anyway i liked hill's comeback here a lot: http://mediamatters.org/video/2010/05/26/oreilly-to-marc-lamont-hill-say-youre-a-cocaine/165373
(i guess it'd be better if he didn't laugh as if this was all just friendly japery but whatever it's nervewracking being on tv and coming up w "you look like a cocaine user" in the allotted time is plenty fleetfooted enough)

many questions are raised by these photos, one of which is "was Rob Brydon really that hard up?"

I'm just sad there isn't a "this is definitely racist" thread.
― Neil S, Wednesday, 31 October 2012 17:12 (eleven years ago) link
i am genuinely a little surprised that a company the size of Tesco thinks this shit is okay. can see a fairly high profile backlash happening if people pick up on this.

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
― Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 18:27 (eleven years ago) link
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
