Race controversy up here in Benton
Posted by Zach on 2/28/17 at 10:52 am310
A local white minister is running for office. One of his opponents found a pic of him wearing black face at a party. He's supposed to be Tiger Woods. I don't know if this has gone state wide yet.

Here's a link to the photo...

I'm not voting for the guy. It was a dumb arse thing to do.

If he was portraying a specific person, and not putting on a minstrel show or otherwise mocking a whole race, how is this offensive?
And if it's Tiger Woods that he's portraying, do African Americans only get to be 50% outraged?

How bad does life suck now that shite like this passes for not only "news," but is an actual obstacle to real merit-based progress?

Doesn't matter. If ole baw giving away office space to the JBE campaign, as well as maxing out donations to JBE didn't sink him, this will.

I'm not offended. It's just that there are 4 republicans in the race and this tips me off that he is not the smartest apple in the basket.
He is an idiot. As a military member he is well aware of how this would be received. He may be a good person (I don't know) but he doesn't make great decisions. He knew, he just didn't care. Anyone who has studied the history of blackface in theater knows why people are outraged.
It's not the same as a black person putting on whiteface. It has a long ugly history of portraying horrible stereotypes.

Michael Jackson tried to go white. Was he chastised for it? I don't see a problem here if it wasn't done in poor taste.

Pretty sure he only admits to being 25% Black,

Usually there is no real problem. It's probably inappropriate to use blackface, but I don't think many of the examples I've seen were harmful or insulting in any real way.
But, as Zach indicates, you've gotta be a total fricking moron to do this as a person interested in politics.

well I know that I will never be able to run for public office since there are plenty of photos around of when I went as Lil Jon (in black face) for Halloween like 10 years ago
oh well
My brother went as Wayne at LSU during Halloween in full black face and dreads. Everyone white and black thought it was awesome. He had more black people ask for pics than anyone else.
Only SJWs and the constantly offended are triggered by black face.
He was told then "They hate us cause they ain't us" so he tried to be like em. Depending on how one acts in black face or white face, who really cares? If you act accordingly and without malice towards the respective race, who really cares? What a white guy can't dress up like Martin Luther King for Halloween? I guess when you play the victim all the time, even honorable things have to be racist huh?

There's a couple of sororities in my grandparents LSU yearbooks from the early 60s.
Yeah they weren't racist back then.
So it happened 15 years ago and everyone is going batshit. I hope no one finds out I took a piss off the side of my boat 2 weeks ago; the environmental Nazis would lose their collective shite.
I sincerely hope that I never get so pussified & thin skinned that stupid shite like this bothers me.
I can guarandamnteeit that had he went without the blackface and was going as Tiger, they'd lose their shite bc he was whitening up Tiger.

Jackson is martyred for being a white pedophile.
