And face painting does not equate blackface, post articles on African tribes doing blackface and I will accept till then Beyoncé remains an Uncle Tom bending to the wishes of white editors. |
I, as a black person, cannot do black face. What's hard to grasp about that?
I can paint my face darker or lighter or red or blue, but I can't do black face....because I'm ... Black already.
She painted her face darker in some pictures, in others she didn't, in another she did both the dark paint and accented with blue and white paint.
That's not black face. Maybe if she had exaggerated her lips with red paint them I could see your case. But why are you trivializing black face as a discriminatory practice in the white nations to drag Beyoncé?

you guys need to get a grip and go outside and play in traffic. like this argument is so beyond tired.
