Are clowns suppose to be black people?

[Oceanicpuppy]

I was thinking and clowns do kinda look similar to minstrels. The Afro, the lips, and the nose. What y'all think? Am I reaching? Any clowntologist here?

 

[Um. Ghouls]

Yeah

:stephanA::stephanA::stephanA:...right, you were thinking? give the credit where it's due, you were watching hidden colors.

 

[TL15]

In America yes...

Across the world yes... AND poor people. A lot of international clowns have painted on 5 oclock shadows and wear droopier clothing to represent industrial workers

 

[Blackout]

I woudlnt be surprised.

Now that you mention it, it does look like a recolor of blackface.

 

[DrX]

yeah, clowns are sad on the inside and jovial on the outside....tears of a clown

This is an unprecedented level of baiting

Yea the hair is supposed to be nappy. Why? White people have straight hair.

The nose is supposed to be bulbous. Why?
White people have straight noses.

My momma never liked clowns.




























Or White people.

Nah, its just some of you guys cant discuss racism so casually.

White people always shame black people for talking about racism.

shyt like the question in the OP is sad as hell.
You have the ability to look at the history of the clown from origin to modern, and clearly see it was in fact not racially inspired, yet you dont even try to learn.
You have a feeling and you look to go to people who you think will reinforce your feeling, instead of using critical thought.

It says blackface is apart of clowning but it didn't have much research. I don't understand why this would make you uncomfortable. I was hoping it be an educational thread but you are all in your feelings for what I have no idea.
