Definitely disagree here, as that’s not what he implied. That makeup was barely even passable and poorly implemented. If you look at his hands, his palms, which he uses alot, are also clearly disproportionately lighter in some areas than normal, not to mention the powdery texture the makeup leaves on his skin. At the very least, it’s an obvious sign that they truly weren’t paying any attention or were literally too ignorant to tell that he wasn’t Black, which I find disturbing. We can easily look at the images of high fashion models in Europe and tell when they’re in Blackface; why not here in America as well, where the tradition gained prominence? I do agree that his use of it was rather peculiar and that it would’ve been interesting hearing their opinions if he were not engaged in that facade.

“Black people on the other hand do require a constant PR campaign to convince everyone “hey black people aren’t so bad… see”.  Its a complete joke.”

Maybe because of Jim Crow, Al Jolson, D.W. Griffith, Jesse Helms, American Eugenics Movement… I mean, do I really have to continue? It’s obvious that your privileges as a person who’s always been accepted into American culture allow you to gloss over these glaring realities that Blacks faced in the past and in some respects, continue to confront presently. People such as yourself continue to use the actions of some people within a particular minority as an excuse to use blanket descriptors. But God forbid Rippa or any other minority figure do that to whites, even though he isn’t. 

“reduce property values, are unequivocally racist (they hate pretty much everyone including other black people, especially if they are gay), don’t really pay much in taxes (i don’t have the figure in front of me so it doesnt go in the per capita list), and make schools and other public areas unsafe.”

Uh, someone forget about redlining and economic discrimination? Or how about NIMBY, the policy that allowed whites and corporations to throw their trash, toxic chemicals, and litter into segregated minority neighborhoods, which has a negative impact in certain areas that continues to this very day(Cancer Alley, for instance)? So Blacks are unequivocally racist, even though there are plenty of well-known Black Civil Rights leaders who were integrationists and preached Universal Acceptance? You also can’t use figures you can’t back up – especially vague and ridiculous claims such as the one you just made- as evidence. But yeah, you must be pretending Columbine never happened. 

“Its not about being racist, just look at the numbers.” 

It’s clearly about being racist, because when we look at the numbers your arguments don’t hold water.

“Think of it this way: if 90% of apples you ate made you sick, would you stop eating apples?  Same thing with black people, practically every time every time black people get together bad stuff goes down ie stabbing shooting what have you.”

Depends on the type of apples you were eating, as not all apples are grown nor taste the same. Wait, did I just blow your mind with your own analogy? As for your opinions about Black people, one could be equally reactionary like yourself and cite the public lynchings of Blacks by the KKK, the Holocaust, WW I and WW II, the Inquisition, the mass genocide of indigenous peoples – including the Aborigines- and countless other wars and conflicts, but you’d miss the point. All of us have our Hitlers and Pol Pots, but we also have our MLK’s and Martin Luthers, filled with love, understanding, and wisdom waiting to be shared to liberate the minds of the oppressed and challenge the ignorant like yourself.

But I was wrong about one thing. Not “everyone” knows how many hateful, fact-free white people there are. None of the colorblind post-racialists seem to have noticed.  It’s hard to see what’s around you with your head in the sand. But then, isn’t that the point of bending over and sticking your head in the dirt in the first place?

I guess they figure it’s okay to be a fact-free white person who likes to talk about shit without understanding it–as long as you believe your intentions are good.

Shut the fuck up.

And while you’re at it, LISTEN.Try to understand what people are saying. Learn at least a little about the facts before spouting off.

Just so you know, you are way the fuck out of your weight class. You’re not strutting your stuff, you’re exposing your ignorance. It would be faster and more efficient–and accomplish exactly the same thing–if you opened and closed with “I’ve got nothin’.”

You’re not even being useful by confirming anyone’s worst suspicions. Everyone already knows the world is filled with hateful, fact-free white people who like to talk about shit they don’t understand.

I was amused that when he asked the white students for an historic Black figure, none of the mentioned President Barack Obama, or maybe that was edited out.

Black-face is insulting, no matter why white people do it.  There is no argument to be made that his interviews were furthered by his makeup.  The opposite is true. He might have gotten some far more frank and interesting comments if his interviewees believed they were solely among white people.

What I learned from his brown-face schtick is that when white people see a man whose face is brown, they believe the man has a brown face.  Aside from a brown face, there is nothing readily perceptible that all brown people have (or lack) that would make it possible for whites to distinguish a fake black man from a real one.  Period.

Whites should not be ashamed for believing he was Black.  Instead, HE should be ashamed for believing that there was some universal Black characteristic, other than skin color, that whites would and should immediately recognize.

Also I find it hilarious how you get upset over black history month when the rest is white history month. White history month is all year yet you aren’t tired of that? Also Native Americans are the poorest in America AGAIN the media tries to make it look like we are, over half of Black people are Middle Class like me and my parents for example. Also whites committed the most violent crimes in 2010 so what are you talking about? Also whites have always did hate crimes the most.

Also whites are on more welfare also what you don’t know (of course, your IQ is low plus what can you expect from a person that believes the media) is the average person on welfare stays on it for JUST 2 years.

 I am for planned parenthood because you will never understand why poverty affects families of color disproportionately. So I say keep killing them, kill them all. If you aren’t intelligent enough to realize that if you are poor, having a baby will make you poorer if you have to feed and care for them as opposed to someone in society, then kill them all.

If you need help finding an abortion center funded by the taxpayers of this country let me know, I will even drive you there.  Too bad you can’t simply use your brain as it has probably have been fucked out and not get pregnant with little ones you demand someone else takes care of to begin with. But oh well, with that said, kill em all. Abort those future dependants on society.

It is cheaper to abort a black baby today then to support it for life. Abort them. Abortion is good.
