You do understand there’s a difference between dressing up as sheep and purposely dressing up to mock black people right? Like you are smart enough to understand that one’s racist and one isn’t even about humans… right?

Both is blackface, you are actively putting black paint onto your face. This gives the appearance of darkened skin, which looks like the makeup in minstrel shows.

I see it this way: when white people sing the n word in a song, they’re not doing that with the intention of being racist. They’re just singing a song that so happened to have a word in it that was historically weaponised by white people against black people to mock and demean us, but it still stings because of that historical context. It’s the same here. They’re not painting their faces black to mock black people, but it still stings due to that historical context.

And I’m saying that in my opinion, it kinda feels too close to blackface for comfort. Whether you think so or not is up to you, but the fact of the matter is that you care more about being right than about how uncomfortable you’re making people, so you don’t see a problem with it. I don’t get why you’re so insistent that you’re offending everyone cos like I’ve said, you’re really not

Whether or not someone claims they aren't trying to look like a Black person, the act of painting your face black in a performance or costume still taps into a history of racial stereotyping, which is why it's harmful and considered blackface in practice.

Boo hoo. You’re upset because your attempt at ragebait was met with indifference. You can write out your opinions, they just don’t hold value. Not because you’re white you wannabe victim, but because you have demonstrated that you are not here to argue in good faith. Instead, you intend to shut down a discussion because it makes you uncomfortable. By all means, leave. It would be better for the quality of conversation that will take place from that point forward.

If they did then they’re really bad at doing in considering their eyes are not covered in paint, they lack the red lips, and they’re dressed like sheep. Your own insecurity and need to feel offended is overshadowing your critical thinking. You don’t know these people, you don’t know if they’re trying to be racist, they don’t know you and don’t need to conform to your own feelings. Let them dress like sheep it doesn’t hurt you

And once again, I don’t think anyone is offended.

Modern black face does not require red lips and paint on the eyes. What do you think the intentions behind their actions are? You seem offended that I am willing to point out the truth. And since you decided to dodge a part of my previous statement, here are the “Halloween costumes” I was referring to. The obsession is real. 🙃

I think these girls knew they would upset people by painting their faces that way and did it anyway. They engaged in a practice that is known to be racist. I’ve compared it before to white people singing the n word in songs. It doesn’t offend me but it makes me extremely uncomfortable because it’s still wrong of them to say that word due to the fact that when white people use it, it’s normally to demean us. It’s the exact same thing here.

No but they also decided to post this on the internet too, if you’re gonna post something on the internet that’s problematic and offensive, you’re gonna receive backlash and criticism.

The N word is such a different thing entirely. If it’s got such a bad connotation than why is it still said by black people 24/7? Either nobody needs to say it because it’s a shitty word or it’s fair game for everyone. I don’t say it because I think it’s disrespectful just like every other curse word you could call someone. But dressing up as sheep isn’t disrespectful and it’s not mocking any race. Painting something in camo doesn’t make it military equipment you got me?

Dressing up as sheep isn’t disrespectful. Painting your face black as a white person is. I don’t care what it’s for. If you know what it implies and do it anyway, you’re racist. End of discussion.

Anonymous #6 2w

Black people can say the N word because they have reclaimed a word and turned it from something that has been used for oppression, hatred, and harm, into something that isn’t any of those, sometimes it’s used endearingly. Now, this does’t erase any of its history, but they’re allowed to do that because it’s been used on them. The act of reclaiming a slur is something only the targeted group can choose to do. Non-black people don’t share that same history with the word.

You’re proof that critical thinking is a rarity nowadays. Point to when I was comparing an EBT card to wool? Clearly, the focus of that picture is the black paint. You are highlighting the card in order to avoid the focus of this conversation. You’re not looking far into it because you are intellectually unable to, not because you don’t want to. Only an idiot would defend racism. Now why don’t you actually respond normally instead of being pathetic? Thank ya! ;)

Anonymous #6 2w

You need to take a dive into history because obviously not everything painted in camo is automatically tied to the military. The difference is that non-black people painting their face black has ALWAYS been blackface and there is documented history for this
