A TikToker who filmed herself using makeup to look like the late basketball legend Kobe Bryant has faced criticism over the clip - with some accusing her of 'blackface‘

Adds a new slant to the whole issue.
I saw that.
To a hammer the whole world looks like a nail. To a racist...
Avoid any issue having to do with black people.
They are so tied up with the leftist/Democrat exercise of power and their constantly-shifting and conflicting propaganda themes, its not worth any effort.
There are YouTube videos of people getting interviewed on the street about this sort of thing.
Everyone is outraged by blackface — claiming to be a race that you are not? Very bad!!
No one is outraged by “womanface” — a man wearing makeup and claiming to be a woman. That’s “different”. It’s “fine”. No one can explain why one is better than the other, but “it just is”.
“Adds a new slant to the whole issue.”
Easy its a slippery slope
What if a white guy dresses up as a black woman?
Did she use the LASD crash scene photos as a guide?
Just laugh loudly out loud at any woketard that comes out with woketard crap. So what if someone paints their face? It’s not as if the left is above playing pretend.
Stupid Asian woman thinks she can get away with doing innocent things, just because she’s not white.
Sorry, lady. If no Class 1 targets are available, the race baiters will happily move on to Class 2 targets.
I don’t understand the outrage over ‘black face’ how is this insulting/racist?? Al Jolson did it for years, but, that was before people were born without spines.
Yet Kimmel remains on the air despite that recurring character on “The Man Show” that helped get him there.
Joy Behar is still on the air telling actual Black Americans (Justice Thomas & Tim Scott they don’t under what it’s like to be black despite her own blackface controversy as a liberal white woman. Double standards due to politics reveals the falsity of their outrage.
Okay, so if it blackface is wrong—and I think what was done here is art, okay, and all. Anyway, then isn’t mentally ill men pretending to be women wrong as well? Or entitled progressive women claiming to be Indian, or senators claiming to be veterans.
Or even the very same Asian woman making herself up as Audrey Hepburn, which I presume was not met with a similar chorus of offended screams.
I do understand that blackface has a history that justifies reasonable caution, but this lady is not doing general blackface, making her appearance like specific celebrities is her thing, and it should not matter what race those celebrities are. Or if it does, then let society scream about her making herself look like white celebrities too.
I just have to reorient myself, while avoiding any occidents.
Blackface might offend some people. Well, okay.
But by far the greatest cultural outrage of this era has to be Elizabeth Warren’s casual claim to be a Cherokee. It moved her up the ladder, ahead of people who otherwise would have gotten those positions. That’s way more than just offending someone.
Yet Warren still sits smugly in the Senate. Anyone who wants to cancel a “blackface” performer should first explain how Warren gets a pass.
