Is This Blackface? vol. Olympic Edition

[Top Boy]

You gave me an either or scenario in which one couldn't possibly be answered with 100% certainty and the other is undeniably true since you can be used as the answer....

That's enough for me

 

[hand2handking]

yet you cant see how you put me in an impossible situation in trying to defend why i think it is blackface

the fact is neither one of us can say 100%

all im sayin is is there a possibility of it? 

but you want me to say 100% it isnt because the absence of evidence means the evidence is absent

and its not even 100% saying that it is blackface, just that it could be construed that way, and yet even that is denied as if there is just no way

ppl called me all kind of names, made all kind of attacks, and for what?

because asking the question threatens their precious white fragility?

So you're saying it's 100% IMPOSSIBLE to make the correlation that he's wearing them because symbolically it puts a powerful black man beneath him?

Some cultures will put anti-christ like symbols or just flat out write "SATAN" on the soles of their shoes so that they're stomping him out on a daily basis. Is it 100% IMPOSSIBLE to suspect that a white guy might take a page out of their book and symbolically stomp out blacks by wearing some jays?? 100% impossible?

And yeah there's a history of blackface but as far as I can tell there's no recorded history of vain white gals wearing mud masks in their own dwelling because they're low-key racist.

The burden of proof IS on you because YOU made the claim that she put that mask on with malicious intent

White men with jet black beards that take selfies is another big blackface epidemic going around I hear.

Yo what about chicks wearing cucumber slices on their eyes for beauty treatments. Interesting that of all vegetables they'd use something as phallic as a cucumber and slice it up.

Clearly anti-male ultra-aggressive feminism gone wild.

well ive never heard of that (writing stuff on shoes) but even still the fact remains that in that scenario theyd be puttin money in the pocket of the person they are "above" so its a wash

and furthermore, again the point has to be made that a white person seeing himself above a black man by wearing jordans does not correlate to painting ones skin as they are two different implications

the guy wearing the sneakers thinks hes above because the shoes are on his feet

painting your skin is actively making the correlation that its funny to "imitate" a black person

 

[hand2handking]

The burden of proof IS on you because YOU made the claim that she put that mask on with malicious intent

ok and i have history to base that opinion on

and the fact that white people play with casual racism in this manner

maybe she didnt have any tar handy and so used the mask instead?

i dont know and you dont either, but there is precedent of white people painting their face to make fun of black people

what reason do you have, other just ouright either not wanting to believe it or excusing that "girls just wear masks and take pictures" to 100% exclude the idea that it could be blackface?

Reported for being stupid.

You really riding your cheer leader role hardddd in this thread

DC and OP might pull an all nighter

Seriously though, these threads need to stop. That picture OP posted was not worthy of the claim he was making. All it did was make himself and his cheerleader look crazy and slightly stupid.

I'm not even touching this one

What did u eat for breakfast?

Steak, egg and cheese burrito I picked up before work.

i knew it 

that white acceptance

 

[AZwildcats]

can you absolutely positively say that she did not have blackface in mind AT ALL when she took the pic?

can you say that looking at that pic, it is absolutely positively IMPOSSIBLE that someone could see that as blackface?

if you say yes to either question you a lie

Man it's time to stop

That's an appeal to tradition. A fallacy.

You're right...I don't know. But I'm not the one making the claim either.

The burden of proof is on you.

This is a loaded question...another fallacy.

Tariq pedals these BS stories as a pretty much a marketing tool now, because people like you will eat it up.

So you didn't know a damb thing.
