A city councillor in British Columbia says an online mob of "extremists" and "politically motivated hackers" is responsible for uncovering and publicizing a photo of him wearing a blackface costume to a Halloween party in 2007.
A city councillor in British Columbia says an online mob of “extremists” and “politically motivated hackers” is responsible for uncovering and publicizing a photo of him wearing a blackface costume to a Halloween party in 2007.
Colwood Coun. Ian Ward on Monday addressed the photo in a statement on his X account after the picture, which was originally published on a personal family blog, surfaced on social media in recent days.
Ward acknowledged he posed for the photo wearing a Washington Bullets basketball jersey, a gold chain and a wig, with his teeth coloured gold and his hands and face painted black.
It was about blackface, which you know very well. No-one has ever been offended by “whiteface”, because of what fucking happened in history.
Not all white people share the same history, man. If you think that any white person is the same as every white person, then you’re being a real racist.
Nazis brutalized my family, so fuck you for thinking I would ever be ok with som “white lives matter” cunts. You are an asshole.
And more bullshit “but no white people have been oppressed as well”.
And when did this happen to be black people oppressing white people, hmm?
I’m Finnish. We were under Swedish rule, then Russian rule. That wannabe gotcha there doesn’t make “whiteface” any more of a thing. You can’t come up with an example of anyone getting offended by it, yet thought to equate it to blackface.
Just like the idiotic “white lives matter” people.
