Double standard? Nick Cannon dons white face
[url=http://celebrity.yahoo.com/blogs/celeb-news/nick-cannon-wears-whiteface--cue-the-backlash-013716350.html][quote]Hold up… What the f#ck is “White Face”??? Did I just create a new term??? Nice!!! LOL[/quote][quote]Damn I didn't know it was going to be this hard being White! ... I'm exhausted with all this "privilege" LOL #WhitePeopleProblems[/quote][quote]"I think we should have a million white man march and protest @NickCannon album!! Somebody call @rushlimbaugh" LOL[/quote][quote]I love this conversation though. It’s showing a lot of people’s true colors… #punintended #wppm woooo!!![/quote][/url]
Sooo, yeah. Really? Its acceptable for him, but if the roles are reversed its automatically racism. Also the fact he is talking about white privilege, yet is rich, is ironic.
I also get that this is most likely a april fools joke, but seriously, the double standard needs to stop, clear example of it.
Thoughts flood on the reactions, and an example of a double standard?

[quote]Also the fact he is talking about white privilege, yet is rich, is ironic.[/quote] White privilege is more than being rich. It's also about having the presumption of innocence rather than the presumption of guilt.

Don't know who he is, but he looks like a pussy douchebag.

minstrel shows used whiteface and blackface. both are racist. also it's funny, as a whiteperson, he looks better as a homeless man than his career ever did.

Edited by Neno is drunk: 3/25/2014 10:12:55 PMI didn't think it was racist when Robert Downey jr did black face. Or when the guys from its always sunny did black face I actually can't think of anyone thinking it was a problem.

I thought they never went back.

No matter how much he pretends, he will still be a nig on the inside
-
He looks really creepy...

Im white. Its not a double standard. There is a reason it is offensive to wear black face. Its in our history and very easy to look up. Not the other way around.
-
Thats just creepy
-
Blame the liberals who think minorities can do no wrong.
-
It is a double standard, and it will never stop because black people think they are under privileged.

IDK why people think whites are the best, Asian Americans make so much more money lol.

Edited by Bistromathics: 3/25/2014 4:06:14 PMOf the many burdens the White Man must bear, the fact that he wasn't privileged enough to have had such a beautiful history as the Black Man is one of them. While we must stand up against the horrors of some kind of perpetual victim complex, we should also try to remind the poor White Man that context actually does matter, and that Blackface has received most of its praise for being related to a certain lifestyle choice that only Blacks were privileged enough to enjoy. We can take some comfort - though it isn't nearly enough to counteract the searing pain of The Dreaded Double Standard - in knowing that at least there are a few less Whites in prison than Blacks and a few more on private jets. Unfortunately, this is not due to the kind of privilege that Blacks enjoy, but instead because of the extreme amounts of hard work and dedication that our underrated race puts in; after all, we live in a society that provides full equality of opportunity to all people and their only barrier to living a successful life is just not trying hard enough. That said, Cannon is an idiot and what he did was distasteful. And terrifying. He looks kind of like Andy Samberg. Anyway, stay tuned for our next special: "Christians, most oppressed people in America?"

There has been a big double standard for awhile now.
