This is (a little) more in line with what I was getting at. I'm not saying the photo wasn't a fail because it was, despite the masterpiece of awesomeness it was intended to be. The intent does not change whether or not it's a fail but rather the type of fail it was. This shoot did not in any way reflect the spirit of blackface for me. But it's still a fail for lots of other non-racial yet completely valid reasons that have been listed.
