Wrong.
Blackface was not created to imitate black people, it was to ridicule them by turning them into caricatures both with racist stereotypes and appearances meant to dehumanise them.
The act of painting one's face black to imitate a black person can never be anything other than racist. To attempt to justify blackface is shocking.
