Abusing women without their consent is MUCH worse, but Frump got a "pass."

it is amazing someone who is such a gutless chickenshit racist as proven by all his comments and memes and moo-slime bullshit acts like he is offended by racism, or even a hint of racism, if it is a democrat involved. 

isn't zsq one of those gutless hypocrite racist assholes who are also virulently against woman having choice over their own bodies and has even cried fake crocodile tears over so many black babies being killed, when all his other posts show his sick ass hatred towards all blacks, muslims, latinos, gays and women.

This was actually a funny episode...

not as half as funny as Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder in Silver Streak. 


It honestly depends on the intent of "black face." 

unfortunately, those most who conduct or practice "black face" obviously are doing it in a denigrating manner.

i would bet 75% of the blacks surveyed when asked if what the governor did 35 years ago bothered them all that much, they would say not very much or not at all.  it is silly.  he was not making fun of black people by acting like an idiot.  he stupidly thought going as a slave with some guy going as a KKK guy was pretty funny FOR A HALLOWEEN COSTUME.  unless you are saying stupid shit and trying to make fun of blacks or insult them, especially 35 years ago, there is a no-harm, no-foul concept in play...redd foxx played a stereotypical old guy when he was not all that old on Sanford and Son, was he making fun of old people?

Oscar, Like I said in that very thread...

I don't care much for what the man did 30-35 years ago.  Times were different then. 

I care about what the man is today.  The Governor apologized and I take him at his word. 

This is a non issue for me.

If a person wore black face 35 years ago and you can show no forms/types of racism since then, he probably isn't a racist.

Old days....old news......anybody that does it these days probably is a racist. I remember back in the day we used burnt cork, can’t recall if it was for a hobo or a minstrel or Aunt Jemima. But that was then and this is now.

And it is an insult to hobo’s, minstrels and Aunt Jemima.
