In my opinion, it's best to avoid any type of reference to anything that may be deemed disrespectful to someone.

Really depends on the context and what the value of that reference is. Pretty much everything is going to be disrespectful to someone at some point, and it's hardly feasible to avoid saying anything altogether for that sake. Instead, just try to be cognizant of your audience and how they're likely to react and consider whether or not offending them is worthwhile in that instance.

Blackface... generally isn't going to be worthwhile. There's not much value in that particular bit of expression that can't be gained by doing almost anything else (all you really get is "exercising muh rights," which you can exercise in equal measure by drawing a flower on your cheek instead).
