Yeah, I kind of wrote a retarded response in response to your retarded view.
Basically.
If you're okay with black facing, you're okay with people doing monkey noises at black people, same kinda shit.
Check out victorian era black facing in theatre.
Context is all. If someone dresses in blackface to take the piss out of Victorian values, is that still racism? This is the problem with a blanket "x is bad" moral landscape. While moraility has to be anchored to something (otherwise you end up with moral relativism for everything), we seem to be sleepwalking into a set of ethics driven by a tiny minority of people who are driven primarily by American cultural concerns.
