White trick-or-treaters in blackface: C/D?

wau

Still trumped by this though:

If someone dressed up as darth vader and painted the darth vader face on their ass, it wouldn't be "assface darth vader," just darth vader

bump in anticipation of annual halloween fun

today i had to take 20 mins out of my night to explain to my fellow obama volunteer why it would be inappropriate and offensive for her to go to a halloween party as michelle obama in blackface

after we ended this conversation her next question was, "well, what about bronzer?"

here's something both outrageous and cheekily 90s. in 1995 i went as OJ for halloween ... w/ blackface ;[

;[

oh man, and i for my prop i taped plastic machete around a football. get it? HUH??

you're so crazy, burt_stanton

All of these blog entries have taught me that apparently, blackface is still a common practice. I mean, "Shirley Q. Liquor". Good grief.

I went to grade school with a girl whose father was at the first Kwanzaa with Maulana Karenga. Every year he came and explained Kwanzaa to us at my school. My school was awesome and the seventies kind of ruled, the end.

"We've spent so much time trying to not make black people look like buffoons" says Harry Connick Jr

That doesn't sound quite right to me.

channel hopping last night, saw katy brand on itv2 in blackface doing a rihanna impression. she was shit.

Best TV show name of all time, no joking: SABADO GIGANTE. I mean, it just lays it all on the line, right there.

This thread is about white trick-or-treaters going in blackface to dress like someone Black, right? What does ILX feel about someone dressing up in blackface, tho, to dress up like Al Jolson?

mordyfied

what if the white guy dressed up as a black guy dressing up like al jolson dressing up like a black guy?

I think this Halloween I'm going to do blackface over whiteface over blackface, and when people ask me what the hell I am, I will say "internet irony"

"What's black and white and re(a)d all over?"

Its interesting you ask that question because the media everywhere are in a stink about the stupid skit here in aus with the blackface jacksons thing.

And yet we have a jewish performer who's been doing an Al Jolson blackface routine in the samecountry for years to much approval and good audiences and never has he had any protests.

What give? I dont know.

Al Jolson was jewish.

I guess the question is, is it ok to do a Jolson routine these days?

Was watching an ABC panel dicsussion show just earlier, and one of the panellist said something like "people are overreacting to this - we should be allowed to laugh at ourselves". Seeminly blind to the fact that a bunch of white and indian australian guys in blackface can hardly be "laughing at themselves" can they.

I guess the question is, is it ok to do a Jolson routine these days?

i think the answer has been pretty unanimously "no"

But then how do you explain the thousands of Jolson-style performers you see everywhere these days?

I say "Jabbawockeez, CIO"

I don't know, I instantly recognized that as a Li'l Wayne costume and it ergo doesn't seem to be as big of a deal to me.

But is it really necessary? Pretty sure that would be instantly recognizable as Lil Wayne minus the blackface.

Did that big guy have to carry the other guy around like that all night?

I saw someone blackfaced and had no fucking idea what they were going for, although most of my group's awkward silent seething rage went towards the 'Barry's Backstreet Abortions' doctor with a bloody doll dangling over her shoulder. Cunt.

I guy in blackface came up to me last night and asked for crack and I had to be restrained.

Restraint is overrated. Should've went ham on the motherfucker.
