Who actually gets offended when white people pain their faces black? Which population, and which percentage of those populations?
I was just wodnering. Maybe that is not germane though . ..

I bet you can't. The reason why blackface is offensive is the H-I-S-T-O-R-Y.
And WHITEface does NOT SHARE THAT HISTORY.
Your situation is hypothetical. The one at Tennessee is real. So was the one at Auburn. Let's not play apples and oranges.
ktsnake, I actually agree with your thoughts about this topic. However, to assume that MOST blacks are uaware of the history of blackface is wrong. Anyway, I think the ramifications are what really matters and I don't think ANYONE misunderstands that.
