THIS IS A HILARIOUS RESPONSE TO people trying to derail posts about how blackface is unacceptable with the line, WELL WHAT ABOUT WHITEFACE?: I agree!!! Whiteface in America has a long, hurtful history. The first mass distributed instance I remember is the Eddie Murphy SNL skit in the early 80s. This was extremely hurtful because it followed the roundup and internment of white Americans from their native lands of Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. The next instance I recall was that White Chicks movie which followed the Supreme Court decision to restrict white voter rights. Then, here comes Dave Chappelle, playing his white faced reporter just after BET denied white reporters the right to work for their network, using an insidious grandfather clause as their basis for denial. There is a long, painful legacy of whiteface and I stand along with you to ensure that that tradition is killed, along with the practice of restricting white rights in this country. h/t to Ian D.
