dig this man - just cause dude aint out there looking like amos n andy don't mean he didn't have the intention of lampooning a black person. the benefit of the doubt should not go to the person in blackface ya know. saying something like "oh i didn't know it would be insulting to a person of color" or "it was only a joke" ain't good enough anymore. it's cliche to take that route for an excuse
That gif
I meant you're looking at the situation and thinking about it though.
Oh, ok
This what what I am saying manIs it really that painful to avoid doing something because it'll offend and hurt other people, even if you feel you're doing nothing wrong? Is your way of life really being disrupted when people just don't want you to paint your face black?
Becuase they KNOW it is WRONG
I think this is really all that needs to be saidIs it really that painful to avoid doing something because it'll offend and hurt other people, even if you feel you're doing nothing wrong? Is your way of life really being disrupted when people just don't want you to paint your face black?
too many ppl always willing to make excuses
Dog, you can't use the, "People are using the race card" when a damn white man dresses up as a black dude and paints his face brown. I mean in any situation other than THIS one
what's a race card? is that like crying wolf or something? you don't think people have legit gripes when they see some white dude in blackface?too many people are always pulling the race card too....too many ppl always willing to make excuses

but people are saying that anyone who casts this off as someone just being unaware of the implications of blackface is wrong. his lack of self-awareness is wrong in this day and age. if that was his error a the very least, it's not an excuse because of the legacy of what it represents to a lot of people whether or not jut you think it's offensive. you can't get by anymore saying "i had no idea this was offensive to people" in the same way you can't get away with overt racism it can represent in generalits all in the context... i have an issue with the pic posted from the party in Cali...what's a race card? is that like crying wolf or something? you don't think people have legit gripes when they see some white dude in blackface?too many ppl always willing to make excuses

dude being extra and painting his skin for the part.... it doesn't bother me at all. I'm very aware that people like to go above and beyond... i mean, dude had that stupid Ye for president and everything
