is a black person doing whiteface the same taboo as a white doing blackface?

He looks legit.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

No, it isn't.

 

[Tweak155]

I don't get the big deal either way.

 

[glenn1]

Depends if it's funny.

He doesn't look White at all. Looks like an Albino Black guy.

same here, don't give a crap either way. i tell you what tho i do miss the days when things weren't so PC. lighten up, you only live once, have fun and don't take certain things so seriously.

 

[NetWareHead]

Dont see a big deal nor do I have a problem with it either way. I'd dress up as Obama for Halloween with black makeup on my face.

 

[SP33Demon]

A lot of people didn't think it was that funny. It prompted a local radio station to play cannon's racist black stereotype skit yesterday and perpetuate hate in that people who didn't know what it was = wtf? (like me). I don't think Cannon uses many brain cells half the time.

I dressed up as a canadian for Halloween last year and nobody got it except the one canadian who thought it was racist.

It seems (to me) that racism towards whites is ok, but don't you DARE doing it the other way around.

There is plenty of examples of that in our society.

BET
Black colleges
Black Month

There is NO WAY IN HELL.....
White Entertainment TV
White College
Or white month
.....would EVER fly

But at the same time, one can say whites deserve it AND some, after ALL the damage we have done.

100s of years of "little racism from black" will never make up what has been done to that race by whites....

White Entertainment TV - well actually that's just most tv in general
White College - at a lot of universities, it's close enough
Or white month - dude. it's white month in the USA 12 months of the year
.....would EVER fly

I'm not disagreeing with anything you said.

But labels do seem to be rather racists, but you are correct.....

This. But society says otherwise. People are dumb.

 

[ImpulsE69]

I didn't watch whatever he did so not sure of the context...but In Living Color, Key & Peele, etc, been doing this for years w/o issue?

It's like saying all those movies where the guy pretends to be a woman are sexist....

Yeah us horrible white people who have made almost every innovation that has created the modern world we live in now, and have managed to not destroy the world despite having the power to do so for many decades now. Yeah, what horrible people we are. pfft

We have done nothing to any other race that they weren't already doing to themselves for hundreds of years before we ever showed up. We just did it better and then outlawed it so it never happened again.

 

[Insomniator]

He looks weird as hell!

Its not racist.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

No its not

People are not in debt for what their ancestors did. I've never enslaved anyone or treated them different due to their race. I don't deserve to have double standards set upon me, because of what was done by people I've never met.

BUT I don't necassarily blame cultures for doing so however, since I have no idea what its like to grow up with a background other than white guy in a white town.

 

[JManInPhoenix]

no big deal. There is difference between what Robert Downey did in Tropic Thunder and Al Jolson. Al Jolson style blackface is offensive, RD is not. No offense found in Nick Cannon or the Wayans bros (white chicks) ...

 

[amdhunter]

I thought about this seriously for a second and came to the following conclusion:
White people doing anything is racist.

 

[JM Aggie08]

People are too sensitive nowadays.

 

[Jeeebus]

I'm white... thank God for that shit
