyo But the Virigna Democratic Governor is still in office 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗😬

The Hollywood Report is now calling out Betty White for blackface? What the actual fuck. Have you seen the episode in question?

Um, it's a mud mask and described as such. Not a black person in my family or in my social circle found this offensive. It's one thing to be woke, but trippin'?

They were wearing mud masks, not black face.

Cancel Betty White? And Blanche was a member of the Daughters of the Confederacy.

It wasn't blackface. People need to learn to understand context. Removal of information or art because a few deem it offensive is fascist. Paying members now miss whole scenes in media they pay for, because a few decided it so. This is wrong.

Stop. Giving. Money. To. People. Who. Hate. You.

This is one of my favorite episodes, who is the big dummy at Hulu who made this dumb ass decision?

maybe actually have someone watch the episode before making a false headline.

They were mud treatments. That was the joke. And the episode celebrated interracial marriage.

Do it without saying anything

Betcha Betty White fires up a defamation suit against you guys.

Who the hell is going back through very old episodes of tv shows to find this stuff? Ridiculous....leave it alone.

For the love of God, they were getting face masks at a beauty parlor 🙄🙄🙄

It was mud masks ffs! Liberals are bloody deranged and just plain stupid!

Seriously? This is not actual blackface. They have a cosmetic mud mask on that is brown in an episode that takes on racial topics. Golden Girls is one of the most progressive shows in existence! Come on! It’s an episode explicitly dealing with race.

GoldenGirls2085 cade_crowe The one with Lorraine and Dorothys son. Rose and Blanche zoom out the kitchen with blackface on

That was a facial mask not blackface! What do yall say about jet black charcoal masks🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ this is ridiculous.

1984....

White liberals will love you but I feel confident that Black people will laugh at you.

That’s not even a racist episode 😂

That is a face mask I use them many people do this has nothing to do with minstrel black face. What's the hell is wrong with you people.

GoldenGirls2085 Oh this is getting ridiculous. The girls have mud on their face as a part of a beauty treatment. They were not doing blackface.

This is ridiculous. Talk about taking things out of context

Looks like a mud face mask expletive are getting so ridiculous

Oh, c’mon! It was hilarious. hulu put it back. Y’all taking 💩too far. So says the “black woman.”

Sad thing about this is that the Golden Girls broke down stereotypes and challenged bigotry on gender, race, sexuality and the stigma around HIV. Doesn’t look like black face to me.

Why hasnt anyone addressed the 'White Chicks' movie which was entirely done in WHITE FACE by two black actors? That was in 2004.... those that searched all the way back to 1988 for anything untoward must have missed that?

This is better than anything Hollyweird has put out in YEARS....... like watching a live shark tank! Magnifico

Did every show do black face? All this info just coming out of nowhere.

Stupid! This episode is one of my favorites, IT ABSOLUTELY WAS NOT BLACKFACE! They wore mud masks and it was funny in context. The arc of the larger episode was one of racial tolerance and celebrating and interracial love story. Dumb dumb move. Hire POC that understand nuance

Not the golden girls 🤧😢😭😭 Is nothing holy and sacred to you people 🤯🤬😡

Maybe they were mud facials?

Your actually getting rid of an episode that is important to see. It’s actually about a mixed race, and age difference couple being married and how both families are coming dealing with it. Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think of this as Black face. If I’m wrong, please let me know.

They weren’t doing blackface you utter lunatics, they were doing a spa day treatment with masks. Has anyone actually watched the episode? GoldenGirls

As part of an inter-racial couple, I hereby declare that HULU execs are complete idiots!!

SoulMan (1986) is quietly under the radar. For now.

This is not blackface.

Courageous and brave

Does hulu understand that it wasn’t blackface?

Shoot me. This is absurd

Welcome to 1984, y’all

Betty White is now a target...? OMG - she’s still alive what will the media do to her now...?

That was not black face! Holy shit. They were doing a facial mask.

That’s. Not. Fucking. Blackface.

People have a fucked up definition of blackface

love rich ass hulu execs pulling stunts like this that make regular people resent the BLM movement! very cool! police reform can wait! they got mud masks!!!!

What will the people of St. Olaf think of it?

Weren't they doing masks or something?

It does fucking not!!!!! They are wearing facial masks! Y’all owe Betty White an apology. facts

When is Virginia and Canada following suit?

Removing it fro mud masks but not removing it because the African American mother is completely against her daughter dating a white guy.

... unbelievable but typical for Hollywood clowns these days; incredible that the industry of fantasy has become the mouthpiece for Neo-Marxist garbage! LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

They were wearing mud masks FFS

That episode is bleeping hilarious. And yes, it wasn’t blackface but a facial treatment. People need to just stop with this. It’s getting beyond ridiculous.

Mickey Rooney is not amused.

Best to remove the..... The Rediculous Six.... feature by: Adam Sandler as well.

But Ralph Northam is still Governor.

🙄

swear this is getting outta hand, who cares! its just a show

ITS NOT EVEN BLACK FACE!!!! Good lord enough already!!!

Removed that episode change anything? People are just getting very silly with this. It's just a show

I haven't seen that episode and this is my go to nightly show before Frasier.

That was soooo not blackface

For the love of God it wasn't black face they were wearing mud màsks not trying to impersonate anyone in fact that episode is actually about people gathering together this is ridiculous

I loved this show.

Just stop.

This ones silly. That episode is hilarious and I say that as a POC
