Blackface costumes have been nothing but bad news for white people for a long time. Youd think theyd have figured it out by now.

it sounds like he was in character, but i guess for the sake of onlookers it's best to just no do it, even if done well-meaning.

I'd feel sorry for the dude if he at least did a lighter shade of brown that's closer to Common's colour but dude what the fuck was he thinking?

i don't know who common is, but i'm guessing that rap line the teacher said is one of his

I'd like to be made aware of why face paint is so offensive these days.

Please?

The person you're responding to got purged for calling chattel slavery a moral good. Don't expect a good faith discussion from them on any topic.

Why not just draw on a beard and wear a turtle neck and leave it at that

He could even put on a golf hat on top of that and everyone would know it's supposed to be Common.

I know there was slavery and a civil war. What I don't get is why blackface is offensive. I would somewhat understand if it was done purely to mock someone specifically, I suppose.

I mean if a black guy puts on makeup to look white, I wouldn't find that offensive in the least.

Also, here in Croatia, we have a traditional mask for our carnival that is stylised to look like a Moor person. It's celebratory in nature and in no way disrespectful.

Why Common even, at all?

So many cooler rappers he could've been. Like Sticky Fingaz.

I don't understand how in the world people are still doing this. Like, how stupid and unaware can you be?

With that said, would it still be "black face" if they went and got a really dark tan at a salon?
