[antijoke]

So, this from August but I just saw this on h3h3....

A video about digital blackface, be warned you might the contents of the video offensive.

Is it OK to use black emojis and gifs?
It's digital blackface, according to writer Victoria Princewill.

See if her arguments change your emoji habits.

Have your say on the BBC News Facebook page.

Warning: This video contains historical footage of blackface minstrel shows which you may find offensive.

I remember seeing it on the bbc when it came out and there was also a thread on here I think. Literally was slack jawed, to the point of could not comment. I must be over that now but seriously...Clearly I'm just getting old and my old fashioned belief people are people is outdated. I sent someone the Julius/Wolf clip at work the other day indicating that I would sort something out. But I'm not black.....where do I apologise?

I did a search for blackface but nothing came up.
