Girl dressed up as a Boston Marathon victim

[jeffboy33z]

So cacs can be enraged by this, but us blacks can't be upset when they mimic us and dress up in black face?

Sh!t like this piss me off, bro.

First of all, blacks, whites, hispanics, asians all were hurt and/or killed during the Boston Marathon bombing... (not just a white thing but a people thing)

Second, stop your fake backward outrage about being offended by blackface.... I'm sure you have no problem when blacks dress up in White Face ie... the movie White Girls, Eddie Murphy snl skit dressing like a white person for a day in white face, or when Dave Chappelle dresses in white face for one of his skits or even Dwayne Wade dressing a Justin Timberlake in white face for halloween .... Double Standard???? GTFHO

finally, the supposed black face that Julianna Hough did was not really black face and not intended to make fun of a race like True Black face from the early 1900's..... Stop your fake outrage...

whiteface =/= blackface

Blackface has a history of racism and bigotry behind it.

That was a horrible first post btw. Why don't you hold on to this neg

Oh I get it... You think that just because black face was started in the far past that it has more accepted meaning of racist attachment than White face only because it's been around longer. Longevity of a racist act does not make it anymore offensive or worse than any current act of racism or bigotry. You don't think White Face or Asian or Hispanic face has any racism or bigotry behind it. You really need to educate yourself more on Social awareness as well as hypocrisy.

News flash... who are you to decide what white's, black's or any other race for that matter should feel offended and/or sensitive towards?

It's virtually impossible to explain blackface to an entitled white person.
Their logic is basically, "if it doesn't offend me, then it's fine".

There are issue that - in the black community - don't need to be explained, or expounded.
This is one of them

Many people of all color/race understand the history of black face and It's not impossible to explain black face to anyone, it's only a problem when the person explaining it doesn't fully understand the meaning themselves or can't relate a situation to another person of race/color/creed. Again I stand by the fact that just because an act/or word has a long history of being considered racist and bigoted doesn't supersede or hold any more offensiveness than a racist or bigoted act/or word with a shorter history. It's all the same, but I'm sure a black would still claim that it's more offensive by black face than say an Asian being offended by Asian face... even though it's actually the same levels of ignorance and racism.

Please explain how all whites are entitled? What is a definition of an entitled White person as opposed to an entitled Black person? Do you even understand what you are saying...

First off, Hispanic face? Hispanic isn't even a race. What are you talking about?

Secondly, to answer your first question...yes. The history plays a large part of the offensiveness. This history of blackface is so entrenched in slavery its hard to separate the two. I think you do not really understand what racist actually means here. You are getting it confused with offensiveness. The history of blackface was to put down blacks and make them seem as if they were less of a white person. It wasn't a ruse or a joke, it was racist propaganda.

Comparing racist propaganda to whiteface etc. is not even an argument. Is whiteface inappropriate/offensive? Of course it is. But its not the same as blackface.

Hispanic is considered an Ethnic background and yes "Hispanic" is also being considered/debated as a race in some Political circles however Hispanic is not recognized as a race according to the US cenus bureau as of yet but that may change....

Yes, I understand the difference between racism and being offensive. The problem is that many blacks who don't know the true history of black face themselves and act outraged but if questioned on why they are outraged they would not be able to explain why they are outraged or offended by black face other than just claiming it's racist. Now, if a person (such as yourself LTF) did truly understand what black face was then they would likely not even remotely consider what Julianna Hough did for halloween as a racist act to the true meaning of Black Face, although they may have considered it to be a bit insensitive but then again I can't tell people how they should feel about something they think is offensive.


In regards to the Boston Bombing, many people of all races were hurt and affected by this hideous act and it was not just a white thing as many ignorant people have claimed. When the trayvon situation happened all the blacks were on Trayvon's side regardless of facts or evidence and then you had whites who were split down the middle for Trayvon and Zimmerman. about six months ago When the 3 black teens gunned down the White Australian college kid who was just jogging down the street in cold blood where was the outrage or voices from any of the black community? These blanket statements by ignorant people claiming that whites only care about whites is ridiculous, it seems it's actually the other way around in most instances.....

I'm not even going to respond to you until you point to where i said that "all whites" are entitled.
Go ahead, i'll wait....

Your blanket statement not mine... "It's virtually impossible to explain blackface to an entitled white person." Define entitled "white' person and how would an entitled white person not understand black face as opposed to a non-entitled white person? I'm waiting?

You're struggling to even comprehend basic English, and don't understand the meaning of "blanket statement".
What are you waiting for?

I apologize that you don't understand the English language as it's obvious you have no clue that you made an all inclusive statement. Also, you continue to avoid clarifying your blanket statement in regards as to what is an entitled white person, a non-entitled white person and black entitled/non-entitled and why an entitled white person wouldn't understand the meaning of black face.

FYI.... A blanket statement is a statement of totality meant to include a whole group, often without regard for the differences within that group. an example of blanket statement in regards to race is saying that all Asians are smart, or all Whites are racist or all Blacks steal.

Hey, dummy:
"It's virtually impossible to explain blackface to an entitled white person"
Is not a blanket statement. It's singular, and implies that a white person - who happens to be entitled - would struggle with the inherent feeling black people experience when it comes to blackface. Whereas one that is not, would be open to understanding/appreciate the significance of blackface from a historical/societal context.

Here's a blanket statement, FYI:
"It's virtually impossible to explain blackface to white people, since they're all entitled"
The difference aren't even that subtle, so it's surprising that someone with a modicum of common sense would even struggle to pick up on that.

Stop trying to draw out an empty argument.
It's ok if you can't relate - the sooner you accept that, the more complete you'll be.

Pretty much this. I don't know why black folk even try to explain it. fukk an explanation. It is offensive, done. Sick and tired of white people trying to tell me what should and should not offend me.
