The article is from October 23, 2018 but it is good to show how dishonest and hypocritical the media is.

They all fell all over themselves to say how outraged they were that someone even talked about wearing blackface on Halloween. But they don't say a word about Governor Northam.

And apparently Maud Behar is the latest demonrat to be discovered in past blackface.

The black face thing is nothing but a distraction. While it may be quite unpopular today, it wasn’t a big deal back 30 years ago, nor was it common or hateful.

If you think Al Jolson’s blackface was racist,
wait’ll you hear what he does with Mammy!

And don’t get us started on Amos ‘n’ Andy.

It’s not false portrayals of blacks that’s
doing them in. It’s the fallout of rejecting
the culture you live in while expecting to
succeed in it.

As I understand it, most people think that the purpose of Halloween it to dress in the most offensive, repulsive, evil way possible.

For that reason, many good Christians (and good people in other religions) refuse to participate in Halloween at all.

I think they might have a point.

As far as Northam is concerned it’s a diversion the focus should be on abortion

Blackface cosmetic used in a theatrical staging presentations goes back hundreds of years very probably used in staging Greek and Roman as well as Shakespeare’s plays.. More often than not it was used because the story line called for a a black person who was not available to perform in whatever it called for.

While the technique has been often used in satire. Political objectors to the characterization portayed instead of labeling it as a abuse, are now condeming the means used (blackface) and are calling any use of blackface as racist instead of targeting the story line and the source Demonstrating just how far we are allowing the revisionists pervert and poison a means of communication to promote their guilt agenda.

As if there were no caricatures of black people in modern entertainment.

I’d be insulted by some of the portrayals in sitcoms, commercials, etc.

I’ve seen a lot of black women lightening their skin and wearing blonde wigs or straightening their hair and dying it red or brown. Should they be allowed to do that?

I thought Megyn got a bad rap.

She may just have been talking about this:

Or this:

But it seems like there was a lot of the other kind of "blackface" going on in past years.
