Why is black face make up still offensive?

I understand back in the day of silent movies and stuff where the black face make up was offensive, but today someone cannot wear black face make up to a Halloween party and offend someone.
I bet you 90% of the black community today doesn't even know why it is offensive.
No one gets offended when white people wear it in the Zulu parade.

Try this theory out. Go to the 9th ward in black-face and tell us how it goes.

There is no black community.
But I encourage you to find the nearest black neighborhood and galavant around in blackface for a solid day. Report back when you do

The reason I brought this subject up, I saw this. Julianne Hough went to a Halloween party dressed as "Crazy Eyes" from "Orange is the New Black".
She is dressed as a character, not poking fun at an entire race of people, and she caught a lot of shite for it.

I'm black and you offend me just by asking this.

Black people are more sensitive about stuff like this than white folks. Happy?
Then again, maybe as a people they've had to endure just a little bit of bullshite that we haven't, don't you think? Just a little?

Then why is ok for white people to wear it when riding in the Zulu parade? Does that offend you?

Because Americans have turned into a bunch of pussies that wander around looking for things to be offended by so they can scream at the top of their keyboards on social media.

Yes, the reasoning behind why blackface was offensive is lost on many.
It does lead to some funny moments, like when my friend painted his face black to be an Ipod shadow when those commercials were on.
Black people kept giving him the look on Carlotta.

Only more recently I suppose. Not overall by any stretch. And that has little to do with say, the Hough example.
