James, first of all, you cannot WHITEN your face with blackface.
Second of all, you cannot dress up someone's intentions or motivations by saying that they don't know what the significance of something is when THEY CLEARLY DO. Get it?
So to answer your question, and in an effort to clean up the run-on sentence that it spawned:
BLACKFACE IS BAD. DO NOT DO IT. PERIOD.
If you have any further questions, please do some research into the history of blackface. Then ask your self why someone might be offended by ANY sort of direct relation to it.
THESE PEOPLE KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING WAS WRONG. Viruous pointed it out, but you all are ignoring that for some reason.
1. They had recently held a seminar at UofT explaining why blackface was bad.
2. The men in question said they did not want another "Auburn incident" and lied about their fraternal membership to someone who questioned them.
THEY KNEW. PERIOD.
Who should punish them? What should be their punishment?
This is the only thing really up for debate.
WHO KNOWS? QUESTION MARK.
