To open eyes to the racism, that white supremacists have watered down to look subtle. We need to know the shows country, their history with black people and colonialism. Also how do they treat black people in soccer games and other areas. If racism is hot in that area then yes the blackface is some shady form of demeaning another race, but has been made a norm, that its all about singing.
If white people treated black people equally, with respect and equal opportunities, this issues would fade away but guess what, brexit,trump and the rise of right wing politics in Europe, racism against Africans in east Europe and even Russia prove, folks still do have colorism issues.

They do black face in every European country that has its own version of this show, I'm black and never found it offensive, neither did any black person I know. Yes there is racism in Europe but black face made no part of the racial history context like in the US, hence why it's not seen as offensive.
All this back and forth is useless, Americans will never understand that racism and the actions that came from it were different in different parts of the world, theatrical shows where white people painted as black to mock black people were an American thing.

I read that Hollywood will do Blackface for the lack of Black Actors during those early times of film. So it wasn't that they were necessary making fun of Black people (except in cases when it was like in a comedy where they were parodying/stereotyping how a Black person will act) but also they did not have enough Black actors to fill up roles of Black people since either Blacks were discriminated and could not get in Hollywood or they did not have enough acting training/experience in the early ages of Hollywood. It eventually went away when more people complaint and Black actors started to appear more in Hollywood so it wasn't necessary for them to keep doing the Blackface and instead hire real Black Actors.

I really didn't expect this thread to head in this direction.
She wasn't a good impersonator because she didn't look or sound like Rih. The only thing giving it away was the hair.

The color of the skin is so insignificant as the color of the eye. Having problem cause someone made his skin darker in order to look like the desired effect is really promoting racism.

bolded is interesting, makes sense i suppose given the context (historic 'blackface' in us vs eu)

And the biggest racists are the ones making a huge deal out of it in this thread. The self-exposé..No one even cares if they painted ha face black up in this bitch, people want to see whether they can pull off the entire look + vocals on this show. Most of the artists on this show actually pay their respect to the artists and take their job seriously and so do the make up artists involved.
