It is what it is at this point. Anything I say with just be ignored anyways so no need to keep bringing me back into this.

Go ahead and be mad all you want. At the end of the day, neither of you are doing a single thing about it. Let these instances motivate you to help strengthen the black community and help educate the white community on things you assume they should be aware of.

I remember being told I wouldn't get a job because I looked like a this due to my long hair. That definitely bothered me but all it did was motivate me to prove those people wrong. DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ISSUES YOU TWO HAVE INSTEAD OF BEING KEYBOARD WARRIORS.

You guys clearly can't differentiate between a stereo type and people dressing as real life people as shown by your examples. That's very clear.

See I fell back getting deep into racial discussions on this board because I don't have time to be MLK to get my point across to someone ignorant. That ain't my speed...what the **** I look like being "respectful" to the oppressor especially those who push those views. I'm good. 

May the blonde hair Jesus bless you

Still don't see what I'm exposing myself as.
Your quote of me was a response to another member and his examples he wanted to throw at me as if they were the same instance.

I'd love for you to say I'm exposed as a racist as it's hard to be racist against my own kind.

Just because I don't agree, it doesn't mean I'm ignorant. Y'all stay name calling on here because I don't share the same viewpoints as you.
 
Riveting. 

Native Americans, European Americans, and African slaves aka African Americans. Black face was prevalent when this country was only made up of these 3. There's deep rooted racial insensitive history in black face so trust me when I say I don't give one **** about your outside opinion. 

I'm done.

White people aren't allowed to have an opinion on the subject. Black people aren't allowed to not be offended by it. Anyone who feels otherwise is ignorant/racist/Uncle Tom.Typical Niketalk.

If you didn't care then you didn't need to post your 2 cents in the first place. Read it and move on.

An admin exposed himself.... As what? A racist black man?

But I'm not white tho. That's the irony. He's basically saying I exposed myself as a black dude that's racist against other blacks?

Not everyone believes this is the definition of black face. Not all black people are enraged by this.

I am very proud of what I am and make sure my kids know of history that is no longer taught in schools.

Because I didn't think this was racist, I'm exposed? Right.

I know that you aren't white. I'm not trying to expose anything.That is why I said "Black people aren't allowed to not be offended by it." That is basically what they are saying. Dudes on NT get excessive with the name calling and Uncle Tom/racist accusations because they can't comprehend how not everyone agrees with their extremist views sometimes.I can understand why people would find it offensive, due to the history. I respect the fact that some people don't. Some people probably aren't even aware of the history of blackface in this country. Aside from it being insensitive and seemingly racist, it is really just plain stupid. Why is facepaint necessary for a costume like that in the first place? If you need blackface for people to comprehend your costume, then you have already failed at Costume 101.

Lol @ acting like being a black man makes it impossible to be prejudice/ignorant when it comes to other Blacks.

And of course the usual stormfront members in here trying to defend Black face. But then again haven't we linked prejudice/racism to low IQ?

Acting or being? And since when have I been racist towards any of my peers?
 
jchambers jchambers wasn't saying you were saying you were exposing me. Sorry that came out wrong.

I do agree that blackface is wrong but I don't share the same interpretation of it. That's where the hang up is.

I know. All good. I personally don't condone the black face thing, and I understand that it is offensive and why. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. A lot of cats on here have a learned defense mechanism of calling anyone who disagrees with them racist or self-hating.

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.

Agreed and that's why I left it alone. Dudes saying I'm exposed tho definitely gets my interest.

I've always interpreted black face as when white people used to dress in a stereotypical manner, trying to make fun of black people as a race. I just didn't see this instance as that tho I understand that others do. That doesn't make me racist tho. That's just absurd.
 
This has been blown out of proportion. I'm hispanic, I see people dressed up like Escobar, the stereotypical mexican cholo, the trailer park white trash and nobody says a thing. Then a dude dresses up like Kanye and people get their panties up in a bunch. Do people really believe this is a racist act? wow! f this gay earth.

O wait, sorry, delete the gay earth part because it might be considered an act of homophobia. HASHBROWN toughenuplittlegirls.

It's ok for white actors to do it in movies because its "funny" you have to be a millionaire A list celeb like Robert Downey to do this and not get hated on. So lets bow down to the Rich white dude, let them roam free.

I don't know the intentions of the cats doing the blackface. They may be racist, they may just be uninformed or not realize that people still dwell on things like that. It isn't an excuse, but I see where you are coming from. I''m not down with the whole PC/sensitive movement anyways. What are we supposed to do, make it illegal for people to wear facepaint? It is sad that you can't even have an opinion on certain topics without being labeled.
 
This dude is relatively our age, does that mean he can't go to a halloween party and dress up as a power couple with his wife? come on now.
 
In 2015 white folks damn well what they're doing when they put that **** on their face. Like others have already pointed out you can pull off the custom w/o all the extra ****. Every Halloween we see racist customs pop up, some more blatant than others. This is just a slick way of racist folks showing how they feel but they can lean on the excuse "It's just a custom". Maybe some of y'all should read up on the history behind blackface if you think this is just a little thing.
