I know this is just a bunch of terrible kids but...

White people using suntan lotion is racist.

It does refer to a scene in the original Mary Poppins movie where the soot-covered chimney sweeps are mistaken for hottentots by the Admiral,...

The Admiral mistaking the dirty faced sweeps for hottentots, is not blackface, they didn't blacken their faces to look like something else, they didn't even do it intentionally.

The Admiral firing on the sweeps thinking the were hottentots wasn't racism, it's because they had a history of violence against each other, been prior fighting. Granted they probably got to the fighting stage because of racism but it's beyond that point. That's like saying the US marine on Guadalcanal hating Japs is racist.

CNN, because journalism, lists all the people who have done "blackface" if, in fact, the meaning of blackface has been expanded to pretending to be black.

The list includes not only actors portraying black people but also -- Robert Downey Jr. in "Tropic Thunder". Downey was not portraying a black man; he was portraying an actor who was portraying a black man. And playing for parody.

All those soldiers sneaking through the jungle at night, and the actors portraying those soldiers in the movies.

Don't forget about the white people in all of those old B&W film negatives.

Medical science is now experimenting with head transplants. Currently only on animals. Is it legal to put a black man's head on a white man's body? Or is that also called black face?

Ray Milland and Rosey Grier.

I saw this at the Miramar Theater in San Clemente Ca with Kimberly Ann.

CNN because journalism:

Katy Perry faces criticism over shoe design resembling blackface

source of "criticism" in order to make headline accurate: one single tweet with, at this moment, 20 likes

Where are the Native American protests? They should be all over this bandwagon:

BLACKFEET or BLACKFOOT INDIANS. "Blackfoot" is the English translation of the word siksika, which means "black foot." It refers to the dark colored moccasins the people wear. Some Blackfoot people are annoyed by the plural "Blackfeet," which is obviously an anglicization.

Katy Perry is obviously appropriating their culture.

Blackfeet is an anglicization. And blackfoot isn't?

Damn whippersnappers are gettin' too damn lazy...

Maybe more of an indication of wealthy inequality

anglicise (third-person singular simple present anglicises, present participle anglicising, simple past and past participle anglicised) (non-Oxford British spelling)

1. (transitive) To make English, as to customs, culture, pronunciation, spelling, or style.

2. (transitive) To dub or translate into English.

3. (transitive) To become English.

The first definition was applied to distinguish between the translation and the modified translation. We don't think of people as having foot, we think of them as having feet … excepting footfootfoot of course.

Y'know, I make a meager living correcting words written by other people, and I'm pretty darned good at it, but this shit . . .

??? I got nuthin'. Furthermore, I couldn't diagram a sentence to save my sweet patootie.





Because, seriously, WTF?

Sure would take a lot of paper to print a book like that.
