On Tuesday, as the Mummers Parade festivities were moving from your television screen to drunken celebrations down on Two Street, a scandal began unfolding involving a local Mummers troupe and its purported use of blackface. Except — says the performer being accused — there was no blackface.
The skit in question came to us courtesy of Finnegan New Years Brigade Comic Club, which previously ran afoul of public opinion with a 2016 routine making fun of Caitlyn Jenner.

This article is about a month old but is timely considering all the blackface and MAGA hat madness. It is a case study in the lust to be offended and sound important.

Under Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge, people were put to death for wearing — or even owning — a pair of eyeglasses, which marked them as educated and therefore counterrevolutionary.

Yet Talcum X, Shaun King, is black enough to be taken seriously. Or something.

Maybe he wasn't’t black enough. It's a pillar of SJW ideology.
There is to be no mixing of the races.
No tainting of black purity.
That is why the Democrats went after George Zimmerman.
They hates them some cracker octaroon.

No mixing of races - Where have we heard that before?
Racial purity - And where have we heard that before?
Could “racist” and “nazi” be projections? Hmmmm?

It's OK for a black man to put chains on a white man, but...

Isn't parody protected under the law?
Man, I wish they still televised the Mummers parade nationally. Great creativity, much more entertaining than the Rose parade!!
