It was over 30 years ago for her and I doubt I could give you concrete info on my incident.
For instance, I know that my incident happened at a High School Homecoming Parade Float Building Event.
I cannot tell you how I got there. I didn't have my driver's license at the time so either my mother took me and dropped me off or one of my friends who had a driver's license took me, but I can't say which one because I was with a group of girls.
That said, it's a lot easier for me to remember things that happened to me in 2004, for sure.
In this case, no one can substantiate the victim's story either.
I'm not sure how you can be so quick to condemn one and not the other when the circumstances are almost identical except for the age of the victim and the time. That seems a bit partisan to me.
I happen to believe both victims, not one more over the other because of the politics of the offender.
"I happen to believe both victims,", Ford's "WITNESSES say otherwise.
I mentioned in another post that the first prize winner of the costume contest held at my social club's Halloween party came as a black faced lawn jockey, complete with lantern. No one protested or complained...he brought down the house. I guess there are no SJW members in the club.

Wow! How far south do you live? Are there penguins there?
Ok, let me get this straight. In elementary school black kids dress up as Washington, Jefferson etc. and that's ok. But if a white kid wants to be MLK or Jay Z that is racist. Is that right?
I didn't know they put on 'white face'. Do you have links to that?
This isn't about blackface, this is the Dems throwing one of their own under to keep the abortion thing out of the headlines...they only sacrifice one of their own when something bigger is at stake.
Speaking of black face lawn jockeys, we see many here with their black paint intact (PC'ness requires they now be painted white). I went to a yard sale where one was on display in front of the house. Someone asked if he was for sale (he wasn't). The home owner said she'd been getting offers for him all day.
Oldest DD and I took a hike down some nearby country roads, and we passed a nice, well maintained old Victorian farm house. There was a black lawn jockey in front. The homeowner was enjoying the quiet summer morning drinking coffee on his porch. I yelled out, "I like your jockey!" He looked down at his lap and up at me, confused. I said, "Your lawn statue!" He got it then, and said, "Thanks!" Once we were out of earshot, DD and I collapsed on the road laughing...he looked at his lap because he must have thought I said "I like your jockeys", and realized he was wearing pants.
Not sure why anyone would promote blackface knowing its origins. But hey, fight for your “culture” if you can call it that. Guess some people really don’t have any culture or real traditions so they lash out this way. Strange and pathetic.

They're not putting white paint on their faces. That's the difference. You don't have to paint your face in order to be a character. I don't understand why some people can't understand the history of blackface and why it is offensive.

Are you aware of the movie White Chicks?
