I was just wodnering. Maybe that is not germane though . ..

trying to turn this into a numbers game is absolutely asinine. we really don't know the actual percentage of black folks who are offended by blackface, nor do we know the actual number of white people who are offended by it as well. what's relevant is that regardless of what a certain percentage white people think of blackface, if a black person is going to offended then that's all that really counts, because those are the people who are being mocked.
