"It's been nearly 200 years since white performers first started painting their faces black to mock enslaved Africans in minstrel shows across the United States. It was racist and offensive then, and still is today."

It wasn't offensive then; it was de rigeur on Broadway and on TV.

So Michael Jackson lightening his skin wasn't offensive? He was a good looking black kid who died looking like an ugly white woman. There are other blacks who lighten their skin. Why don't you SJW Scumbags single them out. It's "cultural appropriation" (your confused term) and I don't like it.
