Regarding blackface- when I was in 6th grade I was obsessed with rap music and hip hop and particularly Young MC. I decided I was going to “dress up” like Young MC by wearing my dads clothes and painting my body brown with my moms eyeshadow. I was a very white 12 year old. I thank my mother to this day hat she patiently heard me out and then firmly said, “ah... no. You are not doing that.” I was confused then but then again we didn’t have google back then for me to have checked how dumb I was.
