dan doesn't seem to agree with you!

No, I meant literally dated....as, to the best of my knowledge, they don't make them (the actual lawn ornaments) anymore.....though drive around Long Island and you'll still spot a few, not to mention in midtown Manhattan.....

No, probably not. Since most of our ethnic minorities have been here for thirty years or less, I assume American culture is far more sensitive to racial imagery as related to, say, Asian or African people. We do have seem older ethnic groups such as the Sami and the Roma people, but they obviously don't show up at all in American culture.

i don't know if he does but, if so, it does call into question your use of the phrase "De Facto".

Blackface is de facto offensive. My issue is this: should a child dressed up as Ben Wallace for Halloween be considered blackface? Exactly what does that say about how you view people like Ben Wallace that that was your first reaction to seeing the child? In my mind, this is the racist liberal issue rearing its ugly head again.

dan i think the point is that blackface is de facto offensive

which i agree is debateable but i think most americans would agree

Er, I'd argue that in the kid's mind it isn't.

Yes, I think that that entire line of thought is incredibly dehumanising to black people because the point SHOULD be that we are all people and therefore should get treated the same. There shouldn't be anything special or taboo about a child wanting to dress up as a highly visible and incredibly popular basketball player. Basically, by blanket-calling every single instance where someone wears makeup darker than their skin tone "blackface", you are helping to peretuate the racial divide in this country.

Finally, don't fucking tell me what I should find offensive, white boy.

And would it be offensive for a girl to dress up like a man?

face-ah.

You know, I've been at ballparks where these are given away to all kinds of people...

in which actual context is this not offensive?

and she was japanese, rather than chinese :((((

also i was crawling out of a "sony" brand TV which is a japanese TV manufacturer when i really should have done with say "Konka" brand, just so that i don't appear to have stereotyped Japan with the Sony brand when actualy it just happened to be a famous TV brand used to signify my cardboard box to be a TV. :((((((((((((((

i was a racist dick :(

Also wtf kind of person gives someone else shit for wearing a Negro Leagues hat?

and i sometimes wear tshirts with english writings on them :((((

I don't know that we are. Why do you think this ethan?

lol at khakis

American politicians go blackface.

What the fuck is wrong with all these people?

Milkshake Trudeau is Racist.

I can’t believe he did it so many times! And he was 29!! Shameful.

NBC was a big fan of blackface gags

They were also the network that played The Apprentice. Something not right been up with them for awhile.

Countdown to the discovery of long-missing The Apprentice: Blackface Challenge tapes...

Whole network is rotten from the Today show hosts to the late night wars. Who woulda thunk a broadcasting company owned by G.E. would be so awful.

Oh, they're owned by Comcast now. yes, yes, such an improvement.

Anyway. Halloween this year is going to be horrible. I am looking forward to the McCloskey costumes though.

Er, I've just seen the Bananarama video for "I Want You Back" (with the woman who replaced Siobhan Fahey who no-one remembers)...

Beginning of Culture Club's Do You Really Want To Hurt Me video is another one.

with the woman who replaced Siobhan Fahey who no-one remembers

some of us will always remember the Shillelagh Sisters
