Yeah, I don't think anybody would have shrugged it off if they showed up at a university party in blackface when I attended in the late 90's.

I am hating this "It was the olde times" narrative that just feels like straight bullshit to me. (Of course, I was a fan of Bamboozled and had done some reading on it by the times PMJT wore it.)

Oh, I am not saying it should be shrugged off, i am saying that's the most common conversation i hear on it if people disagree. No one is saying it's - Andie Sep 26, 11:37 5
- 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 don't know a single soul and grew up in Oklahoma. - Pippy - thar she blows! Sep 26, 11:57 1
    - I wonder if because it would be so obviously known as racist that it's too far over the line -- (edited) - Reagen Sep 26, 12:33
  - 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
