Some people on the Internet know blackface is bad but don’t seem to be entirely sure why. It’s just one of those things that white people shouldn’t do. I wonder about the benefits and failures of this: how far the country has gotten laying down the framework for societal dos and don’ts while not confronting history. If it is possible to ground a true behavioral shift without attacking the root of blackface. The fact that there will always be an audience wanting a Black face, but not necessarily a Black person.
