Both I suppose.
I would have expected this would come out prior to Election Day but the timing of this is crazy.

Maybe decent for skiing?

Blackface or no aside, who the feck would wear this monstrosity.
It looks like it would come in handy for an impromptu armed robbery so i imagine it would have been popular with criminals.

Christ, that one is fecking terrible.
WTF is that thing trying to depict? Who sits in a room and thinks this shit is a good idea?
What in the actual feck is this???
Looks like a jumper/balaclava, presumablly for very cold days. Worn with a hood over the head presumably otherwise it would look weird. Sort of a Lulu Guinness type fashionable thing. (The red lipstick on the lips I mean).

Do you have any evidence that blackface originated in Spain out of racist intentions, however loosely you want to define that? Otherwise your absolute statement "blackface has only existed with racism at its origin" is not only wrong but ignorant. There's already been evidence provided that the cultural context was vastly different to that of the US, yet you keep applying the same contextualisation.This is different to blackface because blackface has only existed with racism at its origin - and like someone said earlier, tension & opposition to blackface has always existed, it just wasn't visible because black people didn't have the power to voice their concerns, whereas now with things like social media these opinions can't be ignored & silenced anymore.
It always shocks me that people are willing to spend so much money on these types of brands when they look fecking awful.

Agreed.Racist or not is a subjective matter that should be based mostly on a case by case basis.
Nope, racism is heavily weighted one way, historically and presently.Agreed.
The uproar online for people like Griezmann who dressed up as a black man isn't the same as someone using blackface for pure racism like that case in Virginia.
If the former was racist, so is the entire movie white-chicks. But its not racist because of its context.
In this PC world, imagine someone made a movie Black-chicks and acted all ghetto and sassy (being a small minority of black people over white rich dumb blondes being a small minority of white people)? There would be uproar. Racism is a two way street yet it gets ignored in the media when the shoe is on the other foot I feel.
While this is true, can you really tell someone their feelings don't matter if they are offended? If a white person feels they are being racially abused, is it enough to just tell them they don't have a right to be because history isn't in their favour?Nope, racism is heavily weighted one way, historically and presently.
Interestingly African Americans most in Northam’s corner. Presuming the alternative is much worse.Partisan loyalty stronger than racial feelings:

So we agree on that. The rest of your post is a point I have never made let alone justified.While this is true, can you really tell someone their feelings don't matter if they are offended?

I've already said this;Do you have any evidence that blackface originated in Spain out of racist intentions, however loosely you want to define that?

Maybe if you want people to understand you, you should try and understand them. So far all you've done is dismiss their legitimacy through active ignorance.
There's no legitimate reason, in 2019, to continue wearing blackface that doesn't include racism.It doesn't really matter, I don't care what Spanish people were doing 400 years ago - i'm simply saying that continuing the tradition by using blackface, rather than either removing the blackface element or using actual black people - is racist, and I think that's fair because you can't claim ignorance at this point.
Yes, he agreed with that. Instead of listening to him you decided to lecture him. He was making a very different, nuanced, thoughtful point, which you didn't even take the time to consider, and instead chose to be dismissive. And now you've been given the opportunity to offer a different take, you ignore it. You might want to question why.I've already said this;

The context may differ but surely it is all wildly racist no matter what?

Agreed. Hard to say "who knew?"I do find some of the debate in here misguided... If you want to black up your face, don't be surprised if you get push back, whatever country you come from.
I would defy anyone to claim that there is nothing in their past that wouldn't be deemed inappropriate in this snowflake time we live in. It's getting past a joke now.
Unfortunate thread to show this flex in.I would defy anyone to claim that there is nothing in their past that wouldn't be deemed inappropriate in this snowflake time we live in. It's getting past a joke now.
