now, a white-person-in-blackface thing would be considerably MORE racist because of, as Michael White notes, the 500 years of history behind the practice

yeah there's no such thing as whiteface really; that's why brian austin green's face up there doesn't signify much at all

which means "role reversal" doesn't seem like a precise enough description of whatever it is you're trying to get at, frogbs

well, my idea of it is that if there was no such thing as "blackface", this probably wouldn't have been such a big deal

I think it's the same reason why you wouldn't really see a word like honky or cracker printed in a derogatory sense in a magazine, it's not like any white people could be offended at them , it just opens up another can of worms that doesn't really sit well

you won't see honky or cracker printed in a derogatory sense in a magazine because those epithets have no weight for the same reason there's no such thing as whiteface.

i love that this shit is coming so fast that neither of the following either merited attention as standouts:

in other words, maybe look around the internet a bit and see what they're saying? - somehow almost the actual antonym for 'crack open a book why don't you'

&

Like yeah I don't think anybody's getting all uppity about that and I certainly don't want to suggest that I was.

which you know just let's take this in one word at a time and see if we hit any problems along the way

i can't tell if he says stuff like "uppity" on purpose or not!

Yes, I noticed that myself and cringed at its ineptitude.

Georgia GOP Congressman Calls Obama 'Uppity'

Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, a conservative Republican from Georgia, let slip today what critics have been saying is the subtext of many of the attacks on Barack Obama: He's "uppity."

According to The Hill, a Capitol Hill newspaper, Westmoreland was discussing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's acceptance speech outside the House chamber today when he veered into his thoughts on Michelle and Barack Obama.

"Just from what little I've seen of her and Mister Obama, Senator Obama, they're a member of an elitist class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.

When a reporter sought clarification on the racially loaded word, Westmoreland replied, "Uppity, yeah."
