Blackface/white face and Hollywood

[Weltall]

There is a lot of nuance to this discussion, but your post kind of skips over all of it in favor of making simple, reductionist points.

I mean, minorities didn't use whiteface to dehumanize white people and advance negative stereotypes (and their real-world consequences) for decades. White people haven't historically been passed over for roles in movies and TV for decades either in favor of persons of color. White Americans have been in control of everything forever, and that control was really bad for everyone else, and now the pendulum is swinging the other direction. Equlibrium will arrive after a generation or two when white people no longer get automatic superiority and privilege just for being born with the preferred skin color. So, the quicker we get to that point, the better. 

Also, no history ought to be forgotten, but Confederate history is shameful and the political ideology which emerged from its ruins has no redeeming qualities. It belongs in books and maybe a few museums, but those dumb statues should be paving parking lots of abortion clinics so they finally serve a useful purpose.
