Rachel Dolezal Meets Instagram: Blackface 2.0
- Thread starter ShyMel
- Start date
As clear as it is that these people have issues... The fake tan industry would tend to disagree with your statement. It certainly isn't "blackface" in the traditional sense, representing a caricature of racial stereotypes for comedic purposes. It is downright weird and offensive even if the intent is not malicious.
No? She's been god tier for us Latinos since the beginning. Everyone else just needed to open their fucking eyes.
It evolved beyond that a long time ago, now it's self applied more often than not.
This is my gut feeling on it.
But they are being a caricature of racial stereotypes, but this time to push flat tummy tea.
That Emma Hallberg girl got some African or South American in her family tree somewhere. I'm not rolling on that being all makeup foolery.
I wanna see what her momma look like.

If you are young i see that, they were a staple of Jay Leno's monologue
Heaven forbid we do it without using misogynistic and slut shaming language.
These people are racists, call them racists, no need to use disgusting language.
Your examples are being done for the same reasons. Do you really not understand the difference?
A product of Kardashian popularity really. I mean skin darkening, heavy bronzer, tanning, etc., have obviously been popular for quite a while on and off, but with products focused on making butts look bigger, making lips look fuller, etc., we have reached a point where people can look like whatever they want with enough effort, and with little understanding of why it looks weird because it has now been heavily popularized by certain celebrities who have made themselves into an amalgamation of different cultural beauty standards.
I really dislike the popularization of the term thot, as if if it's an ok thing to call someone. Fuck off with that.

I didn't call her a goddamn thing, but getting hung up on someone calling the racist a different bad name is also stupid and pointless. You don't owe that person anything.
By skinny women with no butts? Sure? But everyone else knew Jlo was the baddest.

Japanese girls have been doing this too!
We need to end this!
White or Black, I would be all over that girl.

I don't know if they're being caricatures or they're just not good at what they're doing. As discussed ad nauseam in this thread, there is a culture of ethnic ambiguity with the rise of celebrities like the Kardashians.
I'm not defending it at all, I don't understand it and agree that it is offensive. I'm just not sure it is actually malicious or blackface in the traditional sense, it's just a case of some very confused and messed up people dabbling in cultural appropriation when they shouldn't be.
This shit goes far beyond some traditional tanning.
And even the fake tanning and skin lightening industry in general has issues with both of those concepts and how they play into race and racial prejudices, otherwise you wouldn't have instances like these:

And, well, this entire thread concept on the other end of the spectrum.
I don't see how this is blackface. This isn't remotely like the makeup used in vaudville routines to make fun of black people and caricature them. One of women doing this used a tanning bed to get her skin a darker shade, so doesn't that mean that skin tone is possible for her? Maybe it's just my involvement in opera that keeps me from feeling anything towards it.
I don't really see who these women are hurting. I get that they're appropriating culture, but why is that bad? Honest question.

No more bloating, I swear I use it every day. Promo code in description.
It goes beyond shade or tone, it's an attempt to look at a minimum, multi-racial and there's a lot more going on with the makeup and hair than the shade(s) used.
Also, anybody that normalized the Kardashians is part of the problem.
We wouldn't want to hurt the poor white girls feelings now
Their blackface might run :(
I wouldn't. Cause you know what happens when they start crying.We wouldn't want to hurt the poor white girls feelings now
Who is everyone.
Because her ass was definitely a point of humor in the 90s.
Before J.Lo was a "sex symbol" her ass was the butt of many jokes...hell id say even into the early 2000s her ass was still something people joked about.
It was well before white america started "liking" da booty, so having a big butt was something to make fun off.
Just look at all the other acts during her rise to fame....there was no one who had her body type....and what do we do with people who are different TEASE THEM!
Im sure you can pull up some old late night monologues of host making jokes about her ass.
On Topic
This is a frikken joke.....i almost regret having clicked this thread, because now ive gone down a rabbit whole of white girls looking black.
WTF is going on.
This chick looks like a light skinned black girl.....WHY?
This is a little OT, but I'm curious as to the thoughts on a particular aspect of this issue. For a long time we've seen, been told, and discussed that people of color have had to conform their looks to European/White beauty standards for decades to achieve success. While this trend of using makeup/surgery/etc. to copy skin color or certain features of people of color is obviously highly dubious, do you think it at all helps actual people of color in terms of changing the beauty standards paradigm, and/or allowing them to groom their appearances to a more "natural" look rather than European standards?
It's still damaging, the maliciousness is honestly a way of absolving people of this bullshit. It's 2018 for godsake
I don't really know how to feel about that lol. I'm surprised people take it that far. I don't know lol. I mean if they take it that far but also take all the negatives of being black with it I guess I'm okay with it. But when it's just like cosplaying a black person when its convenient then that's just kinda wild. Some of those are like full body jobs. I just don't know why someone would do that.
This picture is one of my favorite things to come out the last few years of fuckery tbh
I mean Jlo has been a sex symbol icon for at least the last 20 years ever since she was with Diddy back in the late 90s-00s?Who is everyone.

One would hope people finally realize black is beautiful. Just you know, they took that in the wrong direction.
Anywho to the more egregious point you're keen on making, nah, Jlo and her ass are not characterized by shit jokes from flat ass people. She was considered god tier from the beginning by the masses.
And isn't even remotely the point of this thread. So stop trying to derail.
i may be misremembering this story but didn't she show her breasts one day to distract people from criticizing her butt
I'm willing to listen to your point of view. No one has really explained who this is hurting :/
Honestly, I'm open to a discussion on this.
