That is so disgusting. And I'm actually glad that KUWTK could educate even a tiny bit on the history of blackface, and why it's never a joke.

 

[botty]

[Velcro Fly]

She's at some thing in Vienna with her mom and some dude in blackface comes up to her and it's pretty much the worst thing I've ever seen.

 

[block tower]

EDIT: it was the Netherlands. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwarte_Piet

I was a little surprised as the random history lesson thrown in. It was really well done.

Struggling with my moral compass.

Anything that pisses Kim Kardashian of Vs Blatant racism.

It's not as clear cut as it should be.

Kim and her mom are at this ball in Vienna. They're having a good time until some guest in blackface calls out to them. After taking one look at him, Kim immediately turns away and questions why such a person was allowed into an upscale event.

what the fuck...

giving a pass to racism because you hate a woman that the media taught you to hate?

[Grizzlyjin]

I'm surprised that guy didn't get tossed on the spot. So tasteless

There needs to be a Black History as told by Kris Jenner spinoff lol.

 

[3Sixty]

what the fuck...

its very clear cut you knucklehead

Lol

You Americans so literal.

 

[botty]

as a black man, i was grossed out by this.

 

[Necromanti]

That would be Zwarte Piet in the Netherlands.

Christ there's something wrong with you if you actually have to contemplate which is the worse choice.

Hint: it's racism.

 

[block tower]

That would be Zwarte Piet in the Netherlands.

yeah i just edit my post. pretty unbelievable that its a real tradition lol.

 

[kehs]

Was that kris jenner in young face?

 

[Verano]

Lol

You Americans so literal.

I guess you dont experience racism like most minorities do in america

Thnx mate.

Was genuinely struggling there.

Don't know what I'd do with out you.

Don't worry about it.

What kind of gaf member would I be if I didn't help out slow posters?

Just a regular member.

 

[Satch]

shade ha

 

[speculawyer]

Who gives a fuck about some a-hole in blackface? Kardashian means ruined thread.

 

[Dennis]

nm

not worth it

 

[Majmun]

Can't view the video from the Netherlands

 

[Booty Patrol]

This passive-aggressiveness is unbecoming. Just insult people outright instead.

But then it wouldn't be shade.

 

[wsippel]

yeah i just edit my post. pretty unbelievable that its a real tradition lol.

Because it has fuck all to do with blackface, and even less with the US definition of blackface. But it's OT anyway, and we have a few threads about this every year, so there will be a time and place to discuss this (non)issue in depth again and again, using the same arguments every time.

 

[Wazzy]

Just a regular member.

Sounds pretty awful.

This passive-aggressiveness is unbecoming. Just insult people outright instead.

Okay.

You're tacky and I hate you.

And don't edit it out. You asked me to insult you so I am.

 

[DMeisterJ]

as a black man, i was grossed out by this.

So... you wouldn't be grossed out if you were white, or Dominican?

 

[block tower]

Because it has fuck all to do with blackface, and even less with the US definition of blackface.

so it's blackface just not U.S. blackface, how's it any less offensive?

 

[Dennis]

Sounds pretty awful.


Okay.

You're tacky and I hate you.

And don't edit it out. You asked me to insult you so I am.

I edited it out because petty sniping on NeoGAF is a waste of time.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

This thread is getting too aggressive. Somebody post the Roger Sterling blackface gif from Mad Men for God's sake!

 

[Wazzy]

For people who can't watch it I found a preview clip of it.

[milquetoast]

I remember this.. Later on the guy said it wasn't racist for him to do blackface because he's an Arab.

 

[MrDenny]

Probably hired by the production team.
What are the chances of that guy meeting kim among hundreds of people.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

As a white middle class male I don't see the problem.

 

[Majmun]

It's tradition in Holland. Kids don't associate zwarte pieten with a race.
Hell, I was even dressed as a zwarte piet a few times when I was younger. Didn't see any harm myself. Thought it was fun.

 

[Randam]

Ah, I remember it.
Was at the "wiener opernball"

 

[Volimar]

Probably hired by the production team.
What are the chances of that guy meeting kim among hundreds of people.

And Kris being ready with that lesson. Anything to draw attention to herself.

:tinfoil hat:

NOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Broder Salsa]

Isn't keeping up with the kardishans some completely scripted bullshit? Wouldn't even be surprised if it was just some behind the camera guy they told to do that, to add some drama to a boring episode.

 

[DeSo]

Is blackface exclusively an American thing?

Edit:

Blackface is a US thing. It doesn't exist in Europe. Our history with black people is different.

Okay yeah, that's what I thought.

 

[kamorra]

so it's blackface just not U.S. blackface, how's it any less offensive?

It is.

> implying you're "aggressive" if you're repulsed by someone painting their face black saying "I'm Kanye!"

smh
