Yeah, I find the students match the tag pretty well.

If you notice, none of the BYU students asks him why he's in blackface.

Maybe they didn't want to get any of the mark of Cain on them.

The highest-rated comment on that article right now is:
"Now ask black students about "white" history. They won't be any smarter."

Wow. Yeah, there's no racism in the world today.

The second, for the record, is:
"The road of ignorance runs BOTHS ways with blacks and whites. Have you ever seen a black person mock a nerdy white guy, I have lots of times. No group is more discriminated against than white Roman Catholic men...and Catholics in general."

I thought blackface was more caricaturish...I can't think of the right word, but more obvious. This looks more like he's actually trying to appear as a black man.

Dunno much about it so go easy on me.

Blackface is a style of makeup, which he is not using. But he's still a tool. And I can't imagine how he thought this wouldn't backfire. Can anyone name a time when someone painting themselves black was actually entertaining? Other than Robert Downey Jr?

It's my understanding that Al Jolson was a pretty big star. But yeah, generally it's not a good idea.

This is nothing. I was in college when we (finally) passed legislation in Arizona commemorating Martin Luther King. A Mormon friend came up to me and told me "Happy N***** Day!"

He was just one of many. Racism runs deep in that church, whether they admit it officially anymore or not.

How is blackface different from, let's say putting on a rainbow triangle and mincing about stage saying things with a lisp? Or sticking fake tits down your shirt, affecting a pepper pot voice, and whining about your period clots? It's just ANOTHER kind of costume.

The same reason that it's bad to compare a black person to a monkey and use the n-word: history. You don't live in a vacuum, you know.

Also, while only blackface would make you racist and be newsworthy, doing the other two would still make you look like a dick.

Because you share this world with other people. That's why.

At the end, he mentions that during the whole filming time, only 3 students asked him why he was wearing blackface.

Why a whole month? Can we blame Obama?
Mexicans get bilingual education and federally funded translators yet they only get Cinco De Mayo.
What's up with this?
Both cultures contribute to the crime rate. Where is the balance?

Uh yeah, being raised Roman Catholic I'd have to call bullshiat on the whole "no group is more discriminated than us" claim. Christ almighty people are self-centered and ignorant.

Actually, I'm probably more discriminated against now as an atheist, which is to say, still not a whole-farking-lot.

Mammy,

My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.
I'm comin',
Sorry that I made you wait.
I'm comin',
Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh
Mammy,

I'd walk a million miles
For one of your smiles,
My Mammy! Oh oh oh

mahuika: You don't live in a vacuum, you know.

I know. And black guys can pick up a bit of white powder and some glasses and do whiteface.

Getting out of America is nice. Being a minority has changed my opinion of a lot of things. For one, I'm violently anti-illegal immigration now. It's not THAT hard to get into a foriegn country.

It is, however, that hard to get into the US legally, especially after the number of visas issued for manycountries were drastically curtailed in the last decade. You're kind of clueless.

Black American history should be incorporated in American history all year round. That 's what you're trying to say? Right.

Same way "antisemitism" is different than religious persecution. A group of people made enough noise about their desire to be treated equally that they get special treatment now.
