Wtf is it with black face today? Black face always depended on context. If you're going black face to mock black people, that's "black face."

It was never meant to apply to any example of someone painting their skin.

Context matters, and the fact people are this stupid is blowing my mind.

Pavlovian response

Folks like /u/therealmccoy252 don't have much cognitive power beyond animalistic kneejerk responses.

Next time you call me out, think of a better reason. You're wasting my time

Are you Irish? Real Hibernians can't just put down their screen name at the end of the day

No I am an African American

And yet you use McCoy like it's no thing. Ever hear of "Irish need not apply"? You're whiteblackfacing.

Last time I checked I didnt go to the store and pick out my last name so what's your point?

Stop appropriating celtic culture then you imperialist dog

Why are yall so angry? The fact that you are getting more worked up about this than I am is hilarious and shows how wrong you are.

Don't y'all me y'all. You are a hypocrite who can't face up to the privilege he has.

When you find my privilege as a black person let me know. I've been.looking for it for 400+ years.

You're an American not an African. You've never faced drought or starvation so stop stealing their struggles. Born and lived free in the wealthiest nation on Earth, appropriates celtic culture without a care, but sure thing you aren't privileged sweetie.

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ you are showing off today. You do realize you can be made up of two ethnic groups? Maybe not, based on your comments.

Oh so you can magically pick what you are when it suits you? You Americans sure like to mix and match heritage; most of the time you're happily living in the US but when you need to talk down to people online you're a slave straight off the plantation.

There's no use in talking to an overprivelaged bigot like you.

slave straight off the plantation.

Ohhhh racist all the way.

Magically???? No no, have you heard of this thing called genetics? No? then google it

If you consider that racism you are even more privileged than I thought.

You invoke genetics like it has much to do with what I said.

Me? No. I only know what I was told. Genetics is real. Magic is not.

Well, you’ve apparently been looking for your freedoms or your privilege for 400 hundred years. Not like you were born in the last quarter century, bathed in the wealth and comfort of our modern culture. You really did walk right out of the cotton fields, right?

I'm 24 years old, I dont have wealth nor was I born into it but keep talking like a racist, you're just proving my point.

:’( boo hoo, you weren’t rich, like 99% of us.

The only one getting their feelings hurt is you. You haven't stopped complaining like a child.

Nonsense. I complain like a man. You complain like a slave.

Alright I'm done with you πŸ˜‚ I'm sure there are other people to project your racist views on.

Come back, Shane!

On a side note. This is a serious question, do you have autism is that why it says "autism" in the flair spot? Again this is a serious question.

yall

i just want to point out that the lack of apostrophe is how you know this person is, whatever else he may be, not a mayo πŸ™

Okkkkk?????

sweaty, im trying to help you out....

You are helping no one right now.

And you've edited this comment like 3 times lol. At what point are you going to just accept you're wrong?

Done.

u realize that this is a subreddit which takes a hard stance against blackface (aka wh*tes saying "y'all" on the internet)? and i was trying to confirm ur racial identity to the community so that u would be more accepted? πŸ˜”

But I am not white

THATS WHAT IVE BEEN SAYING πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„πŸ™„

Dude my bad πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ I just realized you were not the same guy. I've been "debating" about this since last night and everyone is blending in at this point. I apologize.

When you fall for the bait πŸ‘ŒπŸΏπŸ‘ŒπŸΏ

That's such a cop out

African Americans can be white. Elon Musk is African.

I never said they couldn't πŸ˜‚ he is south African to be more specific. Idk what you're point is?

Welll, that explains the cognitive issues I guess.

Basketball American. Please consider our feelings.

Lol

Also Irish? It's fucking Scottish cunto.

Oh no, I can't differentiate between two discount brands of English!

Also, I can find old-timey examples of blackface, doesn't make it right.

Skip the blackface part. This is about the real McCoy.

Seriously though that beard is sweet.

Gotta have a sweet beard to work on the steam locomotive πŸš‚

This but unironically

Chad move is cosplaying white Agent J

You know youll say things like this and then go on an 8 hour rant about how Trump ate a steak with a spoon or some shit

??

both things can be true. In fact, that is the essence of radical centrism.

Yeah I dunno why so many Ameriburgers are trying to make it out like some Lithuanian thot is intentionally parodying racist American minstrel shows from 100 years ago. It's pretty clear she was just trying to look more like the character.

Be my bf

If a woman tans her face or apply whatever that makes her tan, that is black face too?

Is Arina Grande racist?πŸ€”

She's Italian. Of course she's racist.

Look, Slavs have been enslaving people of colors forever. It's right there in the name: Slav(ers).

They get mad at blackout games in high school sports, context isn't their strong suit.

Blackface has been a taboo for decades now, mix that with oppression being used as political and social currency and there is no context where outrage cannot exist.

To see it in its most hilarious form look at the gentrification debate. If white people move out of black neighborhoods it's white flight and killing the community. If white people move into mostly black neighborhoods it's gentrification and killing the communities. Sometimes it's not about anything reasonable, it's just about finding a way to mobilize outrage.

What the fuck are you idiots talking about this guy is right we shouldn't be scared to paint our faces..... furthermore I don't believe that black people are racist when they do white face I think it's funny ....as long as it isn't done from a place of hate then what the fuck is the problem...... real racism is hate real racism is obvious a white man painting his face black should not be seen as racist automatically context is important

Here is a statement to clarify why it is wrong: "Being black isn't a costume you can wear when you want. At the end of the day, you can wash off your face paint and never have to deal with anything that real POC people have to deal with," -Kay Bear

Friendly reminder that basketball people in 2018 have no problems that they haven't created themselves.

So it's okay if you make fun of colored people who aren't oppressed

well we make fun of mayos and no one complains

Yes, but we were talking about people

Kay bear has a great ass though

She's hot af

Friendly reminder that basketball people in 2018 have no problems that they haven't created themselves. Best comment ever

context matters

Awww how adorable

Are you white op?

The virgin americans vs the chad french.

I don't know why "don't put black makeup on your face" is such a hard rule to follow.

What's the fucking benefit here

um, sweetie, what goes onto my body is liiiterally none of your business. Stop trying to exert control over womens' bodies.

Cope harder bucko

What's the fucking benefit here

Literally looking like the character you're trying to portray. Imagine not being able to get that at a brief glance at the picture.

I'd hate to tread on the first amendment right for grown ups to dress up as video game characters without getting angry tweets.

Then why did you ask?

Well Robert Downey Jr painted his face black to play a white guy playing a black guy in a Ben Stiller comedy and got nominated for an Oscar and everybody loves him so...

Did he? Or is that the only role where he took his white face makeup off?

Oh shit... I never thought of that hahaha

How hard is it not to drink from our water fountain? Like is it difficult to just drink from your own? lmfao acting like it's difficult or something

difficulty is the only reason not to do something right
