Sorry White People, Blackface Is Still Not OK | Thought Catalog

Sorry White People, Blackface Is Still Not OK | Thought Catalog

This article showcases one person's strong opinion on the use of black face.

Personally, I agree with the author of the article.  However, I do think that in some cases black face is okay.  I think that black face is acceptable in the theater when the actors are trying to portray a black character.  I think it is okay only if that character is a true representation of who black people were during the time period in which the show is taking place.  I do not think it is okay for people to use black face in inappropriate manners trying to harass or criticize others.
