OH MY FREAKING GOD I LITERALLY HATE EVERYONE.
Rant 1: Blackface Situation
Dear White People That Get Butthurt Over “Blackface”,
You need to stop. I understand that Blackface can be offensive, and shouldn’t be a laughing matter, but you know what? I am SICK and TIRED of freaking 12 year old WHITE PEOPLE complaining about celebrities with spray tans saying that it’s offensive because it’s “Blackface.” Okay, first of all, before we can fully go into this topic, let us research what the actual definition of Blackface is.
the makeup used by a nonblack performer playing a black role. The role played is typically comedic or musical and usually is considered offensive."he appeared in blackface"
used to imply patronization of blacks by whites or by institutions perceived to be insincerely or ineffectively nonracist.
Recently, a celebrity my friend enjoys got a spray tan from his friend, and it was completely overdone. About 60% of the comments were complaining that is was Blackface. No it wasn’t. This man was not, in any way, acting like he was black. The caption literally said something like “Don’t let Tanya give you a tan” and the comments were (of course) little white 13 year old girls saying things like “Even if it was unintentional, it was still Blackface, and it’s offensive.” “Yes, Nick Cannon can do Whiteface, No, You Can’t Do Blackface.” Oh my goodness. The amount of cringe that people give me, it literally makes me want to kill myself. Every time I read something so incredibly stupid written by someone who probably doesn’t know what they’re talking about, I lose hope in humanity. We’re going to kill ourselves off because people of this, no, let me rephrase that, TEENAGERS of this generation don’t know when to stop. They don’t know when they sound stupid, so they keep arguing about unimportant topics thinking that they’re superior, when in reality, NO ONE CARES.
Hey, did you notice that black people aren’t getting offended about “Blackface”? Hmmm.... I wonder why. Maybe it’s because the majority of white people are over-sensitive and they think they’re doing the world a favor by getting angry at people who aren’t even doing Blackface. Blackface is when you are impersonating a black person, that includes their vocals, personality, AND appearance. Most of the people I’ve seen that are accused of doing Blackface, aren’t even doing it. So just stop. Mmkay?
In conclusion, if you are white, and between the ages of 11-19, your opinion about Blackface is literally irrelevant unless the person you are accusing is DIRECTLY offending a black person by:
Verbally insulting them (Oh look I’m a black person hahaha...)
Physically harming them (pushing, hitting, etc.)
Directly stating that they’re doing Blackface (#blackface, Look I’m doing Blackface)
So people, make sure you KNOW your facts before you go around complaining to people you don’t even know. Seriously, it just makes you look annoying, slightly racist, or just plain stupid.
