Black face isn't cool but the movie "White Chicks" is fine. I smell a double standard.
For you and others to review.
Started at a time when Black people were considered “Less than human”
Shows Black people have no and deserve no dignity
Used as a “Set up” to the joke (I’s gon sing you’s perty white folks a song tu-day)
Used to de-humanize, belittle and make fun of those that are “Less than”
Originally done by white people for white people
Originally done by white people in white only establishments
Originally a degrading visual joke (Ha! Ha! Look at me, I’m one of THEM! Yuck!)
By design, was to not only laugh at but show what niggers were REALLYlike
‘Caused (and continues to cause) pain to Black people
Made black people into caricatures (not human, a symbol to belittle)
Unable to count how many times done. Not just a joke, or party trick.Actually part of history.
Done while white people are in power
Unable to dehumanize because the power holders lose nothing (Dignity, power, ect)
At most, shows how white people react to things like brown people being anywhere near them but also shows their big reactions to small things while simultaneously telling brown people to “Get over” HUGE things like racism.
Has been done to show PRIVILEGE not to show that they are “Less than.” Think about the EXACT “Stereotypes” being placed on white people while actors have done white face.
Has no historical relevance
If a white person’s feelings were hurt by white face, they wake up the next day and no one will judge THEM by what they saw. Black people were (and still are) BELIEVED to be these caricatures.
