    Why didn't Hollywood and Broadway just use Black people instead of all the Blackface- in the first place?

    Do you not think Black People asked this question long ago?
    They should have hired black people, but it was a sign of the times. I never saw Mammy or how Al Jolson was dressed... if it was respectful or not.

    Ive dressed like a priest before, was it disrespectful for me to wear a cross around my neck?
    Ive dressed like Elvis and sprayed my hair black, was that offensive to people with black hair?

    Well, Al Jolson was respectful in the way he carried his blackface- but there were some other very bad representations by others that were very racial.

    Or when Shawn and Marlon Wayans donned whiteface in the movie White Chicks.

    I'm trying to get an answer from the JPP lefties as to why innocently dressing up in blackface 30 years ago is a problem yet electing Robert Byrd who had been in the Klan in his 20s as OK.

    Out of ALL The Elvis Impersonators ALL Over the World ... whether Mocking Elvis or Praising Elvis

    Why do you think NO ONE Ever Feels the need to put on White Face to enhance their statement?

    Robert Byrd getting elected was not okay, but he did apologize.

    You should check with your fellow lefties. Many have said it was OK BECAUSE he apologized. In fact, he spent 60 years in public office.

    I know, but I do not think it was okay. How long has he been dead?

    Plenty of your fellow lefties did. That's why, for 60 years, he was elected to a variety of offices.

    How many times has he been elected since he died?

    He has been elected 0 times since he died. He is ancient history.

    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.
    Note that they just don't evade, they use the old leftist tactic of insulting you and authoring and hurling unfounded accusations at ya! They're comical uninformed, brainwashed folks. arguing with them is a laugh a minute.

    He was elected many times when alive despite having been in the Klan. Why did Democrats elect someone that participated in the leadership of the Klan yet get offended as people innocently wearing blackface?
