Personally I couldn't give a whit if a black person dressed up as white person.Wouldn't take any offence at all. I know people of all hues - I don't judge people by the colour of their skin.

Quite ironic the independent have run an article on this story and basically said in it that anyone who goes to the darts is a drunkard or a harlot whilst moralizing about someone with a blackened face. Couldn't make it up The aim in going to darts is to just to sit and drink. No actual sport and what there is you can't see.

Spike Lee tackles the blackface issue here. Not a bad film if you've got a spare couple of hours . Esquire magazine on why blackface is racist.

On that level, "Bah Humbug!" and owning a black car might be considered rascist ... anything in monochrome is definitely rascist! Edited by Henry of Peckham (18 Dec 2017 6.35am)

Next the pc brigade will be complaining about pantomimes-Principal boys being played by long-legged girls and dames by old men.

I see no one has complained about it taking the p*ss out of Abbott. There isn't a politician out there that doesn't deserve being laughed at. They are all s***e.

Whilst I don't think its racist to black up, its certainly something of an issue, though I think if its funny and not actually racially stereotyping its more likely that white people are going to be the main complainers. There is a big difference for doing something silly because its funny, or doing something silly because it mocks someone's ethnicity.
