Black face

Sun Times columnist, Mary Mitchell has written her latest column of white people putting on black face and she asks if those people are stupid or ignorant. She then states that African-Americans use white face makeup in many dances because it shows facial expression better and that is fine. Really? Now I'm outraged. Clowns use white full-face makeup including black clowns. Yes, there are some as I saw on TV. So, if you're white you can't use black face makeup but it you're black you can use white face makeup. Do you see the dichotomy here? Should we, caucasians, play the race card and state NO African-Americans can wear white face makeup? Just sayin'.
