    This pretending themselves black is apparently a much bigger thing for some white guys than I ever really knew. What's the fascination, guys? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/06/us/politics/virginia-blackface-mark-herring.html …

        Have no clue. I grew in small mixed race town and I never saw a single person do it. Nobody thought about it or talked about it. Common sense.

        Black superiority. Deep down, they know.

        I grew up in a lily white area, w/o knowledge of the history of blackface. I can half-see someone thinking of it as something like a Halloween costume. (Except I'd expect an adult to step in and say "Not appropriate, kid. Be a pirate this year instead.")

        I think it’s subconscious envy of the apparent mental fortitude, physical endurance demonstrated while enslaved, unique talents risen in American music and so much more.
