Are you talking about this thread in which Senusret and I said it is not about intent to disparage? There is no "Blackface Formula" (my use of "and" versus "or" is inconsequential). Whether or not something is blackface is not based on whether someone thought they were imitating (I guess in admiration) rather than mocking. The outcome if interracial imitation is usually a mockery because people consider it unnecessary and offensive.

It was conflicting because ITT you deemed "blackface" to be anything that imitates, mimicks, AND mocks (which I guess you could call a formula if you want), meaning that it only qualifies if mocking is included in the intent. However, you've previously said the intent did not matter, so it could be imitating OR mocking. I was trying to clarify if you are now saying mocking has to be included in the intent or if you still believe intent does not matter--which is why I asked "and" vs. "or" and that's the question you just answered.

SNL did a take-off on her. I laughed until I cried when the supposed announcer asked "Patricia Krentcil" something like why she enjoyed looking like Wile E. Coyote right after something exploded in his face!

She walked in trailing clouds of smoke.
