As long as she doesn’t dress up like Obammy...it’s ok.

Is she a conservative? If so then it is racism...if she is a liberal, it’s the highest art form known to man.

Reminds me of my toast this morning.
Don’t you hate it when your kids turn the knob all the way over to cook some frozen breakfast thingy and then forget to turn it back?

Well those two pics in post number one bear a striking resemblance to the outfit he wore in Kenya.
I'm just sayin'.....

The 14 page spread should be displayed by other art. Perhaps the jar of urine with the crucifix in it?

I think we have all reached the saturation point with the ‘Arab culture’ thing ..... It lost its novelty by now.

Assuming she's a “progressive” then it's “art”.
To: Libloather
She looks very convincing as a black woman. Quite African. If makeup is that good, I need to make myself black and my chances of getting a job might be improved.

Oh my, is this what First Frump will wear to the Oscars, er, the Emmys, er, the Tonys, er, the Nobel Awards??
Although, now that I look at it, the crown may be a bit too small to fit, and a bit too, understated. That’s it. The whole outfit is too understated for MO, so forget it. Move along.

Has anyone else but me noticed that the word racism has been so bastardized that it's lost any meaning? How does putting on black makeup mean that you think blacks are inferior? It only means you're putting on black makeup for an attention-getting publicity ploy. Nothing more.
HOw about when Oprah's ugly mug is on a magazine cover every month with her straightened hair and surgically altered nose? Is she trying to look white?

Of course it racism. Everything white people do concerns racism.

She must not have gotten the memo about the Boob Belt being Haute Couture this year.
To: Libloather
She's not "in blackface" as that term is properly applied to a specific character from nineteenth-century popular entertainment--the "blackface minstrel".
I see a woman of extraordinary beauty wearing sumptuous "oriental" costume in very, very, dark make-up. Much ado about nothing.
