Whether the person is being malicious or not. In which case she wasn't. Another way of knowing is if they are trying to make a mockery or being stereotypical.

I am quite surprised that this needs to be explained like elementary children. black face and the controversy behind it, is that it was white people mocking black people, acting foolish and making a stereotypical mockery of exaggerated characteristics they viewed silly, inferior and in some cases uncivilised. Show me how that bytches halloween costume is any of that. :what:

My understanding is that this was meant to be a positive portrayal. I still need to see this movie, but I can't get up the stomach for it yet. Kind of like with Birth of a Nation, except Birth was intentionally negative where The Jazz Singer would be like.. Eight Mile?

this was a long ass thread about nothing.

I dont follow news stories that close...but this doesnt really seem to be getting any traction.
Is it?

Comment section on here:
Macklemore apologizes for beard and nose but defends 'disguise' - CNN.com

its mostly people saying "get over it", random Sterling mentions, and your normal whack job news comment section weirdo stuff (black people do this etc...)
