so i understand that the charcoal masks serve a real purpose but 10/10 times i see a white person post a selfie wearing one my first thought is "omfg theyre wearing blackface"

like i guess im just wondering why folks do this so much? i cannot be the only one who thinks its weird

like this happens... a lot. and i have to doubletake every time. cause people still actually wear blackface all the time? it just.... seems inadvisable and i don& #39;t understand.

like i& #39;m white so i& #39;m really not trying to dictate what is and is not racist i just. can& #39;t help but think that this must make a lot of people really fucking uncomfortable. it sure startles the hell outta me https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏻‍♀️" title="Woman shrugging (light skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman shrugging (light skin tone)">

anyways this thread brought to you by Someone I Knew In Highschool Posted a Charcoal Mask Selfie With An Extremely Uncomfortably Gleeful Grin and It Was Really Jarring and I& #39;m Still Kinda Worried About It
