DL474 – She’ll probably show better judgment next year. Well, one would hope.

Rodney – Agreed on all.

I think the last person to get away with black-face was Bing Crosby in “Holiday Inn”.

…how ’bout Robert Downey Jr. — in Tropic Thunder (…not really black-face though)

My thoughts:
- Is this racist? not necessarily. Blackface doesn’t automatically mean racist. From the picture, she is mimicking/mocking Li’l Wayne with some kind of body make-up (not true black face). Lil Wayne is a Grammy award winning rapper, mocking someone successful isn’t automatically racist.
- Did she do this to cast a bad image on blacks? maybe, you can’t tell from the picture. She may be really racist, or she may really like Lil Wayne’s work. (I don’t care enough to know one way or the other)
- Will some people see this as racist? absolutely.
- If she was wearing black face and acting like the black actors from Shirley Temple movies or in a manner that cast blacks as lower intelligence, or all criminals then it would be racist.
- Do the Cowboys have the right to fire someone that acts in a manner the they feel reflects negatively on them? absolutely.

RT – I agree. Stupid, not malicious.

Mrs. Crankipants – She was washing her hair at the time.

Rob – Wow, that exact description was under my photo in my high school yearbook!

But white face on a black guy is OK. Next thing we will not be able to make fun of OJ. At some point, blacks are just going to have to grow a pair just like every Cracker, Coonass, Redneck, Trailer living, Beer swilling White person has had to do.

Black-face is never a good idea, I guess Whitney missed that Mensa meeting.
