Can i ask an honest opinion? As I was doing this video, it crossed my mind that Africans might take offense to me using black makeup. Even though I was trying to look like a skeleton, are you offended by it? there's a histroy of stupid white people putting on 'blackface' which is really offensive here in the US. What are your honest thoughts on this?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Not at all, we Africans do put on black paint too...let me get some pictures of all types of paints ( mostly black and white)
The black is from charcoal mixed with water
This warrior has his face decorated with a distinctive white clay to look more "menacing."
Usually done to ladies as a sign of tradition, sometimes during their traditional marriage or some tradition
So I doubt any real African would be offended by a black paint when we put it on ourselves for one traditional rite or the other.
My network was acting up.
You are right it actually never crossed my mind as i watched the video
