i don't people were clutching their pearls because omg what an offensive image. i think it was mostly "if you're gonna write an article about imagining mike vick as a white person then do what you do, but it's weird, unnecessary and a bit too on the nose to actually photoshop the guy as a white person. nobody needs that, because if we were so inclined we could imagine such a thing in our heads. it seems very trolly."
Yeah I don't want to suggest it's something that's actually offensive, just more a thing where everyone can agree it's kind of in bad taste. Like yeah I don't think anybody's getting all uppity about that and I certainly don't want to suggest that I was.

The question I guess is why,
I just told you why...? because it's non-black people using a black person's skin color as a source of humor/provocation. which is racist.

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

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'

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."
