Teke4life,

Libra's point is that regardless of their intentions their actions are still offensive. Consequence is irrelevant in this situation. Blackface has a historical significance that is obviously lost on you. That doesn't mean it's significance is lost on others.

Regarding your comments about the Jacksons, do you know any of the Jackson family? Are you familiar with any members other than Janet and Michael? Did you bother to get to know the family before saying that the whole family is "f-ed" up? FYI, the Jackson family is more than just the public persona known as the Jackson 5 or Janet and Michael. There are some really terrific people who were born into that family. Try getting to know a few of them before making classless generalizations about them.
