NONE of this would have happened if she had just not posted a single thing online.<br /><br />Her son could have painted himself black, she could be happy about it, and not a single person on facebook would ever find out and have anything to complain about. Win-win all round. <br /><br />Seriously, fuck social media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634124451837397202.post-61036621457224338842016-08-29T03:56:30.049-07:002016-08-29T03:56:30.049-07:00It is ridiculous to assert that blackface is someh...It is ridiculous to assert that blackface is somehow not offensive to us because we are not the USA. Do we share any of their culture? Have you listened to any American music lately? Watched a television show? It's embarrassing when Americans have to point this out to the stupidest of us, and the too-common blanket response is "oh, what a stupid overreaction" just emphasises how clueless some people here are. The ignorance is strengthened and supported by large organised cultures like AFL fans, because their claims of wowserism and political correctness are echoed by a legion of like-minded ignorant people.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17923617766596135089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634124451837397202.post-70316469389178672472016-08-26T20:47:51.834-07:002016-08-26T20:47:51.834-07:00gee Anonymous your brave....please read this artic...gee Anonymous your brave....please read this article and educate yourself furher............... https://overland.org.au/previous-issues/issue-199/feature-maxine-clarke/<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509981261897958340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634124451837397202.post-42416646866146322942016-08-26T16:03:42.221-07:002016-08-26T16:03:42.221-07:00One of the very times in the world a white kid has...One of the very times in the world a white kid has wanted to be black.Pineappledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537230919590486465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634124451837397202.post-7696197475626696472016-08-25T23:58:15.939-07:002016-08-25T23:58:15.939-07:00In reality, black face is only racist in the US
Bu...In reality, black face is only racist in the US<br />But in the last 10-15 years... at very most the past 20 years, it's been slowly growing as a form of racism in Australia... but still it's a form of racism against African Americans.... and incredibly rarely towards indigenous Australians!<br /><br />If i ran into someone with blackface here in Australia, and was a little surprised, i'd ask if it's relating to African Americans, if they say no. i'll let them go on their way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634124451837397202.post-10656790873732637492016-08-25T20:25:38.793-07:002016-08-25T20:25:38.793-07:00Probably the same kind of person who would claim g...Probably the same kind of person who would claim global warming doesn't exit because it's cold today.Bonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276269010304745827noreply@blogger.com
