Offensive black face?

[Robo]

If it’s sooooo highly offensive for white folks to put on black face when they’re 20, then why wasn’t it sooooo highly offensive when Michael Jackson put on white face when he was 20?

What a stupid post.

Because?

Why ask WHY?

The best way for you to educate yourself, is to Walk-the-Walk rather than Talk-the-Talk.

The walk? You mean the lowest black unemployment rate in history? Or are you indicating the gang shootings in the black ghettos governed by the Democrats?

Yea ... good idea, change the subject

I thought the "subject" was "the black condition," i.e. "walking the walk?"

Damn, those Democrats really fucked up Sub-Sahara Africa.

If black face is soooo offensive to blacks, then they must be ashamed of their color? They must all want to be white like Michael Jackson? Maybe that's why they call each other niggers? Maybe they can't take a joke unless a black is joking huh?

WRONG! The best way to understand racism in this country is to have lived through it's institutionalized period. I grew up with separate water fountains, rest rooms, separated eating areas, blacks sitting in the back of the bus. That sport was racism, while we still have isolated racist incidences it can't compare to the 40's, 50's and 60's. This hoopla today is just a bunch of thin skinned reactionaries wanting to have their 60 seconds of fame nothing more.

Is there more that needs to be done? Of course but until man becomes color blind there will always be some racism.

Glad I wasn't living through that ... but I did grow up during the 60s ... and my father was a Militant type, that didn't take anyone shit type of Father, and he learned that from my Grandfather. So kinda grew up being the one who handed out headaches, rather than getting them. That's why I was always trouble in Catholic Grade School ... NO Nun was ever going slap me with a Ruler without getting a call from my Father. He would always say, I'm the only one who hands out the punishments.

When I ask a question that is inconvenient for lefties, I like to try to predict which specific evasion technique they will likely use. I know they are going to dodge, divert, invert, ignore, redefine, or otherwise evade answering with an answer that demonstrates that they have read and understand the opening post, so I like to try and guess which one they will use.

There is no good reason why it is only offensive for whites to where blackface while blacks are free to wear whiteface, and there is no good reason why my spellchecker underlines whiteface in red but does not underline blackface. Lefties cannot provide a good reason for this, so they will evade answering.
