Topic	Do you think we should have seperate terms for 'blackface'?

However the fact is that blackface has been historically used as a way to demean black people which is why it's frowned upon and always will be. Doesn't that argument require that the 2 separate definitions share the same term? Definition 2 has not been historically used as a way to demean black people. Definition 1 has, for sure, and I don't think any sane person would defend it. But definition 2 would be equivalent to a non-Irish person wearing Liam Neeson looking makeup to imitate Liam Neeson. Is that kind of cross-racial impression inherently bad? --- You shouldn't hate people. <cite>MikeHope posted [p:966452169] in Do you thi...
