Is Blackface EVER Appropriate?
Probably not.
Some people seem to have a total lack of sense. Take this couple for example. They didn't seem to pick up on the furor after Ted Danson's similar faux pas a few years back.
Now I could understand if these two folks worked as member of the human freakshow that runs our local Mickey's convenience station but the guy is a fucking judge! Jesus to be this stupid I would be willing to bet that he does an awful lot of blow in chanbers too!
Why is this offensive? Well Vaudeville takes the rap for that one folks. Years and years of using blackface for racial humor shows basically disqualifies it from humor for a few centuries. If you think he showed any sort of good "judge"ment here lt me hear it. I love to listen to the lunatic fringe.
