5th Grade Teacher Dresses in Blackface for Halloween

Please enlighten me on blackface. The thread title says blackface but the pic shows me a couple being kimye

I don't see anything that makes me think of blackface or its history. It's ok when black people dress up and put paint on to look like white people tho.

I'm black/Asian raised in the black community just to give a bit of background.

I can't say for sure that it's racist because I don't know the person (although most people who do this end up being racist) , but at the very least it's still offensive and ignorant. He could have easily done the same costume without the black face paint. If you just straight up decide to disregard the history of blackface, you're a lost cause

Society has become so sensitive. I see nothing wrong with it.

But his wife doe... More pics

Are you being sarcastic famb?

Not at all. I don't see him trying to be racist. I personally see them doing a theme and I do remember seeing people wearing makeup to be other races in the past with 0 issue. The problem is that we are so racially sensitive now that every little thing is racist.

It's not like he's like "I'm gonna be a black person for Halloween." They were doing a theme which I understand.

He could dress up as Kanye West without the black face, it is not required for the costume. At all

The point of black face it to let people know your a black person

The outrage for this kinda of stuff is not just "of you're being racist", it is mostly "you're doing something stupid that has a long history of mocking another race"

And argument that society telling white people they shouldn't indulge in a practice that has a long history of mocking blacks and further stereotypes is somehow it being "sensitive" is BS to me.

To each his own. People stay crying racism and it's a fact of life. It's sad tho because when it really does happy, it feels as tho it's the crying wolf situation.

I'd love to dig deeper and see if dude really is racist or just had a lapse in judgement before straight going ham on dude.
 
With the way you're defending him you probably don't. It's not about being sensitive. There is no reason to wear blackface. The history of the act is enough reason not to.

Exactly. This is why I don't care if dude is actually a racist or not.

Outline exactly what blackface is then since I'm a lost cause.
Last I read, it was trying to make black people look stupid and exaggerating characteristics like big lips and stuff.

How about you actually learn about dude and see if he really is racist instead of throwing out those percentages on an assumption.

not everything is what you perceive. I'm just saying let's learn more about the situation before crying racism so quickly.

I don't have enough evidence to call dude a racist, true.

But just looking at his actions have enough to think he did something idiotic, ignorant, and something that was insulting to an entire race of people

So folk got more than enough reason to shade him, IMO

Didn't I just write "I can't say for sure that it's racist"? You quoted me and chose to ignore it. And yes, it is used to make black people look stupid, so if you know that, why use it in your costume even if that's not your intention?

It's like if I want to wear a Nazi outfit for Halloween to play a Nazi Zombie from one of those older Call of Duty games. My intention is to play a video game character, but as an educated individual with common sense I can tell that it's something that will offend Jews and Germans :lol: If I go ahead and do it anyway on some "Who cares, at least I'lll get some Instagram likes" mentality, am I not just being a complete @#$@ about the whole thing?

Show up to a party dressed in blackface with a Black person/people as consious as I am and I can promise you that your night will end a lot differently than you had planned. Its not about what you a not trying to be and what You understand...Its about knowing the ugly hate filled history behind blackface and other forms of mockery based on skin color.

I really hope that your Admin her making these kinds of statements. The NT staff needs to seriously evaluate your status in this community if you are.

@Rusty Shackelford I agree that it wasn't the best move for him considering how society is today. It casts a negative light on dude for sure and can even possibly threaten his career. It was pretty stupid but lord knows what his background is.

STUPID MOVE - yes
RACIST GUY - doesn't seem like it but it's debatable still
WIFE IS SMOKING - yes

Go ahead and evaluate my status then. Makes me no difference to be honest. I feel the way I feel and if I don't think dude is being racist then so be it. It's a difference that we need to differentiate and I stand behind that.

My feelings won't be hurt 1 bit if my "admin" status is revoked because I don't believe dude is being racist.

Wife = middle ground? :evil: :lol:

Haven't gotten foams lately I don't think.
 
It's no secret that this has been used historically to ridicule and dehumanize black people

I don't really need to wait for more details to realize that this person is a racist or at the very least has racist tendencies
 

Let's see what's more offensive. Black people using whiteface to dress up as nerdy/rich white people , or white people dressing up as illiterate and lazy black people that just sing and eat watermelons all day (or in the modern era, just commit crimes and act ignorant all day, according to the college kids dressing up as Crips and Bloods for Black History Month parties)
