We can say whatever we want!Why is that?Sure it is.Yeah, well I just try to understand folks, up to a certain point. You and I aren't black so it's not really our place to say.I think its all stupid.I didn't get why it was racist for Northam to dress in that costume, so I asked yesterday in another thread and it was explained to me: It is because of the victimization of blacks by the KKK. If it had been a Nazi and holocaust survivor costumes, the outrage would have been instantaneous. Then there is the blackface issue. That is highly disrespectful stereotyping of blacks (or was during the time blackface was in vogue, 100 years ago).
So that's the reasons why Northam is in a world of trouble. However, a guy wearing brown makeup to look like a rapper doesn't fit either of those objections.
Our society is stupid and petty
Bingo. No more need be said.
