      • Black face paint isnt racist. Its makeup. We also dont live in the 1900's. The offensive history, is dead history. I dont particularly care if other races dress up to look like each other for lulz or the creativity. I think its a complete non-issue. Whiteface, blackface, redface - I dont care. Its makeup.

        • The best thing to do is endure and don't listen to those who wish to control how you think and tell you what to say and what you can't say. Most of the people pushing this ideology of extreme PC culture will either die from the horrendous amount of STDs they have from being sexual degenerates, not have kids to pass on their shitty ideas to and die without spreading their seed to the next generation, or die young from their shitty life choices.

              [quote]Remember, being white and using black face paint for Halloween is now considered racist.[/quote] [b]Because it is. [/b] Its only "not racist" in the eyes of people---usually white---who are either ignorant of the history of the practice or are such assholes that they are aware of that history and simply don't care what impact their behavior has on other people. The practice of "blackface" grew out of our history of White Supremacy. It was necessary because racism and racial stereotypes were such that African-Americans were deemed to be intellectually "incapable" of accurately portraying themselves on stage and eventaully screen. So it was necessary to apply blackface to white actors so that they could portray African-American. A practice that persists to this day in Hollywood to this day in the practice of "white-washing"....the use of white actors to portray people who are non-white. The most recent controversy involving Scarlett Johansen's portrayal of the very Japanese character Motoko Kusanagi in the live action version of "Ghost in The Shell". But the affront from blackface goes even further than that. Because the practice was mostly associated with "minstrel shows." Which was a form of entertainment pravelent in the South where these white actors in black face, entertained white audiences by holding African-Americans up for ridicule and by portraying the worst and most dehumanizing racial stereotypes of the time Bot as a means of entertaining these white audiences...but also affirming and justifiying the exploitation and second-class citizen status of African-Americans. Which is why several prominent African-Americans refered to Kanye West's self-caricaturing "performance" when he visited the Oval Office and fawned allover our unapologetically racist President as a "minstrel show". The only use of blackface that is acceptable is the way it was used in the recent movie "Tropic Thunder" where Robert Downey, jr. donned blackface to portray a black soldier in the Vietnam War. It was acceptable because the director did it to symbolize (and call out) the stereotypical ways in which African-Americans were portrayed in films of the late 60s and early 70s....or "Blaxploitation movies". And it was very clear that this was being done. That Downey wasn't portraying an actual black person....but a white person's IDEA of what a black person was at that time in our history. Which the use of black face was an inspired.....but VERY risky way...of getting that point across. Otherwise, if you're using blackface......you are either being racist....or being profoundly ignorant. ...and trying to defend the indefensible. You're not being "a man" when you try to "defend" the right to do things that are deeply offensive and dehumanizing to other people. You're simply being an ass....and a petulant child.

                No. That term is generally only used by insecure men that define themselves by their masculinity.

              • I do think it's a thing but black face has pretty much always been considered racist. I think you could have gone with a better example.

                • It's always been racist btw. However, I guess being that people like you celebrate racism you don't see it as such.

                    In a nutshell, NIL already covered it. You can't really post anything on this forum that involves politics without some of the conservative posters soiling themselves and sending the downvote brigade as a response to a post rather than actually posting. We all know that when someone downvotes something on this forum, their tender feelings are hurt and they want to show it without directly confronting the person since they don't want their feelings hurt even more. Even if the political post is benign in nature, like NIL said already: [quote]THE SALT WILL FLOW.[/quote] Edit: The vast majority of this forum views themselves as conservative. I'm pretty sure I can count the amount of moderate and liberal posters on this forum on one hand, since I tend to have more constructive conversations with them rather than conservatives who tend to attack moderates and liberals on this forum.

                      Caricatures are a distinctly racist expression that can be found in cultures across the planet. In the US, racist black-face caricatures of african americans have been around for, practically, the entirety of the country's existence. Historically, it had a significant presence in both cartoons and in live performances, such as plays, where white actors would use black face to incorporate racist stereotypes. [url=https://books.google.com/books?id=l5TH3Smr8FcC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Black+Like+You#v=onepage&q&f=false]This book here[/url] goes in depth on it. Read through pages 35-36, where he estimates that blackface had been used to racially stereotype people as early as the mid 1400s - before the US even actually existed. The fact that you seem to be ignorant of that is, honestly, ridiculous. You don't know anything about the country's history - or about how society works - if you're honestly surprised that some people are offended by black face. Period. As far as your question goes, I think the answer is no - but you didn't even define what pussification is or how it manifests, so I can't really give an accurate answer. If anything, the country seems to have gotten more vile over the last few years.

                      • I believe it’s a thing, look at Japan after ww2. We essentially cucked a nation of the most dangerous war criminals the words seen. So yeah it could happen to the US. However your example doesn’t make much sense. Black face has a long racist history. Imagine a white guy gets up a stage and starts yelling the N-Word. That being said the whole cultural appropriation shit is stupid. “My culture isn’t your prom dress” yeah and my culture ain’t your language sit the -blam!- down. The whole concept of the US not being a homogeneous ethnostate is that multiple cultures and mixed in. Blending together while still staying somewhat separate in order to form something wholly unique.
