Its not whiting up

[dub]

whether it is, or it whether or not it is their intention, it will be seen as "whiting up"

 

obviously Tinie's the only one who had people around him to tell him better, still looks bad being a part of it

[Yoshie]

Nah, that picture is fucking offensive.

[Supermalt]

Nah, that picture is f*cking offensive.

Hate when black people do white-face.

 

true, should educate them.

 

Whiteface is a form of theatrical makeup used by performers to represent a white person. The practice gained popularity during the 19th century and contributed to the proliferation of stereotypes. Stereotypes embodied in the stock characters of whiteface minstrels not only played a significant role in cementing and proliferating racist images, attitudes, and perceptions worldwide, but also in popularizing white culture.  In some quarters, the caricatures that were the legacy of whiteface persist to the present day and are a cause of ongoing controversy.

What is the difference between whitening up and blacking up or is one acceptable and the other not regardless of context

[Supermalt]

One has a negative historical context rooted in hatred and supremacy, the other doesnt

[Gambino]

Who's paying for this campaign?

[dub]

You'd assume it was government funded for what they're trying to do, but I don't think anyone funded by the government would try and pull of such a campaign. 

[ag.]

if a white person says theyre offended by 'whiting up' theyre either pretending or just very stupid

[dub]

That's stupid. White people have every right to be offended. Perhaps less than black people due to lack of history behind it, but they have a right nevertheless.

[dub]

Conservative supporters of VIP2.

How do you respond to claims that your manifesto has £25billion of unfunded spending commitments?

[Supermalt]

That's stupid. White people have every right to be offended. Perhaps less than black people due to lack of history behind it, but they have a right nevertheless.

Why

[dub]

because it sends a message that being white can be negative

i'm sure the idea is that its not about being a white person per se but making sure that you as a black person are represented

but the wrong message can and will be sent

Sends the wrong negative message based on what?
