The Story of Blackface — Past and Present

Zoe Aitken

Thank you. I’ve always wondered why and thank you professor for explaining. Appreciate it

You pathetic pukes think everything is waysis.

Don't know what's the difference...God created people in the same way...black or white it's the same thing...they are all people, and you should respect the creation of God that has given to each and everyone...people are people we are form from God no one is different.

These ppl, those that are guilty of this junk, are sickos, js

Have you seen "White Chics" stfu.

I’ve been discriminated against by raciest black people because I’m white. We are all Gods people. It doesn’t matter what color our skin is ; it’s what’s in the heart that matters.

That was educational. Thank you.

It's a mockery of an entire group of people. Duhh. Who are you explaining this to? Those who created this?

To each his/her own aching perceptions.ebony or ivory whatsoever?.

Libs and dems still like wearing it today!

in my religion we don't know the difference. everyone is the same

it's so unsettling

Wow

If you have to read this to find out why...

I enjoyed watching the film 2004 about the white chicks, starring Terry Crews and Shawn Waynes. In all honesty I must say that their costumes, make over and impersonating the white man culture was awesome. They have more skill and intelligence to have pull this film famously compared to the bigotry and demonic people who are trying to impersonate blacks by putting on a black face. Such hateful racist whites don’t even have the skill and knowledge to disguise the blacks in their blackface. Rascist Scums. Repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins.

And the KKK surrounds Republicans funny how that works

No judgment one way, or the other. But, what one considers trivial, to others might be bullying and visa versa. I leave it there - for now. Ok ?

I hope to see Jesus with a black face

Maybe blackface was a mechanism for mockery and discrimination back then, like other societal structures religion, law etc. But that does not mean that today it is that same perception. Religion for eg is not just racist, it is sexist, homophobic, genocidal etc but our views change despite still holding on to it. To me blackface is the same, in today's world if is more of a innocent comedic device despite the history of its inception. If we always tie historical perceptions of ideas to modern ones, we are all guilty.
