We all should agree that this black face from the Virginia Governor Ralph Northam is by far the most offensive. For it features the vile KKK member next to the black face person, it was a picture that was submitted with the person’s name in their medical yearbook (not high school) and was not part of any skit. While this one is the least offensive (below). For while it is over the top it is a comedy that makes fun of everyone in someway. Therefore when classifying any potential offensive act we have to look at the full content behind such acts to really determine whether we should be offended or just laugh. I lean to laughter most of the time.
FOOTNOTE- I only dressed as a woman once and that in a 7 year old comedy skit.
