How is this supposed to work? I'm trying and it's not working. I've been waiting for something like this to be offended by, and now that it's here, I can't make it happen:

Nick Cannon in "White Face"

He doesn't look white, he just looks light skinded.

Why is anyone ever offended by makeup? Blackface? Whiteface? Who gives a shite?

I find it funny. Although the good Rev Sharpton would lose his ever loving mind if a white person did something similar.

Congrats you aren't a perpetual victim looking to blame someone else for all of your problems

Why would you be offended? People are offended by blackface because it represents the fact that there used to be an entire genre of entertainment dedicated to white performers painting their faces and ridiculing black people as being stupid and lazy. If minstrel shows never existed, blackface wouldn't have a negative historical connotation and wouldn't be offensive. And even still, Robert Downey Jr did a blockbuster film in blackface.

I laughed at the video.

People who are offended by this are as ignorant as people who are offended by black face, imo.

Plus, Dave Chappelle has been hilariously mocking white people before Nick Cannon thought it was ok.

That genre doesn't exist, and that genre didn't affect the generation who finds anything to be offended about.

I'm not offended by whiteface, just disgusted by the double standard that its ok for whiteface, but not blackface.

As a young white male I feel objectified by this. This is an insult to all of us Anglo Saxon Master Race white males.

Eddie Murphy did it first and best. Spent a day as a white man. Went to a bank for a loan and the banker showed him a box of money. Told him to just reach in and get what he wanted.

As a white guy, I'm not offended by the "white face"

I am offended, however, by the fact he is putting out another album. Who told this moron he was talented?
