“I do not know a single person in my life that has ever thought of doing a “black face” costume. It is simply not anything anyone in my small town or church would have ever done.”

And if someone, in say the last 75 years, at church dressed in blackface, would it keep them from going to heaven?

If someone at church dressed up as Pontius Pilate, would that keep them from going to heaven?

I doubt that the vignettes Shirley Temple did, or John Wayne did, in blackface was what the Book referenced as the unforgivable sin.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr., despite his infamy over the Boston cop affair during BO's administration, is actually a first class genealogist, one of the best in the country.

He helped find a key ancestor of one famous Black celebrity (I don't recall exactly who) who was emancipated by his Virginia owner in the 1820s in return for a small share in a blacksmith business whom he helped set up beside the National Road (roughly present day US 40).

The investment paid off handsomely for both former slave and owner. The one blacksmith shop grew into a chain of at least nine known shops and was highly profitable as traffic grew.

Instead of being proud of being a descendant of such a go-getter, the celeb was livid with anger, choosing to believe all of his ancestors were oppressed field hands rather than mainly descendants of a highly successful blacksmith who provided employment for scores of newly freed slaves over his lifetime.

Definitely a double standard and they need to twist in the wind with it!
But we all know it’s ridiculous to go back to what a kid did when he was 19 and dressed up in a costume.
Which to me brings up a whole new issue.
Why can’t a white kid dress up like a black rapper?
Would it be ok for a black guy to dress up like Elvis or Springsteen?
Why the double standard ?
So many questions that won’t be answered !

Oliver Hardy and Al Jolson both wore blackface during their careers. My son wore blackface on MLK’s birthday and recited his “I have a dream” speech before his entire class, all of them lily white. He was ten years old.

"omoshiroi" (literally "white face") means "interesting"

Black faces along with the “white sheets” of all of the socialist bints at the SOFTU last night is priceless. I wonder what Ms. gap tooth loser from Georgia was thinking. It can be really confusing for blacks to be so loyal to their slave party.

“Any black Democrats doing white face?”

Isn’t that what “Hamilton” is all about?

The main source text for the class was the book “Black Like Me”

They should have included the 1960 movie "I Passed For White" too.

Democrats have been projecting their racism onto conservatives.

Ranting about race, and perpetually seeking to take offense certainly mean something to demonicRATs.

Think about the timing. All this sudden concern over ancient acts of racism by Democrats is a ploy to distract the people from the infanticide issue. Infanticide is so important to them that several of their own are being forced to sacrifice their careers in an effort to take it out of the headlines.

Yes. I made a point of mentioning the infanticide thing in my first post on the thread. Notice also that the reprobate Cuomo is being ignored. Virginia merely proposed the baby-killing legislation. New York actually passed it.

We were warned about New York Values.
