Nick Cannon goes White Face for an album...thoughts?

Yes, you're correct, and if the real world was 100% black and white like that, there wouldn't be a problem.

But it's not like that, which is the point he's making.

Considering that there isn't some shortage of White roles or a shortage in the variety of roles white actors get then I have absolutely no problems with this. I mean hell we have a movie coming out called kings of Egypt with an all white cast :rolleyes

Oh it's YOU again, join the party. I never downplay what offends people, in various discussions whether it be race, sexual orientation, gender I'm always the first one to blast people for saying "People are so sensitive". That line gets dropped left and right in this forum by the same people who are quick to get offended when the same sh is done to them. How the hell is that "downplaying what offends people"? If anything it's the exact opposite. Get over yourselves, all this because I'm calling people out on their foolish double standards.


POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK PER USUAL MR. MATTHEWS.

I had somehow mistaken you for BLASTERCOMBO. My apologies. I'm glad you were able to get all that off your chest though.

And then you try to play the good cop right after the bad cop; I see right through it unfortunately

The fact you are referring to any one as a white supremacist says enough about your true intentions

I tried to frame my criticisms of the viewpoints and stances in some of your posts in as polite a manner as possible. I'm sorry you felt it was all some head game to show you up. I don't think my point is in need of any further emphasis. And I never referred to you or anyone as a white supremacist.

White people portrayed blacks as ugly stereotypes, with malicious intent, based on a supremacist mindset, against the backdrop of probably the most brutal, uncivilized time in the history of the country. At this point in time, to take a "if we can't do it, you can't either" mindset doesn't make you look racist, it just makes you look like a self-entitled prick.

Black people can't do it because it's mean to make fun of people and immature to offend and embarrass others. White people can't do it because they raped and murdered generations and generations of people based off their skin color and then used their ugly portrayals as justification for their unfathomable brutality. So I agree, it's not right for anyone to do it. K? Thanks guys! :wink:

There's a difference.

They are both stereotypes, what's the difference?

So you're saying you don't see a difference.

No I'm saying I see a similarity.

Cool.

Do you see a difference?

Dude, you saying you don't see the difference between those two examples is like you saying you don't see the difference between the ocean and a swimming pool or a swimming pool and a glass of water. Technically, it's all water. Technically, it's all stereotyping. There's still a difference.

This is for a Nick Cannon album coming out on 4/1?

Guess where these people are from?

I'll give you one guess...and be sure to turn your brain on.

The world isn't that way. I (as I'm sure most people in this thread) 100% agree with you on your stance that all stereotyping is wrong regardless of who it is from and directed too, but to sit there and pretend as if there is no difference is irresponsible. I'm wondering why you choose to ignore that aspect.
 
Bruh.

If they made a thread stereotyping Mexicans it would not be cool either.

It's only really cool for White people. WASPS to be more specific, because I don't even like people stereotyping Jews or Italians etc.

But have a field day with WASPS.

I believe in the double standard. Nobody ever murdered an unarmed White child and then got off free because of stereotypes. But that's happened how many times this year with Black children?

I don't care about fairness. If I cared about fairness then I would be a psychological train wreck as a Black man. I'd be catatonic from the amount of injustice I see on a regular basis. American society has taught me that fairness means nothing, so I'm just doing my part and being a good American.

You definitely just made those examples to fit your argument. Go check white chicks, Martin , nick cannon etc. that's not how they portray whites. You just showed your bias.

This is a very good analogy. Too bad goal posts will continue to be moved to attempt to get around d the whole point.
 
Anyone that doesn't know the difference between black face and white face might be a little bit too naïve

Problem is I think both sides and all colors argue about the differences when the majority of people have no clue the history of black face to begin with; they just use it as a sticking point to the arguments
 
I dont see how a thread with a person being in whiteface can't have blackface referenced and discussed. Sounds pretty silly and contradictory honestly. Sounds a bit dismissive as well.
 
Good, now only if we can get the others to follow suit and stop making excuses.
[/quote]

follow suit and stop making excuses..... stop making excuses about what exactly? you are holding on to the idea that nobody should be stereotyped that isn't up for discussion. The point everyone else is making is that stereotypes do happen and when they do happen the stereotypes for black people are much more harsh, have an actual effect on the negative perception of black people, and their isn't nearly enough imagery of other black people in order to discredit those stereotypes.

Nobodies making excuses we're stating facts, and people are making it out to seem as if somehow Blackface & Whiteface have the same impact and connotations on their respective cultures and it's NOT NEARLY the same.

I'm just playing a game which was forced upon me.

I used to be forced to lose, and now that I'm able to win I'm going to gloat and take advantage of all the double standards and unfair rules that set gave other players an unfair advantage.

It's that simple. I'm too busy playing to win to worry about changing the rules, because the unfairness can be turned on its head in anyone's favor at any time.

You know how they say life ain't fair? Well, neither is the relationship between a tyrranical institution and its forced adherents.

People are in here using the word "fair" like that actually applies to minorities. :lol:
