Whiteface

[martygturner]

8 years ago maybe I blacked up as a Somali Pirate.


It's out there still. As long as I don't make it famous then I'll be fine.

Do we have to consider the feelings of thieving murderous pirates feelings?

You just don't get it...poor lamb.

So all somali pirates are black....or is it only black people can be pirates...or is it that the rest of the somalian nation, the brown, olive , white etc cannot be pirates...does it just fall to the blacks. Black = Pirate....

Why did you have to black up to be a pirate ?...see where this goes...why not just be a pirate of your skin colour....

I don't mean to be insulting but we need to work together on this.

I was in A&E yesterday ; a patient started F ing and blinding. And apparently assaulted a nurse.

A couple of hours early he was calling another staff member a fùcking Pāki. Loudly he sung Pàki go home.

I didn't want to add to the problem but I was trying to shout that he's a prìck and chuck him out.

Arsholes like that will never win and will only make things worse for us all. .

If it's on camera with no instigation by staff, they should be able to refuse the 'person' treatment. After all, people like that evidently don't want brown/black people anywhere near them, so I'm confident they'd rather be immediately escorted from the premises and left to find another way to cure their ailment.

When I was very young we always went on holiday to the same place in Leysdown. Part of the holiday for us kids was the fancy dress competition and the parents would make our costume etc. My dad blacked me up with charcoal, my mum made me a crown, I wore a dressing gown and my dads boxing gloves and my dad put a sign for my back that said "Cas the Gas". Of course I was Cassius Clay as he was then known. I won the fancy dress. Can you imagine someone imitating a black boxer these days with all these do-goodders about? Not a chance. I suppose some on here will look on my fancy dress as an act of racism.

I'm not racist. I don't care about the Sengalese putting on cultural makeup (if that's what it is and for want of a better description) that involves painting their faces white. Nor do i care about morris dancers blacking their faces, or people going to fancy dress parties as a black person and blackening their skin as part of the costume. As long as there is

I'm not racist. I don't care about the Sengalese putting on cultural makeup (if that's what it is and for want of a better description) that involves painting their faces white. Nor do i care about morris dancers blacking their faces, or people going to fancy dress parties as a black person and blackening their skin as part of the costume. As long as there is no malice in what they are doing, let them get on with it.

I do care about the current constant narative of white supremacy and invisible racism and i do care about double standards in the accusations of racism. This whiteface is a perfect example of the double standards. Its fine for the Sengalese to do whiteface because its cultural. But its not fine when morris dancers do blackface, even though its cultural for them.

So do you care or don't you care ?

Are you sure it's racially motivated, or is that just you ?

Tbh I just think, although there are many complexities to the ongoing race debate, this (blacking up) is an easy one to deal with.

Just don't do it.

So all somali pirates are black...

Why would you say that. Why would you consider all Somali people thieves or Murderes??

I wasn't a Somali Doctor or a shop keeper.

If it had of been Athlete themed I wouldn't have been

You'd think t'was that simples but a couple of England football fans were recently very indignant to be strip searched by police in Qatar because they wore Crusader outfits and walked around thinking t'was all a larrf - not realising how much it matters in the mid-east to this day.
Said they spent £3,000 on them, too. Mugs.

Oh dear bod...worked out what you said and now doing a bit of selective quoting to try and dig yourself out of the hole....

Why do somali pirates need to be black...you said it....so answer you own statement.

 

[transam]

Not relevant it’s racist imo

They should have to wear balaclavas

Than of course you get all them scientists going on about black holes in space
That needs sorting same as the term black mail in the criminal justice system

The word black should be replaced with the term dark

Dark hole or dark mail

That sounds horrid for everyone, it's often hard to know how to be helpful.
