5th Grade Teacher Dresses in Blackface for Halloween

thing that pisses me off, aside form the black face, is the general ideal that somebody can't be someone just because they're different races. like if i dress up as superman and my white bro dresses up as superman, same exact costume, somehow his superman is more legit and I'm now transformed into Bizarro. Or how certain things are only reserved for you based on the color of your skin, acting roles or **** like that. I had an acting teacher compare me to billy dee williams. Even though I have no problem with lando calrissian, the fact she could only compare to other black actors as opposed to just good actors in general bugged me.




I dress up as marty mcfly, throw on the mags and the slim denim, burgundy avirex and the technicolor snapback and somehow I'm black to the future. smh.

Wasn't the "Black Face" I was expecting....I honestly see no wrong with dressing as another person. I wouldn't even classify that "Black Face"

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.

THIS.
 
same thing i was thinking. Didn't think its offensive but I'm not black or white so :rolleyes from an outside point of view though, It's comical when black comedians go white face for exampleView media item 1765800 to me this was no different.

From their perspective it's justified. If a white person says black people are criminals and unintelligent as his reason for hatred and bigotry, that is the same as hating all white people because of white racism. You can't use a sweeping generalization to justify your hate and expect others not to, it doesn't work that way.
Click to expand...
its not about their perspective

from their perspective we had slavery and jim crow which were abhorrently wrong

its a false equivalency to say that white people who think black people are criminals and unintelligent are justified because black prejudice is based on historical fact not subjective reasoning

history is not a sweeping generalization

the fact is, white people have created and sustained a system of white supremacy

edit: and you still didnt answer the question

what are the justified, objectively justified, reasons for white racism?

Racism also works on a level of projecting stereotypes onto the individual. Not every white person on this planet is racist in the same way not every black person is a criminal. There's no justification for doing that, if you can justify YOUR hatred they are equally entitled to. You don't get a pass simply because you're black. Black people are not immune from hateful, bigoted, and ignorant thought processes. Discrimination BASED on RACE is RACISM.

you hit it on the head, its about entitlement

white people feel entitled to their racism

when blacks respond with black prejudice, the finger is pointed as everything is equal

you cant prove every white person isnt racist, or dont carry bias/prejudice

you can however prove that not every black person is a criminal

the comparison isnt even really logical

what is your definition of discrimination? that if a black person has negative views on white people, that white people are somehow impacted by those negative views?

everyone is "entitled" to their thoughts, but its the PRACTICE and POWER dynamic that makes it different

its not about "getting a pass" its about EQUALITY

Damn, I wish we had Native Americans on this site to cosign this notion that all debts have been paid to their people. Hypocrites.:smh:

When dude said Jews and Native Americans were paid he wasn't saying they were paid in full or that all debts had been paid to their ppl and all had been forgiven. Not in the least. I don't know why you took it like that and ran with it.

He was highlighting that at the least Jews and Native Americans got some form of reparations (money, land, etc.) for what was done to their ppl while black Americans have not. That it was acknowledged by the governments in the countries the atrocities happened.

There's no way you can make up for attempted genocide, genocide, and the mass enslavement and murder of a ppl which comes with the destruction of their culture. I don't think anybody was implying that.

There's obviously a racial divide. But the media perpetuates it ONLY one way, while all races are victimized unjustly by police. FOH with "ethered" his argument when I didn't even have an argument

Says the guy who's been going through lengths to justify his racism. Miss me with that.

so historical fact is lengths now?

other than you, who still cant provide justified reasons for white racism other than to say they justify it in their own minds with inane "reasons" like their criminals or unintelligent

like you give whites the benefit of the doubt but expect blacks to be above giving what they are getting

It's not even worth it tryna explain anything to dude. His self-hate is well known on here. He makes his points and he knows his **** but he's always incomplete.

Can say the N word and get away with it: Check

Can wear "black" makeup and get away with it: Check

Next will be people wearing hoodies with an extra pointy top and telling us it's fashion and to not be so sensitive.
 
so in one breath, i as a black man am not entitled to be prejudiced

but white people are entitled to believe whatever they want to justify their racism?

as far as christians and jews, christians can rightfully be justified in hating jews for that

in that analogy, white people are essentially the jews, and the killing of jesus is like all of the racist history of this country

its only cuz whites are in power that they can try to turn racism back on others when they are the biggest perpetrators

Stop trying to sugar coat what he said

I'm not sugar coating a thing. I just don't have the same reactionary defensive mechanism you do when it comes to trying to put a slant on things and applying them in different situation.

