this has ballooned to trying to look anything other than your race is now racist
Megyn clearly thought blackface simply meant a white person using makeup to look like a black person, she clearly didn't know there was connotation to racist minstrel shows.
We no longer look at a persons intent with there words.
She blasphemed so she must be punished.
i feel part of her confusion may come from the recent incident where people accused producers of using black face. http://www.tmz.com/2018/08/01/good-boys-child-actor-stand-in-blackface-keith-l-williams/
To be fair, that's not realyl common usage anymore
Black face _is_ "darkening skin"
Even the article Tim read specified it that way
nah, blackface still refers to the racist caricature
using it for any darkening of skin is unhelpful
I'm not going to argue whether it _should_
Or whether people should be educated on a more accurate usage
That is just how people in fact use it
It may have started metaphorically (i.e. "That is _like_ blackface") but has slowly shifted to just being the term for it
apart from troll blogs and some more out-of-touch social justice ppl, i've only ever seen it used for the caricature
would be interesting to see a study among different crowds as to what they understand under the term
Fair enough
It's honestly a bit of an esoteric term, so most people probably don't know what it is
But the usage has been consistent in the media
valid
probably a good sign if most people don't know about it
Actully yes. There have been articles written about how much tan can you have before it's considered appropriation.
No way is this a real thing
NBC wanted Megan Kelly out because her ratings dropped this was just an excuse to look better and get rid of her
I really don't like it. I have been Megan Kelly'd before.
The regressive left saves their worst ire to those of their protected classes that speak contrary to groupthink
It's pretty much the only time I see people sincerely using racial slurs
Did you know that 74% of terrorist attacks in the state come from right wing motivations?
Did you know that 130% of all random statistics are either made up or twisted? Islam is a "Right Wing" authoritarian philosophy, so you could easily count that as right wing. Citation please.
Politifact lul
Go through his videos and you will understand the reason behind the statement. There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
You didn’t even read it
It cites the sources. It’s not just statistics but full studies
No seriously you didn't click my link either
And my studies trump your Youtube video. Sorry
He specialies in going in fact check after fact check to show you how fact checkers misinterpret the truth.
Again, you can read the actual studies listed
But I know you guys hate reading so...
