Comments on: Is Blackface Less Offensive if Worn by a ‘Black’ Woman? http://www.thefashioncult.com/2011/02/is-blackface-less-offensive-if-worn-by-a-black-woman/ Culture Criticism Through a Fashion Lense Fri, 03 May 2013 21:07:13 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: Linzeeb4 http://www.thefashioncult.com/2011/02/is-blackface-less-offensive-if-worn-by-a-black-woman/#comment-636 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 19:38:00 +0000 http://www.thefashioncult.com/?p=10553#comment-636 I think Beyoncé’s race has something to do with it sure, but I believe it more has to do with the intent. While there are always going to be a few belonging to the overly politically-correct army who are offended, the intent here was to honor. She wasn’t painted darker just to contrast etc. I cannot blame any one for being offended by the use of blackface, there was a scandal recently about a Filipino magazine using dark makeup on background models, while one without was featured front and center with the caption ‘stepping out of the shadows’. clearly, they were not trying to celebrate the beauty of deep complexions, as I believe beyonce is here.

I think it’s actually a compliment for folks to emulate dark skin as dark skin is beautiful too.
Also, those that notice the dark face first and are ‘offended’ by it, probably don’t notice the fabric and cut of a dress or ask themselves ‘Just who designed that outfit!?’

hence, those people don’t matter.
