Is it racist to dress up in blackface for Halloween?

[afoaf]

ewwwwwww

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

Once again, why do conservative leaning people have so much trouble understanding the whole cultural appropriation thing?

Hint for you guys as you go off to do your own research and inform yourselves: it's not necessarily a bad thing.

“You need to get educated, bro...”

Fuck you. You can culturally appropriate my dick.

I’m going to go make some tacos now you fucktard.

Congrats on continuing not to get it and being proud of it.

I had some great tacos last night.

Your criticisms of your "opposition" really would make a lot mores sense (and might even come across as less dumb) if you'd actually pause to figure out what it is they're arguing though.

I say it's racist and you're ignoring the context of Robert Downey Jr's blackface role.

why isn't Halloween an acceptable context? i'm genuinely puzzled on this point.

it's complicated

These fucking idiots need to stop apologizing

These fucking idiots need to stop apologizing

Even easier is just not to be a fucking idiot in the first place.

I've never had to say sorry for wearing blackface or for a "retard" costume or a Nazi costume and it hasn't even been that hard!

Sean White's an adult. He should know better. And he has to apologize because his paychecks depend on it.

These fucking idiots need to stop apologizing

Why do you think he apologized?

It's the same reason as why you are not fat shaming wymyns at work.

Burton would probably dump him if he didn't apologize.

FREE MARKUT BABBY.

Fucking idiot? It’s a movie role

The only idiot here are the people from the special Olympics complaining and Shaun White for apologizing

As long as people keep apologizing the neopuritans will continue to be enabled

Has Ben Stiller apologized for playing the character? How about RDJ for the even worse crime of blackface?

No way Burton drops that cash cow. Even if he dressed up as a retarded black tranny

That’s free market

You didn't answer the question, why do you think he apologized?

Also, why don't you fat shame wymyns at work?

I keep asking, seems like a simple enough question.

Free market didn't compel them to.
