But she admits she has seen the kafuffle's about black face makeup in the media. She even says she discussed it on facebook. So in painting her boy's face I suspect she was stirring the possum a bit. If so, then I don't think she shoulc have used her little boy to do it. But then, if the boy really did want to dress as his hero, then it raises the question of how can he possibly do so without being accused of racism? I think that in society's current state of collective neurosis, he can't.

To do so is racist. At least, according to the race-baiters among us.<br /><br />To black or red or yellow or white up and demean people of that color is obviously racist and should be banned.<br /><br />If done to show admiration for a specific person - no problem.Deannoreply@blogger.com
