I do understand how blacking up is racist at times. But to generalise all blacking up as racist is a slippery slope to political correctness madness. Surely you're bright enough to understand not all blacking (or even 'whitening up') is racist, doesn't context have to be taken into consideration?
As an example, the blacked up chimney sweep attending weddings, do you consider that racist or a mock up of a fact that chimney sweeps get black faces?