I didn't take issue with anything he's said especially given the fact Native Americans and Jews were given some form of reparations. Nothing in his post implies America made up for what they did to Native Americans or they were paid the exact amount to make up for what was done.

if anyone said some sh like that about African American's you'd flip.
Click to expand...
Cuz it'd be a lie.

Black Americans haven't been given any form of reparations in this country since the emancipation proclamation or since the civil rights movement. And if somebody did say that I wouldn't flip, I'd laugh because it is factually incorrect. As in it never happened.

That's like people who say Affirmative Action is a form of payment for slavery.
Click to expand...
It's not. That just an attempt to lessen white guilt and make up for clear disadvantages created by systemic racism. Don't got a damn thing to do with actual reparations.

Apparently the crime, disease, poverty filled lands the few Native Americans left have been subjected to is some form of reparations for genocide.

***** :smh:  
Click to expand...
You do know they could've just killed them all and not recognize any place they live or operate as a reservation right? There's a legit system created specifically for the Native American when it comes to that.

Regardless of those facts. The poster you're acting like who said something so offensive did not say what you thought he said. In no way is that form of reparations payment in full for the damn near genocide of Native Americans and near eradication of their culture.

I feel like you took what he said wrong, blew it out proportion, and ran with it.

This is what he said in case you forgot:

Native Americans and Jews got paid for what happened to them. Jews to this day are getting justice for the holocaust. They are still locking people up for the holocaust. On the other hand In 2015 we still see unarmed black men getting shot/choked to death by cops and not a damn thing happens. Being prejudice is not ok but you can't tell a black man how to feel towards a people that have a long history of doing dirty **** to him and still do.


Nowadays racism ain't always gonna be right in your face cuz it's not politically correct but it's still there. So yes black people have a reason to keep their eyes open and be skeptical. That's just how it is.
Click to expand...
Nothing about it is offensive if you think first and react second.


This is not surprising though, the majority of ppl posting in these last few pgs are or have been on some bull **** when it comes to race threads on NT. I'm deadass scrolling past and :rolleyes @ some of the posters arguing with each other. We got dudes who love to play both sides and pretend they're against racism, got the constant devil's advocates, got dudes bigoted as **** when it comes to racism against black ppl, and got the dudes that are way too angry to the point of being irrational when it comes to defending racism against black ppl. Not to mention the crazy angry dude defending racism against white ppl.

other minorities being prejudiced against blacks is just taking their place in a system of white supremacy

whites are the source of discrimination/violence/racism

other races pick up their cue from white people

its not about a "racism pie", its not accepting the status quo that whites have created

whites are not denial its willfull ignorance

black people just cant win for losing in this country

1. They are hating black people based on race, that is racISM. It's the textbook definition which includes but is not exclusive to acts of institutionalized racism.

2. White people are the source of discrimination and violence? I hate to break it to you but this existed way before European imperialism. 
laugh.gif
 The concept of "race" was perpetuated by whites but people were killing each other for differences under many names (castes, tribes, religion etc)

3. See number 2, the world wouldn't be all honky dory kumbaya without white people.

4. You are being defensive about a term that you project onto others while exhibiting the same behavior patients. 

5. Denial and "willful ignorance" are essentially the same thing. To deny something is to willfully ignore it.That is the very definition homie. 
laugh.gif


6. Apparently calling black people out for racism dooms them to failure. Only in your distorted thinking does that even REMOTELY make sense.

racism is more than just hating based on race, its the power dynamic behind it

hating just based on race is bigotry, which all by itself is essentially prejudice

racism is the POWER to discriminate/subjugate others

white people are the source of source as they are the ones with the power, other races that are bigoted/prejudiced do not share that same power

simply boiling it down to "well your doing the same thing" is to take out of context the POWER dynamic that exists between races

denial and willful ignorance are not the same thing.  

denial is disagreeing without acknowledgement of the fact

willful ignorance is to be cognizant of the fact, and make an active choice to disagree

what i meant by blacks cant win for losing is that even if we were to "turn the other cheek" we will still be hated by whites

but if we hate back, then people who think like you will still put the onus on us when we are the victims of racism

I don't think people realize how insulting it is to tell someone to "get over it" when "it" was never even discussed. That just dismisses you completely. You should be embarassed to feel so confident in saying that, like what basis do you have?
