Everyone wanna be black till the cops show up
-
it’s not just offensive, it’s creepy af
-
Even as a small child, I realized that this was rude, disrespectful, repulsive and disgusting when I saw an old movie on television. It was sickening and always will be!
-
Imagine dragging thousands of people from their homeland away from their families to enslave them to do forced labor that you don’t want to do yourself and turn around and called them “lazy?”🤢
-
They had black children in these plays. How horrible and humiliating
-
this is disgusting. my skin color is not your costume.
-
You know it’s wrong when it is visually discomforting without even having to be explained.
-
Imagine how insane you have to be, to want to dress up as a caricature of the people you “hate.” While off stage, still berating them, beating them, MURDERING them like????? Insane!
-
I can’t believe people say “This is not racist. It’s an art form” smh 🤦♀️
-
y’all wanna be black but don’t wanna be treated black.
-
This really needs to be taught in school, so many kids today see being black as a 'cool' or 'edgy' thing, so they try to copy us. But, they don't want to 'copy' the experience, or remember the history behind it.
-
The fact it is tied to humor and light hearted moments is absolutely terrifying
-
Brown or white egg, we all have the same yolk.
-
Does black face creep or scare anyone else? I don’t understand how this was ever acceptable
-
History of America is very dark.
-
It’s crazy because I remember being little and seeing a snippet and was legit scared to go to bed… and was scrubbing my skin to the point I literally would bruise… it’s creepy… and still prevalent whether in person or behind closed doors…
-
And they mad about having a black Ariel 😒
-
Treat everybody the same no matter what skin ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
-
Why wasn’t Jimmy Kimmel banned or fired for his blackface skits????
-
That last comment she makes is so under appreciated. This is history, when it is suppressed and censored it only comes back. All these videos should be on YouTube for everyone to see how far we have come!
