@ChrisSteer111@CathyYoung63 Cld this be any further from racist 'blackface.' More like a balaclaver -to hide face https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fniZzaViEZc … -
Oh this is just silly. If you think something is racist, ask for an explanation. Even if you still don't like it, don't harass & abuse ppl.

This how people should behave, but then they wouldn't get the warm, fuzzy feelings of moral outrage and moral superiority.

Yep. More craziness. At least the head of department says it's ridiculous.

Hmm... I'm in two minds on that one! The old TV B&W Minstrels are seen as offensive; Morris Men? Not so sure!
-
Blackface Morris has nothing to do with black people as the article says. The Perpetually Offended won't research.
@HPluckrose -
True. But it may also be *perceived* as offensive by poc and is by no means central to the dance. Avoidable I think
@HPluckrose -
Offence is determined by the intent of the perpetrator, not by the subject's perception.
-
If you unintentionally strike me, you did not attack me even if I think you did.
-
Perhaps you could be more careful but perhaps I should move out of the way & let you finish your DIY
-
Perhaps these activists should get out the way & let ppl who mean them no harm continue their hobbies

Lol - what next, whingeing about Dick van Dyke wearing black smudges in Mary Poppins? @GodlessRobin

For those with short memories, do I even need to add that this tweet resulted in an absolute shitstorm? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/british-army-racist-tweet-advert-official-account-soldier-blackface-camouflage-jungle-robust-humour-a7369291.html …

"The message was deleted minutes after it was posted on Wednesday morning amid a storm of criticism."

Good ol' Camouflage. I remember having to coat my face in that stuff a few times during FTX in the woods.
-
none of the black soldiers I knew even thought about black face. We just concealed ourselves however we wanted.
-
That's because black soldiers are not eternally on the lookout for something to be offended at.
