ANTI-IKON 1,013 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Someone pulled a blackface on Kim Kardashian recently: http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4874687 The practice is common in countries such Germany, Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, Japan and even during Halloween: http://black-face.com/blackface-world.htm Snoop Dogg took a picture with a korean man with a blackface. So what do hypocritical westerns who impose their ethnocentric views on other cultures have to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta77 985 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Blackface is offensive to me. I don't know how others feel but I know how I feel and its offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloomy Dreams 685 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Since when did Snoop dog become a Representative for Black people? Black face is racist and offensive. Just because it's not offensive to you, doesn't mean it's not offensive for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinagyo 1,211 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 "Three Wise Men Germany - Austria -- Children in Germany and Austria go door to door pretending to be the Wise Men celebrating the birth of Jesus. They sing and ask for donations for charity while wearing costumes. One child wears blackface because it is believed that one of the wise men was from Africa." wow. I didn't even realize that in my country 'blackface' also exists. In my country there's no such practice but on Christmas Eve in churches a reenactment of Jesus birth takes place. It's always the children who are actors even though the script is written by adults (which are educated so they supposedly should know about blackface history but I haven't meet a countryman which knew about it. Just some of kpop fans knew about blackface...) Now when I think about it there's possibility that sometimes a child wears blackface. (other times a black mask is used). It symbolizes the fact that according to Jesus all people of different races are equal. To think that in other countries blackface has different offensive meaning... When I was a kid I also participated in such performance. Thankfully I didn't get a role of Wise Man but an angel so I wasn't ordered to do blackface >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
