pdq - This may be misplaced, but one of my students said they're dressing up for Halloween as Does this fall under the category of dressing as a character=okay? Or is this weird? Or in bad taste?
Ugh. Damn you Wayans Bros for allowing this defense to exist.
RIGHT. It's bad enough that the movie is HORRIBLE. But your horrible movie has given horrible people a horrible excuse for why it's totally cool to paint your kid's face black for Halloween since she wants to be Doc McStuffins and then act put upon when folks are like "Uh....not really appropriate."
OH AND. Some dude rolled in all "I live in Philly and have had black people yell racial slurs and insults at me and it's not just about oppression so go live somewhere more diverse before you pretend you know about racial structures."
Oh yes, white boy from Philly, you have it all figured out.
IT'S THE RACIAL OLYMPICS, Y'ALL, AND HE HAS A GOLD FUCKING MEDAL.
ahhh christ, this city is SO FUCKING RACIST. Damn it.
I just don't get how this is even a discussion anymore. DON'T DO BLACKFACE. It's as simple as that. what the fuck
you are reading the thoughts of someone who once used "it's not adam and steve!" as an argument. there is no reasoning there.
No this is some other broad, Chels hasn't said much since I rolled in. Other than asking me how I saw the thread.
I don't know why I haven't flipped shit on her before, she is literally the only person in my FB friends feed who is overtly anti-what I am pro. I had a soft spot for her. I don't know. I have no excuse. I was trying to be a mature, rational grown up. I can't do it.
oh. sorry. I got excited.
a lot of people were more patient with her than I ever was. she annoyed me more than aprove. and EVERYBODY KNEW I couldn't stand aprove.
I mean, it's not racist for a black person to dress up as another black person but I don't know why the hell anybody would want to go to school dressed up as a slave. It's inappropriate. My mom would whoop my brother's ass if he tried to pull a stunt like that.
They can't wear their costumes to school, but he plans to wear it out and about.

Yeah, no, still no. There was a photo over on CEP of a black woman dressed as a slave at a halloween party complete with a basket of cotton and a noose and the general consensus was inappropriate. This would be up there with a Jewish person dressed as a concentration camp victim for Halloween. Not funny, not cute, not ironic, not clever, just stupid and inappropriate and something that will probably offend some people.
That's the same analogy I gave him. He asked how that was the same, I said they were both persecuted.

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
NOPE NEVERMIND. I am wrong and putting words in other people's mouths and also they're half Chinese so they should have as much of a say about blackface and racism as I do and also EVERYBODY has been oppressed so move on. Or something.
Fuck these bitches, I'm getting cake.
White people have had it rough, man. I mean look, there is a black president. We don't control every aspect of everything ever anymore. WHY DONT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND OUR SUFFERING??!?
I brought up the White Chicks movie the other day in another thread to see where people here stood. Apples to oranges if you ask me.
But I did see someone comment on FB on a similar post, "But SNL and Chappelle's Show did whiteface and it was fine. Everyone laughed. Everyone should just laugh now." smdh.
My husband HAD a friend who once said that the most discrimated person in america right now is the White male. They are passed up for jobs bc companies would rather give them to a minority or a woman.
Cue Dh and I not able to get our mouths off the floor. Needless to say we don't see this guy anymore.

If he is Christian then he is CERTAINLY part of the most discriminated against group in society. I mean, white Christian males just can't catch a break in this country.
"Why isn't there a white history month or white entertainment television?"
Some people are just idiots who like to feel like THEY are the real victims and all of the bad things that have happened to them are somebody else's fault. And how dare anyone suggest that they are wrong or that someone else has it worse than they do.
See also: US Christians who like to pretend that they are being persecuted.
ETA these are also the people who feel that fairness means everything is always in their favor.
I HATE THAT.
Why isn't there a White Student Center on campus? The Black Student Union gets a room! We should have one, too.
We need a White Student Union for the White students who feel marginalized on our campus!
etc etc ad nauseum until I bang my head on my office wall.
