The two guys on the left side of the image, maybe. It’s certainly not traditional blackface. The guy on the right side? Yes, 100%, no question.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I don't know if I've mentioned the sotry on this forum or not, but I remember being a kid in the mid-late 90s and my mom and her friends always did the lip sync contest for their company's annual family picnic. That year, they performed "Stop! In the Name of Love" by Dianna Ross and the Supremes. I remember them talking back then about how they wanted to paint their faces black, but the company said that was a bad idea and axed it. I think even at 10 years old or so, I knew that didn't sound like a good idea. They still did the routine, no face paint, but they had the dress and wigs and they won the competition anyway.

stepee Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Maybe Alien didn’t zoom out to see the guy doing blackface either? Just kidding, he is definitely arguing that the dude totally in blackface isn’t doing blackface. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 10 years ago there was this hubbub over this German theater company thinking it'd be a good idea to resort to putting someone in black face paint to fill an African-American role. I can easily believe it was a naive move on their part--the hubbub was basically over Americans being outraged at German people not having the American cultural context to understand why it looked bad--but if you're an American doing it...yeah.

Well, I have discussed how my family, my parents in particular, are super shitty about racial issues, so, yeah, not a surprise. Pretty sure I remember them grumbling back then about how the black people were too sensitive and ruined the fun. Or something to that effect.

Really Kentucky, has nobody ever visited there but myself? Thank you. That's where this whole thing goes off the rails for me and why this thing is stupid. Pent up Catholic School 16 year old boys from Kentucky with MAGA hats at an anti abortion rally in DC, and we're shocked at what happened. Regardless of wtf happen, and I barely looked into it, the worst perspective of what happened, happens everyday here down south. Are we offended at the culture, or just that the culture leaked out into a basically liberal city? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every kid in the audience is wearing full black clothing and some are painted in black. A few seconds later they get get switched out with everyone wearing blue, then white, then later red. It's a school spirit thing, a way to rile up the opposing team. It has nothing to do with race. School spirit must have gotten intense over the years. There was no fucken way I was going to bring extra clothes just for a different color when I was in school. what I came in is what was going to be on me for the duration. What a chore to change clothes while watching a basketball game. I am sounding like Howard Stern now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anathema- Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Look, some asshole racist "Christian" school kids got into it with some asshole Israelites and homeboy thought they were going to get violent so he got in the middle, then the racist kids whipped themselves into a frenzy over this guy so much the fucking Israelites started backing him up. That's fucking crazy. The only reason this story needs to be repeated is because of other racist assholes trying to propagandize these kids out from under this, likely to avoid having to officially brand the MAGA hat what it is -- racist frippery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
