The "Karen" stereotype is a form of whiteface. Caricatures of "whiteness" are done all the time.
Media has eliminated "blackface" to protect the sensibilities of black people. My point is that's bullshit.
Do blackface. Do whiteface. No group is above critique.
I would just like a rational explanation why "blackface" is taboo?
And yes, I know that black people have endured much more oppression than any other minority and that includes queer folks. I don't give a fuck. In a nation which prizes free speech, blackface is an acceptable form of satire.
B) If you don't give a fuck then neither do I. I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt over the time we've conversed on here, but I now see no choice but to finally acknowledge that you really are just an asshole. And I can say that... because I don't give a fuck.
Dude, what self righteous bullcrap.
You're making an ad hominem judgment over a disagreement on philosophy of action.
Are you implying I'm racist because I don't think any form of entertainment should be taboo?
I'll put my beliefs on racial issues up against anyone here. I think I'm the only white man here who supports slavery reparations. I support affirmative action for African-Americans only. No, I wouldn't give white women the benefit of AA. So just how does my lack of concern over blackface make me an asshole?
Sorry, I don't believe any group is immune from satire. And I don't care if some middle class black or any black gets offended.
What I see as more pernicious is how blacks are portrayed as criminals, gays as silly effeminate nice guys, and Latinos as kitchen help. Satire in blackface is harmless.
