B4 the late 90s /00s  WAY less adults did halloween.  It was those 'pimp ad ho' parties that turned halloween into an adult thing (over trick or treat age)

I'm not bullying you or whatever I just want to make sure at least a few more people see this.

Just out of curiosity, do you guys think it's ok for black people to paint their face white? Dave Chapelle did it throughout his show. Or do you think that there's no such thing as racism when it's directed towards white people? Clint should know better, you can't get away with shit these days but dude was just dressing up as a funny character.

There is no such thing as racism “when it’s directed towards white people.” White people can be discriminated against but that’s not the same thing as systemic historical oppression.

You must live in a little bubble. I experienced some pretty brutal racism when I first moved to the US from black people. Racism is Racism.

[close]

you experienced prejudice by from individuals, not racism from the foundational institutions and mainstream society of our country.

black americans are 50% less likely to be unemployed than you are.
black americans are 50% less likely to get job interview callbacks.
black americans earn 25% less money when employed than you do.
black americans are 30% less likely to own a home than you are.
black americans are 200-300% more likely to suffer from hypertension than you are.

that is racism.
the idea that a black dude calling you honkey is the same as this is laughable.

First of all, I'm Hispanic. It wasn't just some black dude calling me honkey, it was almost every single black person that I came across treating me like complete shit and making fun of me based solely on the color of my skin. That being said, you're right. It's not "racism" based on the dictionary definition of racism. Still, I don't think it's a big deal that a skateboarder dressed up as a black TV character. Are the guys from It's always sunny racist for using black face? Do you not have a sense of humor?

[Fred Savage]

I have been boycotting Clint’s sponsors since before Clint was even sponsored. Not sure what else to do here. Hey Clint. Fuck you

[eraserheadfuckers]

the whole thing in it's always sunny is showing how stupid and racist blackface is but i think they did a bad job handling it.

i don't think racist tropes are funny.

Just a heads up, black culture is a real thing and what you said has little to do with racism

oh boy here we go.

why is black culture different from white culture?

[TurdyBird]

Justin Henry's skating is sooo good. He comes off as a really solid dude. Just saw a thread Josh Wilson and Rizzo turned pro. Definitely deserved, but would rather have a Justin Henry board

im down for a dick rizzo deck, but not a josh wilson.

[weon]

it's very simple. white people enjoy pretending to be black because its "fun/funny" but they don't and never will have to deal with any of the shit black ppl or other minorities have to deal with on a daily basis. clearly, pretending to be a minority is "for parties."

in the western world (extended to west-dominated world in mass media, e.g. hollywood) there has been a power imbalance in favor of white people for centuries already, of course it is worse for white people to do racist/discriminatory shit

[Dernpop1]

Sam Smyth a fucking herb as well.

[Made In China]

Clint's apology was weak. Justin handled this all very well.

Also I love how there's more people in this thread explaining what systemic oppression and racism is than the amount of people asking why blackface is racist and shit like that. Respect to you all

[Dorje Drolo]

Who gives a fuck what Clint Walker does or Justin Henry calling him out on Social Media. You got real beef with someone hit them up direct. This tattle tale get your phone out narc society we live in so fucking soft. I get it people are all triggered over race shit right now but lighten the fuck up. If shits a joke don't take yourself so serious and laugh a little. What the fuck have comedians been doing all these years. Cracking on stereotypes cause its fucking funny. That video of homie dressed up as a White Devil is funny as fuck and I'm a white dude. If someone is in black face doing some Jim Crow sambo shit ya dude deserves to catch a beating. If someone is Flavor Flav for halloween who the fuck cares.

[Merlin]

I wonder if this josh Henry guy actually talked to Clint before blasting him on Instagram? If not he kinda sounds like a bitch. I’m not supporting Clint, just think you should be man and say something to him first, and not on social media. Sounds like Clint was able to get his number and apologize, so I’m guessing this was the first they ever spoke about it. I was always taught to face stab, not back stab, but hey I’m old, fuck it!

[Ziad]

I don't like Clint Walker but come on so what if you color your skin America is so sensitive it's funny

[bbk]

Racism isn't only a thing in america you know... People not liking people just because they look different is racism, and that happens every possible way, not just white on black. Saying racism is only about african americans in usa is pretty fuckin dumd...

Put the blackface thing aside, people like josh Henry are proof why the next generation will be fucked. A bunch of morons walking around not even able to make eye contact or have a real conversations.

Explain to me why black people are shooting other black people in significantly higher rates than white people. Explain to me why black kids aren't graduating high school. Why are the number of african american single mothers much larger than other races? I can go on and on and all those points I made are reasons that fall into your list of fake 'racism'

tell me about the best fedora brand guy

Far out some people are so dumb. Why would Clint think that this wouldn’t blow up in his face.

I dig the guys skating but he seems like one shitty as guy.

Black people do. And guess what man? As a white dude who will never experience what it is like to be black, you don’t get to tell black people not to be offended by black face or as them “who gives a fuck” when someone is wearing blackface.
