There is no entertainment factor There is no talent to be possessed they get millions of views everyday, they dance, they sing, they are comedians, clearly people find them entertaining someway somehow?

ICouldntThinkOfOne 215 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 This is exactly why people need to be more vocal about privilege. This shouldn't be a conversation but you just KNOW, their apologies will be about how they ''never meant to cause offence, it was a sign of solidarity and just make up'', with no actual understanding of what they are doing. Idiots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my ass knows THIS much about American culture without ever having been abroad, surely an influencer who is very well-versed in social media could educate themselves before posting this bullshit. So long ggd, it was nice while it lasted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas P 18,479 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 This is a disgusting attempt to get attention toward their stupid social media accounts Some people make me feel dumb through simply existing on the same planet as them I swear I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

Candy Gaga 5,374 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 From the captions most of them are Arabs. They're not racist but ignorant. A lot of people here are not educated about these issues they don't know what blackface is Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEARTSTOP 3,160 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hmm, checking their descriptions etc, none of them seem to be from the US. And blackface in its purposefully mocking nature isn't really a thing outside of the US and American media. Take what you will from that. To me it's still very cringeworthy.

It really depends on how much American media your country consumes. I really doubt arabic countries have a daily exposure to American media when they have such strong nationalist values.

Many other countries did it. Infact, there is still to this day a festival in The Netherlands and Belgium in which people do blackface and portray racial stereotypes. So no, its nothing to do with how much 'American' media you consume. Its wrong regardless what country you are from and racism happens everywhere End Racism Now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
