When your singing and dancing MIMICKING black people in blackface, it's offensive, period.
Whether your imitating a singer, band whatever, you are mimicking a BLACK person at the end of it all.
Or is it because they're kids on a TV show it's innocent? :uhh:
They didn't need to be in blackface to mimic an already famous band, when a simple costume and the SONG choice would've made it obvious who they are impersonating in the first place :dead:
Like bitch, if 3 Filipino girls got on stage and dressed in matching army fatigues and started singing "Survivor" it wouldn't take the average person 2 guesses to see they were doing Destiny's Child :uhh:

Things can be done tastefully and not offensive. I think what they did was tasteful and not the true black face of the past, which overly exaggerated black features and hair in a way to ridicule and make fun of black people. That is the difference, mimicking someone is not bad, and not racist, and is often just a form of entertainment. This is common in entertainement, rather Madea (a man as a woman) or White Chicks, it is just entertainment. Now if they had dreads and prosthetic noses and large lips this would be a different discussion.

Exactly. They darkened their skin for the full effect in this case and it wasn?t to poke fun at features or a group of people.

Why feel the need to do all that ?

Why do men dress as women in drag shows? To put on a SHOW!

I'll do that whilst you work on leveling up your brain cells.

Trying to talk to me about grammar when you can't seem the grasp the simplest of points, comparing blackface to drag queens.
I guess that is America.
