        Take a look at the tweets from David Colatto I posted (Abacus). I think he's on to something. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Sep 26, 11:29
    - i think they are an anomaly. i hear much more heated conversations between those who clearly see it as wrong and people who sort of excuse it based on the times -- (edited) - Andie Sep 26, 10:58 8
      - "based on the times" ... To be fair, I didn't attend university so I don't know what campus life was like, but ... - Beryllium Sep 26, 11:09 7

        Right. I just find it lazy on their part. The publicly-known events happened between 95-01. Does anyone on here know somebody who's done blackface? -- (edited) - Name Withheld By Request Sep 26, 11:48 4
        
        I don't have any recollection of it but I wouldn't be shocked to find out it happened at a school or town function in the 80s. -- nm* - Reagen Sep 26, 12:27

        I'm pretty sure I saw it at least once at halloween in the early 90s. But then, I also saw someone dressed as a condom. Very confusing time. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 26, 11:56
  - But also, people don't want to admit that things they grew up with are racist. -- nm - Roger More Sep 26, 10:25 16
