The Evolution of the Culture Vulture by Lani's Lens
Red gleams the sun on yon hill-tap, The dew sits on the gowan; Deep murmurs through her glens the Spey, Around Kinrara rowan. Where are thou, fairest, kindest lass? Alas! wert thou but near me, Thy gentle soul, thy melting eye, Would ever, ever cheer me. The lav'rock sings among the clouds, The lambs they sport so cheerie, And I sit weeping by the birk: O where art thou, my dearie? Aft may I meet the morning dew, Lang greet till I be weary; Thou canna, winna, gentle maid! Thou canna be my dearie.
“Kinrara” (Tune: Neil Gow) by Robert Couper, M.D. (1750-1818) Likely published in “Poetry, chiefly in the Scottish Language” (Inverness, 1804) Sourced from “The Modern Scottish Minstrel” (Vol I-VI) by Charles Rogers, from Project Gutenberg
43% of Americans find it acceptable for a white person to use black face make up as part of a Halloween costume, and 37% find it unacceptable.
However, while nearly half (46%) of white Americans find black face make up acceptable, only about a fifth (21%) of African Americans feel the same way. And while one in three whites find it unacceptable, about seven in 10 (68%) black people do.
Guess which group you should respect? (hint to white people: the group you are portraying)
I have heard concerns from white people that darkening one's skin isn't the same as blackface. I would encourage those white people to shut up.
