Obviously blackface is racial, even in poor humor it’s racist.

What about wearing a head feather. Or other Native American garb?

Making slant eyes? I did that in elementary school, was that racist?

Can racism be against a certain class of people, either ultra rich, or meth heads. I really don’t like walking into a gas station and the person behind the counter taking money is about to chew their tongue off.

What if a black person did white face? Is that racist?

Is not liking Russians racist? I’m cool with them, but there are many who are not.

In society we really need a list of what is and isn’t racist. We also need a timeline describing when it is ok to be mature enough to know right from wrong on these things (Jr high, high school, college, grad school, when you move out of your parents house, etc). Common guys, crap, I just used a non PC pronoun. Common fellow Americans, crap many people aren’t proud of that either. Common dwellers of planet earth, let’s make some social rules to help fellow man.
 
Common sense isn’t so common these days.

I agree. Like “aborting” a baby after it is born or even during labor. Not much common sense there.

Or living in a gated community and saying walls are immoral. Not much common sense there.

You are truly a voice of reason.

Or a billionaire illegally hiring hundreds of illegals at his golf resorts all the while scamming American taxpayers to build a wall he promised Mexico would pay for to keep them out...

Yeah, because those are equivalent.
 
There’s no nuance to today’s racial screaming. It’s hysteria.

Imagine the reaction if someone tried to publish this 2007 Harvard study today.


It was only the largest study in civic engagement in American history.

LOL a guy in blackface posing with Klansmen and this is a slippery slope.

I appreciate about 99% of black people's attitude towards racism. They aren't unrealistic, they know it when they see it, and they can distinguish between good hearted people and people that are stirring the racial pot. Like this: someone has Mary Poppins with her smudged face on a t-shirt. Okay, it wouldn't bother anybody. A guy posts a picture of the same thing on a thread about blackface... most people would think he's trying to race bait by making such a stupid point.

It really is common sense.

HOLLEEEE SHIT WHERE IS THIS HAPPENING

Would these be the same common sense people who were criticizing the Covington High Schoolers who were 'in blackface' as part of a 'black out' event for a school basketball game? Or do we only apply common sense if we can associate the individual to the 'D' party?

He is still rewatching Mary poppins through the new liberal lens. He will be back online shortly.

I think I'm still waiting in your response to getting schooled in the global warming thread.
