How the history of blackface is rooted in racism.
The portrayal of blackface–when people darken their skin with shoe polish, greasepaint or burnt cork and paint on enlarged lips and other exaggerated features, is steeped in centuries of racism. It peaked in popularity during an era in the United States when demands for civil rights by recently emancipated slaves triggered racial hostility. And today, because of blackface’s historic use to denigrate people of African descent, its continued use is still considered racist. “It’s an assertion of power and control,” says David Leonard , a professor of comparative ethnic studies and American studies at Washington State University. “It allows a society to routinely and historically imagine African Americans as not fully human. It serves to rationalize violence and Jim Crow segregation.” | ||

I disagree with this David Leonard.
If I would like to dress myself on Halloween as President Obama, I would paint myself brown-black, simply because thats his skin tone. It would be racist if I am not allowed to dress like Obama because I am white imo. what if a black dude likes to dress as Einstein on Halloween and paint himself white? | ||
