Popular AMC period-drama “Mad Men” will be returning to streaming thanks to a deal with Amazon. Given the current race riots in America, the show’s episode containing a character appearing in blackface would quickly come under fire, so production company Lionsgate jumped ahead of the eventual backlash by stating it would provide a content warning about the episode but would not edit out the scene.
The scene in question involves Roger Sterling (John Slattery) appearing in blackface, but it will not be edited out because Lionsgate wants to show “how commonplace racism was in America in 1963.”
