They really just want to be able to use the 'N' word again.

The ignorance is that people still do not gte that it is offensive and why it is

Was liking Amos and Andy racist 50-60 years ago? Today, things are just, well,...... different.

I don't think it compares remotely to liking Nazis and never did.

Because I did. No offense but nothing is written in the stars... unless you’re an astronomer.

The left are doing everything to destroy our democracy. they have gone as far as
using the thought police to label a person racist.
I think therefore you are a racist............Einstein would have a field day with that saying.

Blackface is only racist if displayed in a derogatory manner.
Would you label our military intel carrying out operations in dead of night wearing blackface racist? No!
Would you call sports figures with black makeup under their eyes for sun screening purposes racist? No!

Would you call a person in blackface poking fun at the black race racist? Yes!

Would you call a person in yellow face,white face or brown face poking fun at that particular race racist? Yes!

Would you call this video racist ? No. I would call it art.
