Yet, it's always the Democrat party dressing up in blackface.

I’m more offended by infanticide than what was (probably) just an offensive joke.

I don’t give a rats a** either way. It also doesn’t bother me if blacks wear whiteface. Never done it myself, but hey, that’s just me

Wearing blackface is racially insensitive, so a man wearing women’s clothing is...?

[Kickass Conservative]

How do they feel about Greenface?

I’m Gumby dammit!

I honestly don’t care.

Great point.

“It also doesn’t bother me if blacks wear whiteface.”

People thought it was cute and quirky when Michael Jackson went all culturally inappropriate and bleached his skin white. Why aren’t WE offended? (Answer: We don’t give a crap.)

The ones who’ve done blackface were having fun, not putting down blacks. Anyhow, isn’t imitation the sincerest form of flattery?

Didn’t Hollywood make a movie, starring Ernest Borgnine, where the lead actor dressed up as a black man, just to experience life as a black person?

I forget the title of the movie. But, isn’t Hollywood guilty of doing that which is now immoral and unethical and soon to be illegal? Not illegal now, but people are paying with heavy repercussions and penalties now, while it wasn’t illegal or immoral or insensitive or racist years back.

How many Americans area against men pretending to be women and women pretending to be men??????????

[cherry]

I personally don't think about such things.....it would never enter my mind to be black face...I mean, why?....unless you're Al Jolson, why even do it.its stupid...

what offends me more is gay men dressing up as women for entertainment value.......and not is a funny crazy way, but in a serious way...

James Whitmore, “Black Like Me.”

Thank you. I even got the actor wrong.

[Dogbert41]

What if it's like a "life choice" or something... Wouldn't that be like deciding I wasn't a man, but a woman, or something??? Who's to say?

[Dogbert41]

Isn't this sort of the same thing?
