How far Left, could a Leftist Left, if a Leftist could Left, Left.

Like was said in the posts above, acting in a movie in blackface needs to be looked at in context.  Why isn't it the same for me dressing up on Halloween?

 

 

I think you nailed it here. There is no context to passersby or glancers that would see you. 

 

It's "wrong" because it's easiest and perhaps even necessary for culture to have a vague low resolution picture, and simply for the sake of efficiency and protection say blackface = bad. It's not actually that simple, but it is to a lot of people exactly that simple, so if you really really want to do it, it's not "wrong" par se, but you've gotta deal with the consequences and social cost to your reputation.
