As white people have been slaves, that puts us on even footing, so whiting up and blacking up are the same.
Puts us on even footing?

If I didn't know you were serious I might laugh.

If so, could you elaborate?

Sorry Marshy, I wasn't referring to you at all. Just in general.

Virtually all races have both been slaves and held slaves. No-one alive today has anything whatsoever to do with the historic slave trade, so everyone's hands are clean.

It's not about whose hands are or aren't clean FFS, no one is asking you personally to feel guilty about historic slavery so stop lashing out defensively, it's nonsense

It's about the very obvious an real ongoing effect that black slavery has had and is still having and I honestly, honestly hope that your insistence that white and black people are "on an even footing" (just... what) when it comes to the effects of slavery and social inequality, and that "blacking up" has no more of a negative implication than (fictional) "whiting up" is purely down to naivety and nothing more sinister. I say that because 15 years ago I might have been caught saying something similar but I'm going to be blunt here and say that these sorts of opinions come from a place of inexperience and arrogance. But they are toxic. I hope you give it some real thought, eventually.

I can fully accept that, as with all things, there is always room for nuance BUT some of the attempts at justification on this thread are actually mind-blowing.

...the blacking of faces by minstrel performers was only ever done to mock and ridicule and depict in a negative way ...I don’t think there was ever a time when it wasn’t insulting or degrading...why would anyone want to blackface and insult and degrade someone or mock them ...for the fun of it..

For me personally I don't mind racist humour, I've watched loads of Family Guy episodes for example that mock racist people whilst also doing stereotypes on black people. I've even seen the show make out like all British people look like Tony Blair and I find it funny rather than offensive.

However the problem with the Minstrel shows by the sounds of them is that they were done to be malicious towards black people, rather than inviting them into the joke like shows like Family Guy, American Dad, and South Park can do.

Of course there was Ammi - when music fans blacked up as Bob Marley for fancy dress parties inside the imaginations of TiBB members.

I don't see why being allowed to wear a wig is any different...you are clearly depicting a black guy when you are a white guy!

Your attempts at normalising racism are absolutely staggering. Probably for the attention.

I've seen plenty of people blacked up as various people for fancy dress and every single time it was for a cheap laugh / bit of attention through being "hehe controversial!" and nothing to do with liking or admiring the person they were dressed up as. Show me someone who claims to have blacked up as a celebrity as a mark of respect for that celebrity, and I'll show you an idiot or a liar.

I don't know anyone that's claimed to black up...I know plenty who have or would pop a bit make up on to complete the look of thier musical icon though.

A joke that all British people look like Tony Blair isn't racism.

I've never seen a black person whiten up their skin for a costume (as a white person) outside of 90s/00s comedy sketches
