Did people in the past do blackface as an insult to blacks? :rolleyes:


Depends on how the black face is utilized in a setting.

I’m not so sure the woke crowd (large majority of modern democrats) would agree with you on that.

Remember, context doesn’t matter anymore. You cannot use the N word even for educational purposes, hence why professors using it in very specific contexts are being asked to step down etc.

I do applaud you though, give me hope to see some on the left with rational social thoughts left in our world. I miss the old democrats, I really do.

Nowadays, it isn't but it might have been culturally appropriate decades ago when people were ignorant thus less sensitive. I don't know the history behind it because I personally find it revolting and unfunny.

I don’t really find it funny either, but I also don’t think people should be destroyed over it. It seems we may have found some common ground? A rarity nowadays.

If it's for educational purposes, I agree; however if the professor or person in general has a racist past, it does look bad for the employer.

Making assumptions based off of a person’s skin is almost literally the definition of racism lmfao. You are cancelled. 😎
