This is RACIST. I am offended.

SubversiveMustache commented about this earlier. He said:

For posters calling this blackface:

Blackface and black face paint are two very different things. One is an attempt to mimic racial physical attributes and stereotypes. Unless this is a representation or exaggeration of an actual racial group, this is not blackface, just face paint that happens to be black.

Unless of course this is a play on the stereotype of the obsidian-skinned, gold-lipped inhabitants of the planet Jetebonium IV. If so, carry on.

Jetebonium IV sends their regards.

Please tell me how this is racist? It's simply a woman with black and gold face paint on, it's artwork.

well, if your whole idea is 'black skin with gold paint' and the first thought that comes to mind is 'i'm gonna need a lot of black paint..' you're probably a racist. honestly, a huge group of people is born with dark brown to black skin. you couldn't have found one that would fit your artistic desires?

plus there's a little hint of white people getting to try on black as an accessory in there, too.

question. is a black woman with white face paint racist too?

[–]madethisaccountjustn [score hidden]

depends. is the artistic effect to depict a white person? then maybe. there's also a problem that (institutional) racism is impossible to leverage against white people since there's no system of black power.
