i think these constant kneejerk reactions about wearing blackface are, in general, over blown. i don't really see what the big deal is, honestly.
you're going to tell me "that's racist!", and i'm going to say "no, it isn't". and, we can have that debate if you catch me in the right forum, but, for right now, i'm just going to say that i think it's kind of a trivial concern to get yourself worked up over.
but, those pictures are going to piss people off.
and, the people that it's going to piss off aren't going to vote conservative...
