What if the person doing it isn't parodying or belittling anyone? What if they're like Eddie Murphy in whiteface to play an old Jewish dude at the barbershop?

But Megyn was talking about an innocent intent. Like my granddaughter who wants to be Tiana. She can wear the clothes, but better not use makeup to look like her. How do I tell her why that is, without doing the very thing that makes blackface bad in the first place?

I do not think it is only the intent. There is a history of blackface and what it meant and continues to mean to certain people. White face does not have that history. And I'm a hardcore President Donald Trump supporting conservative.

Care to discuss the tribes involved in the French and Indian Wars and the intertribal affiliations and their allegiance to the French and to the British and to the Colonists? I’d be happy to teach you some history

Imperialists have always rewritten history.

The winners always get to write the history books. Or for pre-literate civilizations, sit around the campfire telling the stories to the young.
