Blackface or white face?

Who would wear these? They are nasty.

But... anyway, so being black and using red lipstick is now racist? Self Racism? Ah black people not allowed to use red lipstick?

So confusing.

'Whiteface' simply isn't the same as 'blackface', because blackface has a horribly racist history.

It's fun to pretend we don't understand, but we've had a lot of this sort of thread now, so it starts to look a bit more than simple ignorance.

So basically we can never again have anything that resembles a blackface because of history?

It’s just stupid. They’re characterisations of two people, ones white and ones black. But one is supposedly offensive and therefore, must be removed from public view. It’s just getting utterly pathetic. If anything, we’re now refusing a black face to be seen. It’s almost as if racism has gone full circle.
 
The black shoes have blue eyes implying the white shoes have blacked up....I'm not joking someone was explaining it on the radio in these terms.

It's a shoe that looks like Jim Crow. A horrible caricature of a black face. One with a history of violence and persecution against blacks.

no it doesn't. it looks like a **** awful shoe. as simple as that. this trying to pad things out to be something they aren't has to stop. it's a ******* shoe. a hideous shoe but a shoe nonetheless. sod all racist about it.
 
Looking through twitter, it seems as though a big majority of black tweeters actually think this is just too much of a reach and things are getting ridiculous. Most of the offence seems to be coming from white people. The type who love to be offended on behalf of others.
