A student at Syracuse University was accused of wandering the campus in blackface over the weekend.
The student claims it was all a misunderstanding, and that he had simply painted his face a dark color because he was on his was to rob a house. Police continue to investigate both scenarios. For those readers overseas who don't understand "blackface": Back in the bad 'ol days, alleged comedians would paint their faces black and tell jokes which played off of racial stereotypes. In our more enlightened time, this has come to be viewed as extremely offensive. Posted at 03:37 AM | Permalink | | | |
