Enlighten me. I understand the history of blackface, I understand where and why it originated and why it was offensive. But, in cases like this, or halloween, I don't understand the outrage. In context, with the snapchat caption, it is clear that there was zero offense intended. She wasn't trying to imitate a stereotype, or offend anyone in anyway. Clearly showing she would camouflage herself as a black girl to get a man. Would this not be more in line with flattery? All of this, "it's our culture not a costume", stuff, seems a bit petty.

Sincerely curious

That one right there shouldn't be offensive to black folk I wouldn't think. It's kinda funny. But you really have to wonder how ****ing stupid people are to keep doing it especially when so many students have gotten suspended over shit like this. Are they living under a rock? I don't get it. Hopefully they just accept her apology and don't get her in any trouble for this.

I personally don't have a problem with "black face" or "red face" or dressing up as any "race" really, even if I am Indian (no I don't give a damn about the Redskins mascot, either).

I've got bigger things to worry about.

That being said, she's flat out stupid to do that these days when everyone is on board the PC train and will likely push for her expulsion from OSU.

I don't believe that's an attempt at a "Blackface" costume. Looks more like someone took a photo of a girl using a cosmetic facial mask. Then they created a funny meme from it.

It does look like one of those peel off masks. Anyways, when did America become so damned offended? Getting tired of all this whining.

All I can really say is you would probably have to be a black person to truly understand why something like this might be offensive. I'm not Jewish so I'm not going to scoff at or make light of something many of them are offended by or imply they're weak for being offended.

Exactly.

OP whats the story here? If she posted this on social media I'm sure she posted her reasoning for doing it too. She trying to switch to dark meat? Pretty stupid either way.

You live in a country with people that do this shit and your worries about some dumb bitch making a black face joke.

This world needs a biblical plague already....

Since blackface originated to ridicule and stereotype blacks, it is easy to understand why it is offensive, it is one of many things that needs to go away.

We need to see more "offensive" things like this one. Even if this chick was doing blackface, why cares? I applaud those willing to say FU to the dandy boys and girls finding offense.

So apparently we should be offended that some girl had a mud mask on but white people being the butt of damn near every minority comedy routine and Hollywood show is ok?

I agree that blackface needs to go away but is this really that offensive? It seems like people are a little too jumpy these days and they don't take context into consideration with anything.
