I absolutely do not condone this at all but things back in 2008/2009 were very different from nowadays and the Miranda Sings character was always designed to be very problematic, shocking and cringe. I don't know if she deserves hate for this specific case of a role she played in different times?

While i always roll my eyes at the anger over things people did years ago…..I really don’t get the whole “it was from 2009, it was a different time!”…….2009 was just over 10 years ago, black face hasn’t been a thing for decades, it hasn’t been ok for literally years and years lol. Stop acting like this happened 30 years ago.

I’m so glad I never bought into the whole YouTuber craze because why is every single one of them horrible :messga:

 

like, I don’t really know who this person is apart from hearing their name before, and I’d like to keep not knowing :sis:

There's only one YouTuber I still adore and she cancelled herself during the BLM movement's peak and quit over having a too-dark tan (which she had 24/7) while parodying Nicki Minaj over 10 years ago :bradley:

I miss Jenna Marbles but she's happily married and now they foster greyhound rescues and her husband has an active channel and streaming platform :diane:

At least she left her cursed videos up for us to rewatch :tony:

I don't think black face was acceptable in 1990 either :poot:

Or ever tbh. From the start it's been offensive, but I know what you're getting at :laughga:

because the internet has decided its her turn to be forensically examined and have every action and thought interpreted as a discriminatory micro-aggression

I’m so confused by the blackface video. What is the context of this?  Why was she doing it? Was it supposed to be blackface. Why wasn’t it a huge deal back 2018, a time when BLM, and ME TOO we’re at their peak.

Hopefully they're going off about everything she did do, which wasn't blackface.

she was using this as a QR code video in her 2018 book

that being said: colleen's legal team has gone on record to say this is green paint to mimic the green witch from the previous number

regardless it is still in poor taste to have your face painted dark and perform a song by a black artist, especially as an adult in america

mother, what must i do?

because it's part of a massive situation surrounding her right now where she's been exposed for bullying, body shaming, grooming minors and sending p*rnographic material to underage people

I have to disagree, It was a different time, we werent as aware as we are now. 

Come fly with me came out in 2010 and was HUGE and we look back at that now 13 years later and can't believe how problematic it is with its use of blackface and other sterotypes. To say it hasn't been a thing for decades just isn't true.

I’m not sure why this thread is still open if we’ve already established this wasn’t blackface. (Not defending all the other disturbing things she’s done though)
