I agree with Ivyspice and Librasoul on this one. There is no excuse for blackface. Blackface is a symbol of oppression. White actors did not use black face to portray strong, powerful black men and women. White actors who used black face to portray black people as goofy, slow...well you understand what I'm trying to say. Those that use blackface are not respecting others. It's offensive and insulting. How dare anyone condone such behaviour. I would be ashamed an offended if any of my sisters did this or thought it was okay. I would be ashamed if any of the fraternity members on my campus though that this behaviour was acceptable and I am ashamed that anyone here can justify this behaviour.
