Frankly again, I find the premise false from liberals, and conservatives allow them to control the narrative (premise).

Why is blackface so terrible? Is trying to be more accurate in depiction racist? If men try to play women and women try to play men (no, I'm NOT talking about trannies so no comments from the peanut gallery!), should they fail to cover and not emphasize for their opposite sex?

Al Jolson impersonator Clive Baldwin
had a novelty record imagining Jolson
had been frozen for decades then thawed out and got to see what music was like now:
“Now It’s Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Alice Cooper, Elton John”...(197
Some years back people objected to his wearing blackface as part of his act.
Others saw it and were disappointed when
he was forced to NOT do blackface, feeling
it was a part of what Jolson actually did.
