Some of us always thought white actors prancing around in blackface was
offensive.

Because someone told you it was.

Do you think mimes are making fun of white people too?


Most of the famous mimes were just doing non-offensive funny stuff, and
the white face *some* of them used was not there to depict white people.
Many circus clowns use whiteface. Do you think they are depicting white
people?

The blackfacers were making fun of what they thought was the
stereotypical behavior of black people.

Not necessarily. Do you think Al Jolsen was doing a stereotype?
Did Gene Wilder offend you in Stir Crazy?
Was Laurence Olivier offensive when he played Othello?

Was Sharpton the cause of all that too?
