@UKTesco@neilstewart I am sorry, which one do you feel is offensive?

Honestly, if i were to be offended everytime I see a white dude with rastafari/reggae attire, I wouldn't live anymore.

black face? i thought it was just excessive tan. like a tourist or something.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:25 (eleven years ago) link
this is a losing argument at this point but "blackface" is a specific thing and using the term to describe every instance where someone puts on brown makeup (which often can be offensive!) is stupid

I think that was just that guy's natural skin color... I mean, if you're going to do blackface the point isn't to look like George Hamilton, rite?

idk man the one with the afro wig and bone necklace is pretty close to blackface, altho i guess they used red lipstick instead of white lipstick. obv i am using the term as shorthand, but yeah, i dont have a better quick term to go with.

i get the criticism tho and accept it, chalk it up to lexical laziness on my part

Drop dead can refer to:
* Dropdead, a hardcore punk band of Rhode Island * Drop Dead, a 1984 LP by the hardcore punk band Siege * Drop Dead Clothing, a clothing brand owned by Bring Me the Horizon lead singer Oliver Sykes

You can't paint all of Ole Miss with the same brush, but every time something like this comes up, I think back to this paragraph written a few years ago when racism reared its ugly head in Oxford for the 239847th time.
It is not that Ole Miss itself condones this or isn't trying to eliminate it. The chancellor, for example, has asked the band to stop playing "From Dixie With Love" if fans don't stop chanting, "The South will rise again."
They say Ole Miss is "The Harvard of the South". I mean, I'm sure the Chancellor up there has had to deal with the same issues, amirite?

The entire "hey, I told them not to do that" thing with southern universities is some apply-head-to-desk shit. When my friends were at LSU the administration kept telling people not to bring the little flags to the football games that people saw as team-supporting: purple and gold versions of a confederate flag

my high school's mascot was "the rebels" and all our shit had rebel flags on it! i was on the soccer team, and this was v annoying to deal with. when my friends and i protested it we got loads of shit! a pal of mine was slammed between a door+wall repeatedly by the football team. it was a huge hoopla. 10 yrs later they finally re-evaluated it

this was all complicated by the fact that our top football rival was a mostly black high school
