You beat me to it.

I have no problems with the erecting of statues of Archie & Ruby as Aboriginal musicians......

what I have a problem with is the statue & monument vandalism by Treaty/Truthteller/ history rewriters/cancel culture blak activists & their woke supporters.



So, anything representing First Nations people's (suck it) is to be whinged incessantly about because activists have done stuff.

Genius.


Phuk off ..... can't you read.


No. I understood perfectly. The natives can have their little statues as long as everyone understands the bigger picture, and that is what activists are doing elsewhere.

We gotcha.

Whiteface. Tsk, tsk  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes



Oh the irony.  Grin



What irony? Do you even know what the word means?

Are you able to construct in your mind the motives for First Nations peolpe (suck itA) covering their faces with white paint?

Noe, why did white people cover themselves with black paint?

Do you think there is a difference in intent?

You might need to think really, really hard. Take your time.



Why did black people complain about it?

You moron why is it vandalism when a statue of an Aboriginal person is painted white and they have for eons smeared themselves in white and yellow ochres as part of war paint or ceremony?

Aboriginals don't whiten themselves to play the role of a white person.

Is it the White and White Minstrel show?

Seems you're the one with difficulty in seeing the irony or intent.

Perhaps you need to have a little reread and try again.

You're really just embarrassing yourself.

Here's a hint to consider on the reread ... try to factor in the defference between the intent of white face versus the intent of blackface.

See if you can motivate yourself into considering whether one example might be racist whereas the other isn't at all?

If still lost after all of this, i dunno. But i expect you to be.

You can go to the further end of the street.

I know the difference you patronising bint.

Different time different place.

They didn't have the diversity/woke/ BS brigade in the days of the Black & White Minstrel show..

but regardless of that it was only considered racist in the late 20th century/early 21 century when all the offended arseholes like you appeared.

It was what it was ... people made do with the resources & talent available.

Besides have you ever heard the saying that imitation/copying is the greatest form of flattery?

The Negro music/spirituals were greatly admired.

As if it would not have been considered racist/stereotyping if they had had a stage of Negro people performing.

You belong in the realm of the terminally offended arseholes on the planet today....

and never mind your wish for all the old Boomers to die .... it will be a blessing for the world to wake up to your shyte & throw it back in your face as not accepted & you clowns die out first.

GAGF.

OH??  And what exactly IS the 'intent of blackface'?

As Gnads said - it actually paid homage to the fact that the Neggruhs were damned good singers in many cases...
