Came across this on Yahoo and I gotta agree with some of the replies we make fun of white folks all the time... why is a huge issue when the roles are reversed? Dwade dressed as Justin Timberlake and I dont think it was really a big deal. What do yall think are we becoming to sensitive?

Link didn't work but to answer your question, yes we are.
Everything is an issue with black people when we do the same ? and don't expect anyone to react but as soon as some ? happens to us its a big deal. -
that link didn't take me to yahoo

Double standards are a problem. The link doesn't come up for me either.

I think people in general are too sensitive. Its seems like everybody is looking for some reason to be offended about any and everything.
-
naw they shouldn't and don't have to apologize for that.

cs this
and it wasnt even really "black face" if anything d wades costume was more racist than this, at least the man tried to get the skin tone right -
I'm trying to care but I just don't. IDK maybe it's more about the history of blackface as oppose to the fact that he did it. Not a problem dressing up as justin beiber because well, there's no such thing as whiteface. But whatever, i could care less but I can kind of see how someone could get twisted about it.

Let me know when black people are more emotional than Jews or homosexuals.
-
There is no such thing as white face..i swear the things people say.. lol white face.
-
To avoid all of this, he should have went dressed as ? .

MFer told me I could say ? anymore! So I said "dog you acting feminine". He still got offended! -
Whats the problem with being emotional or sensitive.If ya want to be robots so be it but I still got a heart beating in my chest.
-
nah not to emotional per se
maybe to complacent
or "cool"
blackface isnt the worst thing "whitey" can do (stormfront, fox news, ? brotherhood)
worry about "whiteface" -
Yeah we are.. But .... It was a time when dressin black face was racist... So dont even try to bring that ? back up
-
^
speaking of blackface -
Hell yeah, i like a nice racist joke sometime i make white jokes about my coworkers all the time but they never make any black jokes back they act like I'm hit them or something.
-
The things ? have grown to accept..
like amen said...
complacency
no one wants to say ? cuz that would be...
"catching feelings"
FOH -
So it's cool for a black man to pretend to be white?
-
what is the history behind black men pretending to be white...?
oh nevermind, we are supposed to ignore historical context...
carry on...
yeah because ol boy was really thinking that deep with his costume........ foh -
Exactly what i was alluding towhat is the history behind black men pretending to be white...?
oh nevermind, we are supposed to ignore historical context...
carry on... -
? this is not back in the day b... yeah most def never forget our history but bruh....... two wrongs dont make a right you ? act like racism is a one way street.what is the history behind black men pretending to be white...?
oh nevermind, we are supposed to ignore historical context...
carry on... -
I feel u...
we all have very short memories...
no one remembers the connotations associated with blackface...
no one...
thats why it is common to see actors wearing black make up in an attempt to look like a ? ...
and besides if ppl do remember, who cares... the blacks need to just get over it... when my neighbors dog ? on my lawn, I go apologize to her nah mean?
the ? I'mma catch feelings for?
cs because im sure he burned a couple effigy's in his backyard after dressing up as jay-z -
i dont disagree with history but we need to move on I mean if a black comedian can make a hole routine about white folks ..... why cant a white comedian do the same with out being deemed racist? As far as dude being Jay Z i dnt see the harm in it but maybe thats because im from the NE we really dont dwell on that ? like that.lol...
what about my quote are u arguing against exactly? -
Word, humans in general are overly-emotional.
Emotional-ass humans.
