Honest question.

I know there are a lot of SJWs out there these days spouting off about how everything a white man does/says is racist and sexists, but how did this one get started? I really can't see anything at all that is wrong with this.

black people are barred from being made fun of in any way, shape, or form unless it's by another black person. Completely logical.

because everyone's clit is hypersensitive these days. We are growing up in a world filled with over emotional retards who are triggered over peeing while not sitting down.

It was used in comedy bits alongside some pretty unflattering stereotypes. If it weren't for that history of it, I doubt it would be offensive.


You're welcome for the serious response. If you'd like to know more, fricking Google it.

Black people get to tell you what they can and/or will be sensitive about. It's all the rage.

Naw, it's far beyond just black people. You can't make fun of any minority or gender. The only people who can be made fun of are white people, and the only people who can make fun of any gender or minority are other minorities.

I'd like to know how long it's going to be before white face is considered racist or offensive.

Oh for frick's sake! Of all the nit picky bullshite one could fairly complain about today's overly sensitive society, blackface is not one of them.


Why do people complain about burning crosses? Somethings are legitimately in bad taste.

I was informed today that I can't go dressed as Lamar Odom with my wife as a crack whore for Halloween. Days of planning down the drain.

Just buy an Obama mask. All black people look enough alike for it to be believable.

Pretty sure if you wore an Odom jersey people would know who you were portraying with or without the black face
