To Cork Or Not To Cork October 2, 2006 zuzu ebogjonson explains when to use blackface on your blog, and when not to. Be sure to click through to the handy flow chart.
I just saw my first blackface performance at a showing of _The Jazz Singer_. I didn’t get it. Why was that supposed to be appealing or entertaining or whatever it was supposed to be? I was actually impressed with his ability to smear greasepaint around his mouth and end up with a perfect oval framing his lips, but honestly, I need this explained to me.
“Are you Bert Williams?–>Yes.–>Liar. Bert Williams has been dead since 1922.” “Are you Michelle Malkin?–>Yes.–> Oh my God, you suck.” genius.
“Do you know what a talking andriod is?” DAMN. I’m proud that I feel like I do what that means, but sadly I can’t explain it. Besides, I’m very white. The was a reference to another fowchart on sexual desire somewhere, and I WANTS IT.
glad you liked the chart! The Talking Android is a central character from Ishmael Reed’s novel Mumbo Jumbo, which one can think of (broadly) as a kind of satirical Da Vinci Code about racism. The talking android is any careerist black leader created and installed by the forces of Atonism / white supremacy, this for the purposes of controlling black folks and stop the spread of jesgrew. Jesgrew can be (broadly) defined as a kind of viral black something that infects white folks and makes them do unexpected things like dance or give coloreds the vote. Also: I am working on the race and sex chart. In light of the numerous conversations that have been going on about race, racial etiquette, apologies, humor and so on, I am taking my time.
I about died when I saw Harold Ford, Jr. on your chart under talking android. He was a classmate of mine at law school, though I didn’t know him well there. Then again, Ann Coulter went to my law school, too.
