All I gotta say is keep the same mentality when it's somebody you like.
I don't want hear "(Celebrity I like in blackface) is in a different context from when Drake did it."

People are conflating out of context images to run defense for Drake.

I don’t care either way honestly. I just find the selective outrage funny. I like most of the artists I listed. I can differentiate between selling out and making an artistic statement or satirizing a situation. That said, it’s not always a great idea. As for Drake, I’m just enjoying the fukkery.

Anyone that has any familiarity with black artist and the black art scene would know that they have always used black face to explore themes of race. It’s an absolute non-issue.
One of my favorite visual artist from South Africa, and whose self-portraits I use as my avi, dresses in black face. Again, she’s exploring or addressing certain issues.
Black artist are about the only people where this is acceptable.
The only people that are making a big deal about Drake are young blacks/new blacks and blacks in general who are not familiar with contemporary Black art history. Which is tragic.
You guys should do yourself a favor and acquaint yourselves with it.
