And, when I said that I still don't know the history about blackface, I meant that yeah duh I know it's offensive, but I don't know what the REAL history behind it is. Instead of people goin off on people and calling them racist and ignorant, why doesn't someone explain it, please? (ETA... sorry didn't read the rest of the thread)

Hon, you may or may not be a bigot -- I'm not going to weigh in -- but something tells me you're not too friggin' bright.

Remember that whole thing about how it's not somebody else's responsibility to educate you? What prevents all you kids from using google.com to do a simple search on "blackface"? I'm still not sure I understand.


I'm still curious why it is that so many of y'all reserve the right to be pissed at the word "cracker" yet you don't understand why blackface is offensive.

What is so difficult about not painting your face black?


GC gets more and more brilliant everyday. Everytime there's a thread on race it comes back to white people complaining about how they're not racist, black people complain too much, and "there's a double standard!" Anybody but me find that amusing?

OK.

I guess it's not possible to discuss this topic without calling people the equivilent of ignorant.

There are several other threads in Risk Management on this very same subject.

Take the argument and finger pointing there.

This one is done.
