I think there's a difference between homage and an offensive parody/caricature

If Heidi Klum did a photo shoot dolled up as Grace Jones or Naomi Campbell with black paint on ha body, she would get roasted for year straight.
Thats because of the roots and history of blackface lol

I think it depends on the blackface.



Don't see the big deal with this or that Kanye one...

yeah i think when the paint is done right i dont see the problem .. the crazy eyes one works.. but when youre using that BLACK AS TAR PAINT like they used back in the day you know?? it just looks bad ...


cause we can dress up in white face and no one says anything

LiiVE

I mean I'm not really offended by it but when they're giving off some stereotypical type mess then yeah.

I think there is a difference between trying to dress as a slave or a rapist and painting yourself black or dressing up as Akon and therefore adjusting your skin color.

U can pull off any custome without black face
Jimmy Fallon is an example

It's sorta sad when someone perches the 3 black people to ever do white face ..
Fff
And not truly knowing the history of black face and the negative connotation behind it

And there is a strong history behind blackface.
So any time that it's done, side eyes will emerge immediately, regardless of intent.
Beyonce is a black woman who did blackface and still received backlash, since she's lightskindedededededed.

It's a really hurtful history behind those types of images; anyone who dares to do it better tread very lightly.

Whiteface on the other hand -- where is the joke in it? Where's the shade? Whites are regarded as a superior race in this country, and many others as well. We have people putting on permanent whitefaces every day with these damn bleaching creams and mess. And blond fucking wigs, and those tacky looking colored contacts.

It's fucking disgusting tbh. So Tyra's shoot was nothing more than an extension of the homage that we pay white people every fucking day.
