I think many people who did buy into their racist domestication programming did finally break out of that. We can't blame them for what they were erroneously taught growing up. What should be important is do their actions show they've changed their views NOW. If someone has changed then it's wrong to punish them for their past beliefs.

Okay but .... I found one of these in a thrift shop and its still one of my favourite ornaments, and I didn't pick it up because I'm racist or because its worth about $30.00 and I got it for $1.25, i got it because its charming. American Blackface clowning is simply part of Entertainments history and if you look at it right there is a beauty to it.

The "Blackface" clown like in Lithiumgirl's post is not smudging his face for blacface, it's to simulate a beard because he hasn't shaved because he's a hobo, bum, homeless, whatever you want to call it, not because he's pretending to be black. There's a difference.

Its called blackface clowning for a reason and its simply part of history and entertainment, and I think only people with an agenda would fail to see that their is a beauty in it ... when i hang it on my tree each year I don't feel any hostility toward black people, and I don't hang it because because I'm a racist .... its simply Nostalgia.
 

After the American Civil War, about 1865, the tramp or hobo clown developed, inspired by the homeless and migratory workers of that time who roamed America on the trains.

WC Fields was a tramp clown, but he changed his image for motion pictures, dropping the tramp look.

Emmett Kelly was the best known tramp clown with his character "Weary Willie."

@cubby ... I know what I own and i stand by my remarks that I purchased it because its charming and nostalgic and not because I'm a racist.
 
All the people on that list are hypocrites anyway and no one should give up a single second of their time listening to, or caring about, anything they say. We all know that the elitist assholes don’t hold themselves to the same standards as they hold everyone else. I do think people can change and we should move on from the past. We should judge people based on what they’ve done more recently.

I for one find it disturbing that Ralph Northam is a pediatric neurologist and thinks it’s ok to abort babies up to 40 weeks and even after birth. I found myself filled with rage and disgust when listening to his recent interview in which he described how they’d resuscitate a child during birth if needed and then allow the mother to choose whether or not the child lives afterwards. Planned Parenthood, started by Margaret Sanger, a known racist and eugenicist that wanted to exterminate black people, as well as the disabled, donated money to his campaign. I sure as hell wouldn’t let him near my kids. I don’t think he should be anywhere near children. I don’t think he should hold any office of government. The majority of these narcissistic and greedy people in government, are closet racists or far worse and are not to be trusted. I don’t care which side of politics they claim to be on.
 
Jimmy Kimmels impersonation of Karl Malone is one of the greatest things in comedic history. Anyone who disagrees is a fucking idiot. This is not up for debate and is not a matter of personal taste or opinion.

Also, that doesn't qualify as black face. Applying makeup as part of a full costume in order to portray a specific individual for the purpose of comedy/satire, especially when it's being done in a tasteful and in no way insulting manner, is in no way the same as the traditional offensive facial makeup known as "blackface".
 
Rachel Dolezal, the former NAACP leader who pretended to be black before being unmasked as white, has reached a settlement in a welfare fraud case brought by the state of Washington.

An attorney for Dolezal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016, confirmed that she accepted a diversion agreement on March 25, under which she will pay undisclosed restitution and complete 120 hours of community service.

The onetime president of the NAACP's Spokane chapter was charged with theft by welfare fraud, perjury and false verification for public assistance.

Court documents alleged that she illegally received $8,747 in food assistance and $100 in child care assistance from August 2015 through November 2017.

An investigation was launched in March 2017 when a state official received information that Dolezal had written her autobiography, In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World.

A criminal investigator with the Department of Social and Health Services reviewed Dolezal's records and found she had been reporting that her sole source of income was $300 per month in gifts from friends.

Her scheme unraveled when investigators learned that a typical contract with her book's publisher would include payments of $10,000 and $20,000 as advances against later royalties.

They also found Dolezal had obtained a business license under multiple trade names which she was using to promote the sale of In Full Color as well as her art, soaps and handmade dolls.

She claimed in a BBC interview last year that ethnicity is not biological and compared being 'transracial' to being transgender.

She then released her book, titled In Full Color, and people said she was using her 'white privilege' to make her arguments.

In Dolezal's memoir, she likened being forced to do household chores as a child to indentured servitude and noted that she developed a 'similar resourcefulness' to that which slaves were forced to develop so she could complete her chores.

She claimed that the mere act of forcing kids to do household chores was similar to 'the institution of chattel slavery in America'.

Dolezal also wrote about how her first marriage ended because she was 'too black' for her African-American husband.

She detailed how she evolved over the years from being a blonde white girl with freckles into her current state of 'Blackness'.

Why is that Dolezal whores restitution costs not public? She stole public tax dollars, taxpayers have a right to know how much teh govt is going to demand she pays back.
