Blackface On SUNY Purchase TV station
    #5400437 - 03/14/06 06:38 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

This kid at my school went on a show black face. I'm gonna post an article and i'm just curious as to what you all think. I personally feel like this whole thing was blown out of proportion. What do y'all think?

"The student under fire, 20-year-old Billy Prinsell of Glen Ridge, N.J., said he never meant for his show to be racist. He said he was merely mimicking a campus show host who had made fun of him. He said his use of makeup was a far cry from the shoe polish donned by turn-of-the-century minstrels who stereotyped black people.

"It wasn't anything you wouldn't find on 'Saturday Night Live' (or) the 'Dave Chappelle Show,' " Prinsell asserted. "I just wanted to imitate one person who happened to be black, and in doing so I had three makeup artists make me his skin tone. This was not to generalize a race; it was to imitate one person," he said in a telephone interview with The Journal News.

"He brought up a picture of me on his TV show (and) he would say that this kid's gay, he's a loser."

Prinsell, who bantered with a guest and took calls, said police responded when students showed up afterward with a baseball bat, but he chose to handle the situation "diplomatically" and not file charges. Since then, he said, he has written an apology that will appear in the campus newspaper Monday.

"I wrote an editorial apologizing to anyone who was offended because that was not my intent. However, I think people are making a lot bigger deal of this than it really is," he said.

Students interviewed said they were appalled by the host's use of blackface to mimic the "gangsta rapper" demeanor of the other student host.

"Maybe he wasn't dancing and shucking and jiving, but you are perpetuating negative stereotypes about black men and black people in the community in general," said Clinton Lowe, co-president of the campus group Organization of African Peoples In America, which filed complaints with the student government and administration. He said he was particularly offended by Prinsell's guest's references to black men forcing themselves on women and "robbing their fathers' liquor stores." "

God, people get upset about the dumbest things these days. The world is way too politically correct.

Have you ever seen those little porch jockies on people's porches? They are little black guys dressed up to look like servants and people put them on their porches.

:rotfl:

suffer's mom thought it would be an excellent idea to buy one of those recently on ebay.  She opened it in front of us, and declared that she was going to put it on the front porch of their home in Florida. 

We were horrified...the idea of a rich white woman putting a black servant statue on the front porch of her mansion in the SOUTH...I mean come on.  So we hid the little statue while she was gone, and she forgot about it I think.  Thank god.

Yeah, I am a very non-politically correct kind of guy. But, when I see those things I can't help but think they are just a tad bit racist.

Yeah, and even a wee bit creepy looking  :crazy:

I believe they're called "lawn jockeys".  I mean, who could think that would be socially acceptable to have on display?!  :rolleyes:

I want one of those to put on top of my dresser. It's just so over-the-top offensive that I just have to have one.

It would only be acceptable if you strategically placed it next to a swastika and a kkk hood.

Damn, I would have to go pick those up. I don't think they carry those items at my local Meijer's, though. :wink:

My friends dad from Georgia has one, but he also has a pocket knife that has KKK on it. (He's not a clan member he just thinks it's funny)

He's funnier than shit though. (He talks like Boomhour from King of the Hill) He told me a story once how he hired a black guy to drive his car into a tree so he could claim it on his insurance. He said, "You shoulda seen that 'black dude' ridin inda backsea drivin wida broom. He hit tha twee an I ran over to see em and dat 'black dude' was in da front floor board cwyin."
