Good point (I am assuming you were being sarcastic)

To spell it out to lurkers...

The blackface character, with a black curly haired wig and painted on big lips, is the bad guywho beats children.

The white dude that gives away presents to kids, is the good guy.

Those are the 2 characters, that were developed by a nation that engaged in the colonialization of darker skinned nations.

It's pretty easy to see why people believe that there are (intentional or unintentional) racial undertones.

Ban Lord of the Rings. All the bad guys are dark as fuk. There are racial undertones. Tolkien was British. The British colonized everybody.

Burn all the books.

wish times weren't so sensitive. On the radio before halloween all the DJ's were warning against people doing black face, saying it's racist, offensive, etc. To be honest I don't get the big deal as long as you're not being overtly racist. I'd love to go as Tyrone Bigums for Halloween, but apparently dressing up as a fictional character is racist

Dressing up as the blonde-haired, blue-eyed bimbo Courtney Dumforcum is still cool.

I haven't read the books. Are all the villians dark skinned humans in the book?

In the movies most of the bad guys are explictly stated to be non-human, and there are bad white humans. Like this guy...



So, I think your example between the Lord of the Rings - and the Dutch tradition of depicting the good guy as white, and the bad who abuses children as black - are a poor equivalence.

Don't know where u got that the black guy gets depicted as being bad and child abusing, but you could not be more wrong.

(In case you don't know. The above is from a Comedy film, where Robert Downey Junior pretended to be a black man.)
I don't know wtf the holiday is about, nor do I care. I think that either way, people getting upset over this, black, or white, is stupid. Anyone who is legitimately going to look down on another person or oppress them over skin color is a low I.Q. piece of shyt.

Also, that's a bit of a stretch calling Tropic Thunder a comedy film, I'd rather smack myself and drink my own piss than watch that piece of crap, it's the only time I ever walked out of a movie. Some girl wanted to see it, I was so furious I made her get our money back, srs. It amazes me that we live in a world where people get paid millions of dollars to create gutter trash such as Tropic Thunder.

I realized now that I am wrong on the bad part, it's a bit more complicated than that...

In medieval iconography, Saint Nicholas is sometimes presented as taming a chained devil, who may or may not be black. Although no hint of a companion, devil, servant, or any other human or human-like fixed companion to the Saint is found in visual and textual sources from the Netherlands from the 16th until the 19th century.[10] According to a long-standing theory first proposed by Karl Meisen,[11] Zwarte Piet and his equivalents in Germanic Europe originally represented such an enslaved devil, forced to assist his captor. This chained and fire-scorched devil may have re-emerged as a black human in the early 19th-century Netherlands, in the likeness of a Moor and as a servant of Saint Nicholas.[12

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwarte_Piet

"European Santas have long had menacing companions like Krampus or Belsnickle who punish wicked children with much more than a lump of coal. In the Netherlands, the idea that Santa has a sinister helper goes back centuries. However, the modern Black Pete as he is portrayed today is a more recent invention.


The Black Pete that people dress up as now was popularized in a mid-19th century children’s book by Jan Schenkman, says Joke Hermes, a professor of media, culture, and citizenship at Inholland University. She notes that Schenkman was very interested in the Dutch royal family members, “one of whom bought a slave in a slave market in Cairo in the mid-19th century.” This person, she suggests, could’ve helped inspire the character of Black Pete."

[/I][URL=https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/12/black-pete-christmas-zwarte-piet-dutch/]https://news.nationalgeographic.com/...te-piet-dutch/[/URL]

Regarding abusing kids, I read things like Black Pete is supposed to kidnap bad children, or beat them with his rod.

Just once on Halloween I want to see a black guy dress up as a white guy, and a white guy dress up as a black guy and get into fake fights about who is more racist.
