Even though no one cared, not even three black friends of which two were among the organizers? It was not something to mock black people. I literally covered myself in oil for a performance along with five other dancers. We had to use motor oil to look black, whereas other performers used red dye. The result was black and red people dancing with each other on stage. Seriously. How the hell is this a negative thing? |
By doing what you did you were mocking black people, whether you meant to or not. The historical significance of black face is deeply negative and you doing black face is almost the same as you saying the N word out loud for the duration that you wore it. How others reacted to you is not relevant, the action on its own merits is deeply racist.
