Why do you call it blackface? If I dressed up as a famous black person would you seriously think my intent is racism? Link to post Share on other sites

If my intent is to not be racist but just for one night pretend to be a famous black person you're going to say that's racist? Do you paint your face black for this costume? Do you know the history of blackface? Then no excuses. Also, brb, there's sort of a huge right-wing wave of assassination attempts going on at the moment, so I don't really want to debate the merits of "but why can't i blackface tho?!!?!?" with you.
